<noscript>
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;URL=error-no-javascript.html">
</noscript>


This method or a variation is much better than the Hidden Form variable method blogged earlier.

Kai-Fu Lee on China-US AI Race - Q&A Transcript from a Bloomberg Interview

Kai-Fu Lee, Chairman of Sinovation Ventures and author of  AI Superpowers and  AI 2041: Ten Visions for Our Future on the China-US AI Race Q: There's still a lot of challenges when it comes to the whole monetization of AI, according to his perspective. In the last three years, though, how have you looked at this whole evolution of China AI versus the US, and what are the advantages and challenges for China? A: Yeah, so firstly, I disagree on the prospects for the USA. USA because yes, you look at OpenAI, it's making half billion spending 40 billion.

The Mercurial Grok AI Assistant Understands & Speaks Indian Languages

Grok , the AI model developed by Elon Musk's xAI, can understand when you type Indian languages like Hindi, Telugu, Odia or other Indian regional languages using English letters (like when you type 'namaste' instead of 'नमस्ते'), and it can respond by mixing English with those languages. Grok doesn't necessarily need the native script of these languages. It has natural language processing abilities that extend to multiple languages. This is great innovation because many people in India, especially in online communication, use transliteration. Grok can generate responses that combine English words and phrases with words and phrases from the regional language you used in your input. For example, if you ask a question using a mix of English and Telugu transliteration, Grok might respond with a sentence that includes both English and Telugu words. Check these Hindi, Telugu, Odiya samples - Grok, ab Hindi mein Grōk, ippuḍu telugulō Grok, Oḍiā re This way Grok is more...
