In an antitrust investigation involving Intel's conduct between 2002 and 2006, the European Commission fined the chipmaker $400 million (EUR 376.3 million). The corporation prevented the sale of products using the x86 CPUs of its rivals, according to the European antitrust regulator.

The Commission fined the chipmaker EUR 1.06 billion ($1.13 billion) in 2009 after concluding that Intel had abused its position of market dominance. The General Court, the second-highest court in Europe with its headquarters in Luxembourg, dismissed this fine last year.

ChatGPT is an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) language model developed by OpenAI. It belongs to the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) family of models, which are designed to understand and generate human-like text based on the input they receive.

At its core, ChatGPT is a deep learning model that has been trained on a massive dataset containing text from the internet. This training process enables ChatGPT to learn the patterns, grammar, and context of human language, making it capable of generating coherent and contextually relevant responses to text prompts.

Here's how ChatGPT works:

1. Pre-training: ChatGPT undergoes a pre-training phase where it learns to predict the next word in a sentence based on the words that came before it. This process helps the model develop an understanding of syntax, grammar, and the structure of language.
2. Fine-tuning: After pre-training, the model is fine-tuned on specific datasets with human reviewers providing feedback and guidance. This fine-tuning helps shape the model's behavior and align it with OpenAI's guidelines and ethical standards.
3. Inference: Once trained and fine-tuned, ChatGPT can be used for various natural language understanding and generation tasks. Users provide a text prompt or question to the model, and it generates a response based on its learned knowledge and patterns.

Use Cases:

1. Content Generation: ChatGPT is widely used to generate content for blogs, articles, marketing materials, and more. Content creators can provide a topic or a brief, and ChatGPT can generate detailed and coherent text.
2. Customer Support and Chatbots: Many businesses deploy ChatGPT-powered chatbots to handle customer inquiries, troubleshoot common issues, and provide support 24/7. ChatGPT can handle a wide range of customer queries efficiently.
3. Education and Learning: ChatGPT can assist students and learners by answering questions, providing explanations, and assisting with research. It can be a valuable tool for online education platforms and digital learning resources.
4. Research and Data Analysis: Researchers and analysts can use ChatGPT to extract insights from large datasets, generate reports, and assist in data-driven decision-making processes.
5. Writing Assistance: ChatGPT can serve as a writing assistant, helping users draft emails, reports, creative writing, and more. It can suggest ideas, correct grammar, and improve the overall quality of written content.

Limitations:

While ChatGPT is a powerful tool, it does have limitations:

1. Occasional Inaccuracies: ChatGPT may provide answers that are factually incorrect or incomplete, as it relies on patterns in the training data, which may contain errors.
2. Sensitivity to Input Phrasing: The way a question is phrased can influence the quality of the response. Small changes in wording can lead to different answers.
3. Biased Content: ChatGPT may produce biased or politically sensitive responses, as it can inadvertently reflect biases present in the training data.
4. Lack of Real-World Experience: ChatGPT doesn't have real-world experiences or understanding. It generates responses based on text patterns and may not possess practical knowledge.

It's important to note that while ChatGPT is remarkably capable and versatile, it has certain limitations. For example, it may sometimes generate incorrect or nonsensical answers, be sensitive to input phrasing, or produce biased content if the training data contains biases.

Tesla is pushing out a software upgrade that will allow drivers to play video games on the car's entertainment system while driving, according to a statement released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Thursday. Tesla is sending out a software update to prohibit video games from running on the entertainment system while the car is in motion, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

After receiving a complaint in August, the NHTSA announced on Wednesday that it has begun an investigation into 580,000 Tesla Model 3, Model S, and Model X cars sold between 2017 and 2022. The agency said it is looking into whether the "Passenger Play" feature is being used to divert drivers from playing games on the primary display of the vehicle. so The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration revealed on Wednesday that it is looking into whether drivers can use touch screens to play games.

"Tesla told the agency that it is modifying the functioning of this feature following the opening of Tesla's preliminary evaluation of 'Passenger Play,'" an NHTSA spokesman said in an emailed statement. "When the car is in motion, 'Passenger Play' will now be locked and unplayable, thanks to a recent software update. "'Passenger Play' will now be locked and unusable when the vehicle is in motion," according to an NHTSA spokeswoman in an emailed statement.

Tesla is being closely monitored by the agency. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said earlier this month that it is in contact with Tesla regarding malfunctioning Autopilot cameras in some Fremont, California-made vehicles. Tesla is replacing repeater cameras in some of its US-made vehicles after faulty printed circuit boards were discovered inside, according to HIT-HappeningsinTech.

On Wednesday, France's transport minister stated that there is no evidence that a deadly accident in Paris involving a Tesla (TSLA) Model 3 taxi was caused by a mechanical defect at this time.

G7, a leading Paris taxi firm, has suspended the use of its 37 Model 3 cars after an accident involving one of its drivers on Saturday, in which one person was killed and 20 others were injured. According to a source close to the probe, three persons are in critical condition.  "There are no elements that lead one to believe it was due to a technical issue," Transport Minister Jean-Baptiste Djebbari told RMC radio. 

The minister stated that he had contacted with the CEO of Tesla Europe, who informed him that the Model 3 had received no safety warnings. Requests for comment from Tesla have gone unanswered. The carmaker collects precise data from its vehicles' sensors and cameras, and has previously used this data to refute claims that malfunctioning technology caused accidents. 

Tesla, according to G7 Deputy Chief Executive Yann Ricordel, said on Monday that an initial investigation had ruled out a technical issue. The tragedy happened while an off-duty taxi driver was driving his family to a restaurant, according to Ricordel. The driver attempted to brake, but the automobile instead accelerated, according to Ricordel.

According to a police source, the car, which had been stopped at a red traffic light, abruptly accelerated ahead, striking and dragging a bicycle, who later died. The driver attempted to stop the vehicle by swerving into nearby obstructions, including trash bins, inflicting additional damage, according to the police source, who cited the driver's own account, witnesses, and video footage.

It was unclear if the car was on autopilot mode or not. According to the police source, the motorist passed an alcohol test. 

Experts say that the Log4j vulnerability, also known as the Log4Shell issue (CVE-2021-45046), could enable for the exfiltration of sensitive data in some scenarios. Simply put, the vulnerability might allow thieves to steal data or remove data from a device without permission.

Given the "ubiquitous" prevalence of the Log4j logging library, the Log4j or Log4Shell vulnerability was highlighted last Friday and is considered a major weakness, possibly one of the worst. This is an open-source logging package that practically every major Java-based enterprise software and server in the industry uses. A logging library is used to keep track of all of an application's activities.

By introducing a string of code into the library, any hacker or cybercriminal can obtain control of and run 'arbitrary code,' as well as gain access to a computer system. Researchers at Alibaba were the first to notice the problem, and Microsoft's Minecraft soon followed with a statement stating that they, too, were affected. According to researchers, the issue affects a wide range of businesses and web services, including Apple's iCloud and Google Cloud products, among others. According to researchers, exploits for this weakness already exist and are being utilised in cryptocurrency mining frauds.

According to cybersecurity firm Praetorian, the vulnerability might lead to data theft, and they've informed the Apache Foundation, which manages the Log4j library, about the problem. All clients using Log4j versions 2.15.0 and lower should upgrade to 2.16.0 as soon as feasible, according to the company.

The cybersecurity firm has only provided a video depicting the data exfiltration, claiming that sharing technical information would "only complicate things."

Meanwhile, other companies claim that exploits based on Log4j are on the rise. "The entire Internet is being scanned at the moment — at least two botnets are searching for unpatched vulnerabilities, and we'll be seeing more in the coming days," Kevin Reed, CEO of Singapore-based cybersecurity firm Acronis CISO, stated. Prior to Friday, we identified exploitation attempts in the single digits; but, during the weekend, we witnessed a 300-fold increase worldwide. It's difficult to identify which of those are targeted exploitations — they're unlikely to be traced at the time."

Candid Wuest, Acronis VP of Cyber Protection Research, compared the vulnerability to EternalBlue, which was used by WannaCry ransomware, and said that "the Log4shell vulnerability in Log4j is definitely in the top-5 most severe vulnerabilities of the last decade, one that allows for remote code execution (RCE)," and that it will take longer to patch because it is "not just one vulnerable software that can be updated, but rather a library that's included in many applications, resulting

He also predicted that the attacks will result in an increase in fresh data breaches. "Affected software such as VMWare, WebEx, and PulseSecure VPN might cause downtime and interruption while mitigations are implemented. Because the vulnerability has been exploited for days, security teams must investigate whether they have been infiltrated and whether attackers have installed any backdoors," he added.
