Apple Vision Pro and Why the Goovis G3 Max May Be Better Like many of you, I was fascinated with the Apple Vision Pro head-mounted display when it was  announced , but, as luck would have it, I had already ordered the  Goovis G3 Max  at Indiegogo. I’ve been using it for several weeks now. It is awesome for what it does and pretty much does what Tim Cook demonstrated on stage for the Vision Pro. The enormous difference is that the Vision Pro lists for $3,499 while the G3 Max is only $869 on sale against a $1,299 list price. As an early buyer, I got mine for under $800, which was one heck of a deal. Let’s talk about my experience with the Goovis G3 Max and how it might compare to the Apple Vision Pro when it arrives. We’ll close with my Product of the Week, a headset that might be just what the doctor ordered for your desktop video conferencing needs. Apple Vision Pro Apple presented the Vision Pro as a pro-level product with all the technology built into the device. It’s f...

A New Attack Impacts Major AI Chatbots—and No One Knows How to Stop It

CHATGPT AND ITS  artificially intelligent siblings have been tweaked over and over to prevent troublemakers from getting them to spit out undesirable messages such as hate speech, personal information, or step-by-step instructions for building an improvised bomb. But researchers at Carnegie Mellon University last week  showed  that adding a simple incantation to a prompt—a string text that might look like gobbledygook to you or me but which carries subtle significance to an AI model trained on huge quantities of web data—can defy all of these defenses in several popular chatbots at once. The work suggests that the propensity for the cleverest AI chatbots to go off the rails isn’t just a quirk that can be papered over with a few simple rules. Instead, it represents a more fundamental weakness that will complicate efforts to deploy the most advanced AI. “There's no way that we know of to patch this,” says  Zico Kolter , an associate professor at CMU involved in the stu...
