Meanwhile, in Japan, train stations are being 3D-printed in an afternoon

Quote:We understand the formwork, used to mold concrete sections, was the component actually 3D printed using mortar. These were then filled with concrete and steel reinforcement to create the four parts of the building and its foundations, which were transported to the site and assembled.

And, of course, the couldn't resist the "Platform-as-a-Service" joke.

Why some are concerned over ChatGPT’s new Studio Ghibli-style images
Quote:Weigensberg said it’s unclear if this ChatGPT model was trained using Studio Ghibli’s work and, if so, whether OpenAI had a licence or permission to do so.
Quote:CBC Kids News reached out to Ghibli founder Hayao Miyazaki to hear his thoughts on the new ChatGPT model, but we have not heard back.
