Apple iPhones, Macs, and Watches don't come cheap. They are the subject of a lot of hype and can sell anywhere from £250 to more than £7,000, but this is still pales in comparison to those older models. Despite the fact that the first generation iPhone was announced just 16 years ago, rare early models have been selling for up to $190,000 (£145,000) since they are still considered collectors' items. An unveiled 4GB first edition model, described as 'excessible' and collectors' 'holy grail,' was sold for more than $300 (£457) last week. So what other Apple products have sold for vast amounts?

CEO fires 90% of support staff and replaces it with AI chatbot saying it was 'tough but necessary'

www.dailymail.co.uk, July 13, 2023
The CEO of an Indian tech startup has laid off 90 percent of the company's support staff in favour of a chatbot powered by artificial intelligence. According to Suumit Shah, founder and CEO of Bangalore-based e-commerce company Dukaan, the not, which was developed by one of the firm's data scientists, could respond instantly, as opposed to staff who were only responding to initial queries in one minute and 44 seconds.

His company's move is just the first step in the global shift toward AI, which has resulted in the loss of thousands of jobs.

www.dailymail.co.uk, May 14, 2023
There have been a slew of Hollywood movies about how our world might have ended from Armageddon to the Day After Tomorrow. But if there is to be a global apocalypse, what might be to blame for wiping out all life on Earth? A wandering black hole, massive asteroid strike, and nuclear war may all lead to such disaster, as could the emergence of killer robots, a large solar flare, or the reversal of our planet's magnetic field. So how exactly would these devastating possibilities come about? MailOnline takes a look at how MailOnline takes a look at it.

Because 'poor actors' will use the technology,' Steve Wozniak warns that AI will make scams more difficult to detect

www.dailymail.co.uk, May 9, 2023
Steve Wozniak, the Apple co-founder, has warned that Artificial Intelligence (AI) will make scams more difficult to detect because 'poor actors' would use the technology to trick people about their identities. As he warned of the dangers of the technology, Wozniak said that AI content must be clearly identified and coded for the sector. Bad actors will become even more convincing, according to him, because chat applications like ChatGPT can produce messages that'sound so intelligent.' Wozniak's warning came after Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said he does not believe that work on the new technology should be suspended.

Godfather of AI resigns from Google and is filled with regret

www.dailymail.co.uk, May 1, 2023
Geoffrey Hinton, 75, a resident of Toronto, Canada, is credited with the invention of A.I.'s bedrock. ChatGPT and Google Bard are two popular chat applications. However, the top scientist claims that a part of him now regrets ever building the devices. He is concerned that the systems would encourage further misinformation and may force the disabling of more misinformation, and that employees could be asked to leave. His fear was that 'drudge' jobs as well as those that are administrative, personal assistants, and translators were among the many professions at risk. He also revealed that he has to tell himself excuses like "If I didn't build it, someone else will have."

SARAH VINE: Why are ministers invading our phones with a tiresome emergency alert?

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 18, 2023
SARAH VINE: This Sunday (today), just as many of us are winding down for a post-prandial nap, the government intends to rattle our collective cages by invading our cellphones and our privacy with its bizarre emergency test signal. The tale is remarkably reminiscent of those sirens in 1960s Cold War movies, where the hero eventually claws his way out of the gulag with a toothpick, but it is not until the hero is captured and strung up by his toes that it is frightening. Tiresome because you can't opt out of the damn thing - well, not unless you disable the alert or turn off your phone - and because 3 p.m. on Sunday is about the only time any of us can relax these days.

The best way to avoid AI being a plumber, electrician, and gardener is to prevent AI from taking your job

Many white-collar professionals who had been assured that their special skills were irreplaceable are in greater danger, according to Astronomer Royal Lord Rees (pictured), with doctors and computer programmers among those who are threatened by AI application ChatGPT. Accountants can no longer be able to access balance sheets by using the bot, which can also view balance sheets, and physicians may be working with more sophisticated AI that can analyze medical scans. However, skilled blue-collar employees could have the last laugh in a future work market dominated by AI. Lord Rees, a respected academic and former president of the Royal Society, has warned that ChatGPT could jeopardize our way of life.

ChatGPT, the chatbot powered by artificial intelligence (AI), has opened the world's eyes to how far the technology behind it has advanced. ChatGPT has been used to pass exams, preach a sermon, write apps, and give relationship advice since it was announced to the public in November. Many, including Bill Gates and Google CEO Sundar Pichai, see AI as the'most important' innovation of our time,' saying it can address climate change, cancer, and increased productivity. But others are concerned about it's progress, with Elon Musk, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, and late Stephen Hawking's belief that it poses a 'profound danger to society and humanity.'

AI is in a contest for some of the world's top minds. Many against it warn that the technology will end humanity, while those for AI predict that it will improve our lives. Elon Musk, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, and late Stephen Hawking are among AI's most prominent commentators, who believe the system poses a 'profound danger to society and humanity' and could have'catastrophic' consequences. And it could even outshine human intelligence by 2045. Bill Gates, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, and futuristic Ray Kurzweil are on the other side of the aisle, with ChatGPT-like AI lauding the'most important' breakthrough of our time - saying it can combat climate change, cure cancer, and boost productivity.

Could AI destroy humanity?Experts warn of 'catastrophic consequences'

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 29, 2023
If machines are allowed to become more intelligent, and so more powerful, than humans, the fundamental question of who will be in control - us or them? This will keep us all up at night. In an open letter signed this week by Elon Musk, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, and other tech world experts, these concerns were clearly expressed. The suspension was suspended for at least six months of AI research. As the Mail warns today, not even AI's developers should know, predict, or accurately control a technology that could pose significant dangers to society and humanity.' Even Sam Altman, the manager of ChatGPT's developer, OpenAI, has warned of the dangers that the technology can cause. We've got to be cautious,' Altman says, although he admits that his ultimate aim is to develop a self-aware robot with human-level intelligence.
