Remember OpenAI's GPT model that was too dangerous for mere mortals? Well, it's now for sale on Azure

OpenAI Pricing

Actually revealed in a reddit post by gwern a day earlier (as indicated in the thread linked to in the OP).

Proof-of-concept open-source app can cut'n'paste from reality straight into Photoshop using a neural network

Cut?

Err, unless they've also managed to advance our mastery of physics to Star Trek levels, that's *Copy* and Paste.

Cool project.

Trello starts waving AI around as collab outfit hits 50 million registrations

Quite a lot of cynicism here...

Personally I love Trello, have umpteen boards and use it every day; it's my main workflow management tool.

Simple, and excellent UI. And the free tier seems quite good value for money.

UK tech freelancer numbers down for first time in 5 years since IR35 tax reforms hit public sector

So all of a sudden it's problematic?

Amazing how the big corps have just decided that they may be enabling transgression of the spirit of the law after years letting the little guy on the other side of the contract worry about it.

I don't have to save my work, it's in The Cloud. But Microsoft really must fix this files issue

The initial misunderstanding of the user doesn't sound that unreasonable tbh. A magic cure-all is sold to them probably using marketing guff and techno babble; users are not always going to understand all constraints and limitations.

This sounds more like a failure of tech and trainers, and not a moronic user.

Expecting the cloud to be fixed is more of a stretch.

It's happening, tech contractors: UK.gov is pushing IR35 off-payroll rules to private sector in Finance Bill

Re: "This measure is expected to impact 170,000 individuals" . . .

Whatever the rights and wrongs of the government's actions, contractors (and the organisations using them) will need to adapt their practice or employment choice - or, yes, if they feel that strongly - move abroad. But that is hardly an existential crisis for IT.

No gaping hole tbh; people who don't want to be taxed like everybody else and don't want to make the effort to adapt don't have the monopoly on talent and intelligence, and won't be missed much if they bugger off elsewhere.
