Another Horse Euthanized at Preakness Stakes, Betting Dropped Compared to 2022

This year’s Preakness Stakes were beyond dramatic and emotional. Shortly after four horses died at the Kentucky Derby, another one was euthanized at Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore. The horse who died was owned by Bob Baffert, a Hall of Fame trainer, who just got back after the suspension. Another one of his horses won the championship.

Dramatic course of events:

Baffert was very emotional while commenting on the win of his horse. Almost in tears, he said: “This business is twists and turns, ups and downs. To win this — losing that horse today really hurt. … It’s been a very emotional day.”

A Chatbot from the 1960s has thoroughly beaten OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 in a Turing test, because people thought it was just ‘too bad’ to be an actual AI-

A small research group recently examined the performance of 25 AI “people”, using two large language models created by OpenAI, in an online Turing test. None of the AI bots ultimately passed the test, but all the GPT 3.5 ones did so badly that a chatbot from the mid-1960s was nearly twice as successful as passing itself off as a human—although that’s mostly because people thought the older chatbot was too bad at pretending to be human to be AI.

News of the work was reported by Ars Technica and it’s a fascinating story. The Turing test itself was first devised by famed mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing in the 1950s. The original version of the test involves having a real person, called an evaluator, talk to two other participants via a text-based discussion. Th…
