ChatGPT Is the Coolest (and Most Terrifying) New Tech of 2022

Image
Photo : Andrey Suslov ( Shutterstock ) When’s the last time a new piece of tech truly amazed you? Tech is all so good these days, it takes something downright disruptive to dazzle and impress anymore. I suspect ChatGPT will do that for you, the chatbot that will answer anything you ask it, or write you anything you can think of. It probably could have written this article (but don’t tell it I said that). What is ChatGPT? ChatGPT is an AI chatbot that can do just about anything. That’s hardly hyperbole. You can ask ChatGPT a question, and it’ll answer it not only to the best of its abilities, but as if a human wrote the response, sometime’s even getting a little wordy. If you ask it to convert 75 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius, you might get an answer like this: The temperature 75 degrees Fahrenheit is equivalent to approximately 23.89 degrees Celsius. To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the following formula: Celsius = (Fahrenheit - 32) / 1.8 Using this formula, we can c...

Why Web 3.0 represents the future for businesses, despite challenges

Image
Though Web 3.0 is years to maturity, one analysis predicts that by 2026, 25 per cent of the population will spend at least one hour a day in the metaverse. Just_Super Web 3.0 has been heralded as the next evolution of the Internet – one that will make the web more immersive and democratic, thanks to a foundation of blockchain technology. Recent layoffs at Meta and the collapse of cryptocurrency exchange FTX have raised questions about viability and credibility in an emerging space. But many Canadian businesses and investors are still betting big on the transformational potential of Web 3.0 across multiple sectors, including some of the most traditional, such as finance and manufacturing. “I’m starting to see the beginning of killer apps and easy-to-use user interfaces, the integration of the old world with the new world,” says Avivah Litan, a distinguished VP analyst at Gartner Inc., a U.S.-based management consulting company with coverage that includes artificial intelligence (AI) a...

The Six Best Ways of Finding a Job Without LinkedIn or Indeed

Image
Photo : MAYA LAB ( Shutterstock ) You’re likely familiar with the usual way to look for a job: T ype the job title you want into a career   site like LinkedIn or Indeed, add few details , and then spend hours scrolling down a list of thousands of potential jobs. W hen you finally get to the bottom, more load in. It can often feel like a numbers game, just robotically applying to tons of jobs and hoping one sticks. But t hese sites only know what you tell them (like job titles and years of experience), and while they can make some guesses about what you might want, they don’t really understand the skills and experience you bring to the table. Job filters aren’t perfect Odds are, you would be a great fit for a lot of different jobs and titles, and the years of experience required are usually less rigid than a computer understands.
