Signal
The Walrus article "Will AI Actually Mean We'll Be Able to Work Less?" explores the possibility of a future where artificial intelligence (AI) can drastically reduce the need for human labor, potentially leading to a society where people work much less. While the development of AI technology has the potential to automate many jobs, it is unclear if this will actually lead to a decrease in work hours for humans. The article argues that AI could create new jobs that require human skills, such as emotional intelligence, creativity, and social interaction. Additionally, while AI may be able to perform certain tasks more efficiently, it is unlikely to completely replace the need for human workers in many industries.

The German government is pushing Intel to expand the scale of investment in its €17bn new chip plant in the country, in exchange for higher state subsidies for the landmark project. The US semiconductor group is due to receive €6.8bn in subsidies from Berlin to build its mega fab, or manufacturing plant, in the eastern city of Magdeburg, the largest foreign direct investment in Germany since the second world war.

Germany's last remaining nuclear power plants will be switched off on Saturday, marking a watershed moment in a country that has long harboured deep scepticism of atomic energy. Anti-nuclear campaigners have hailed the shutdown of three reactors as a triumph, following a temporary delay after Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine last year forced Berlin to seek alternatives to Russian gas.

The development of large language models (LLMs) has been a significant milestone in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), with researchers continuously refining and enhancing their capabilities. Recently, OpenAI has introduced GPT-4, an LLM trained using an unprecedented scale of compute and data. In a recent investigation, the authors contend that GPT-4, even in its early stages, is part of a new cohort of LLMs that exhibit more general intelligence than previous AI models. This new generation of LLMs, including Google's PaLM and ChatGPT, demonstrate remarkable performance across a variety of domains, spanning mathematics, coding, vision, medicine, law, psychology, and more.
