At the end of February, SpaceX launched 21 Starlink V2 Mini satellites into space – the new generation vehicles are smaller than their predecessors and, thanks to new data transmission technologies and improved antennas, provide significantly more bandwidth – 4 times more than the first generation Starlink. However, as it turned out, not everything is going smoothly with them: a short time after the launch, independent observers noted the unusual behavior of a number of these satellites – they moved along a strange trajectory.

Jonathan McDowell, a well-known astronomer and creator of the planet4589.org website, which collects all the statistics on Starlink satellites, spoke on this topic. “I think the height changes are significant. I think they are solving some problem with the new satellites and in a few weeks we will see if they resume the ascent into orbit“, he wrote on Twitter. Elon Musk answered him:There are a lot of new technologies in Starlink V2, so as expected, we had some issues. Some satellites will be de-orbited, others will be thoroughly tested before they rise to a height above the space station.“.

It turns out that for some of those 21 satellites there is no longer any salvation, SpaceX will destroy them by re-entering the earth’s atmosphere.

Microsoft developers are ready to restrict access to Bing search results for some companies that have used it to train AI bots without the permission of the corporation. They said that if the search is used in this capacity, access will be blocked.

The company believes that using search to train chatbots violates the agreement and reserves the right to terminate unilaterally. There have been no legal comments on this topic yet, but Microsoft itself has stated that there is communication with partners.

Currently, Bing search results can be used by DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, and You.com search engines. In doing so, the first system combines data from Bing and its own algorithms. And You.com and Neeva use the Microsoft system to save resources. Considering that most chatbots are trained on data from Bing or Google search, such a decision can negatively affect the speed of AI development.

Note that earlier the ChatGPT and Bing neural networks learned to spread gossip.
