Python mega cheat chart – intermediate course
Intermediate Python Programming Course
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGOBQPFzWKo&feature=youtu.beUntil version 3.13 (https://www.pixelsham.com/2024/08/13/gil-to-become-optional-in-python-3-13/), Python is multiprocessing but not multi-threaded, due to its native memory management limitations.
When multiple threads are engaged, there is no protection to memory access and racing conditions occurs.You can work around this by using Jython or IronPython.
Or by using Python as a wrapper to call to c/c++ native code, same as numpy or scipy do.

AI and the Law – This Vox article is OpenAI training data – How AI is holding the internet hostage and media is no exception
- Pros of AI Chatbots:
- Efficiency and Accessibility: AI chatbots can handle a large volume of queries simultaneously, providing quick and consistent responses, which is beneficial for customer service and support.
- 24/7 Availability: Unlike human operators, chatbots are available around the clock, ensuring that users can get assistance at any time.
- Cost-Effective: Implementing chatbots can reduce operational costs for businesses by minimizing the need for large customer service teams.
- Personalization and Scalability: Advanced AI can offer personalized responses and scale effortlessly to meet demand.
- Cons of AI Chatbots:
- Bias and Misinformation: AI chatbots can inadvertently propagate biases present in their training data, leading to inaccurate or offensive responses.
- Lack of Human Touch: Chatbots may struggle to understand and respond appropriately to nuanced human emotions and complex queries, potentially frustrating users.
- Technical Limitations: While AI is advancing, chatbots can still make errors and provide incorrect information, which can undermine user trust.
- Environmental Impact: Training and running large AI models consume significant energy, contributing to carbon emissions and environmental concerns.
The deployment of AI chatbots raises significant ethical concerns. Biases in training data can lead to the generation of skewed or harmful content, posing risks to users and undermining trust in AI systems. Additionally, the potential misuse of AI chatbots for spreading misinformation and the environmental impact of training large AI models are critical issues that require attention.
The trajectory of AI chatbot development points towards increasingly sophisticated and generalized AI capabilities. As research progresses towards Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), the potential applications of AI chatbots are expected to expand further, encompassing more complex and nuanced tasks. However, achieving AGI will require addressing current ethical and technical challenges to ensure the responsible development and deployment of AI technologies.
