In the context of rapid developments in artificial intelligence, Baidu Tieba's 'Stupid Bar' has unexpectedly become an important data source for AI training, challenging traditional perceptions of high-quality data. This community, known for its absurd and humorous content, has outperformed well-known platforms in tests such as Q&A and brainstorming, making it one of the most popular AI training databases. Research shows that the conversational and multi-turn Q&A data from 'Stupid Bar' helps AI come closer to human communication styles. While AI has limitations in understanding human humor, the jokes from 'Stupid Bar' feature tight logic, rich rhetoric, and strong...

Meta Platforms has begun to provide detailed explanations to Brazilian users about how their personal data will be used for training generative artificial intelligence (AI) in compliance with the requirements of the Brazilian National Data Protection Authority (ANPD). The company offers users the option to decide whether to allow the use of their data. Starting this Tuesday, users will receive related information via email and social media notifications. The ANPD had previously suspended Meta's new privacy policy due to concerns about the use of data for AI training, but the policy was reinstated after Meta agreed to provide transparency.

Elon Musk's xAI has announced the launch of an artificial intelligence training system named 'Colossus', powered by 100,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs, which is considered the most powerful AI training system globally. Its performance may even surpass that of the U.S. Department of Energy's Aurora supercomputer. The power of Colossus is largely attributed to Nvidia's H100 GPU, which operates language models at a speed 30 times faster than previous GPUs, especially in transformer-based tasks.

The 2024 annual work trends report released by Microsoft and LinkedIn shows that employers' preferences are shifting towards candidates with AI skills rather than those with extensive industry experience. 71% of corporate executives are inclined to hire job seekers with AI capabilities, but only 25% of companies plan to offer AI training, leading to 75% of knowledge workers learning AI tools on their own. With work pressure intensifying, 46% of employees consider resigning, and 45% worry that AI will replace their jobs. AI is reshaping the workplace, requiring professionals to actively learn and adapt.
