WASHINGTON: The explosion of generative AI has taken the world by storm, but one question all too rarely comes up: Who can afford it? OpenAI bled around US$540mil (RM2.4bil) last year as it developed ChatGPT and says it needs US$100bil (RM453.85bil) to meet its ambitions, according to industry media The Information. "We're going to be the most capital-intensive startup in Silicon Valley history," OpenAI's founder Sam Altman told a panel recently. And when Microsoft, which poured billions of dollars in investment into OpenAI, is asked about how much its AI adventure will cost, the company answers with assurances that it is keeping an eye on its bottom line.

MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Transportation (DOTr) on Tuesday approved a P2.29 fare hike for the boarding fares of Light Rail Transit Line 1 and 2, as well as a P0.21 hike to the rail lines' distance fare. However, Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista, in a press briefing, said that the implementation of the fare increases had been deferred 'pending a thorough study on the economic impact' to commuters in compliance with an instruction from President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. When asked how long the DOTr will defer the new fare's implementation, Bautista said that it might take a few months.

A Penn State -led team of researchers has literally put pencil to paper to create an accessible, affordable, waterproof and wearable sensor to monitor multiple vital signs. The team published the details of the pencil-on-paper sensor in Chemical Engineering Journal . The research was supported in part by two grants from the U.S. National Science Foundation. The team had previously designed a pencil-on-paper sensor that could be used in "smart diapers" to detect wetness. That sensor, however, was not hydrophobic, so while it was useful in detecting moisture, it could not be used to accurately monitor other health variables where moisture might interfere with the sensing and the results.
