A woman identified as an employee of Enloe Health, a health system in Chico, California, posted a video of herself harassing a Target worker for wearing a shirt in support of Turning Point USA founder and free speech martyr Charlie Kirk. Enloe Health responded to incident confirming the woman is their employee and stating it is "deeply concerned about the tenor of this post." Well wishers have since raised more than $100,000 on behalf of the Target worker in the video. The post Watch: Enloe Health Employee Harasses Target Worker for Supporting Charlie Kirk appeared first on Breitbart.

21 h. ago AI gets a private tutor for learning human preferences more accurately

No matter how much data they learn, why do artificial intelligence (AI) models often miss the mark on human intent? Conventional comparison learning, designed to help AI understand human preferences, has frequently led to confusion rather than clarity. A KAIST research team has now presented a new learning solution that allows AI to accurately learn human preferences even with limited data by assigning it a "private tutor."
