Gemma to decode dolphin vocalizations with hopes
of enabling humans to communicate back. Set for
an open -source release this summer, Dolphin
Gemma is based on decades of research from the
Wild Dolphin Project, which has gathered extensive
audio and video data from Atlantic, spotted dolphins
in the Bahamas. This model identifies patterns
in dolphin sounds, potentially revealing insights
beyond human perception. Additionally, researchers
are developing a device named CHAT, which will
help dolphins learn to mimic sounds associated
with specific objects. However, the debate continues
over whether animal communication constitutes
true language. In business news, OpenAI's chief
executive officer, Sam Allman, revealed that
the company's electricity costs have surged tens
of millions of dollars due to users being polite
to chat GPT. A recent survey indicated that 67
% of individuals in the United States use polite
language with AI, with some citing concerns over
a potential AI uprising. However, politeness
comes with an energy cost. A report found that

study this vast layer. They extracted a core
