would mean for competitors and for entire industries. also on our show, portia is one of the companies behind a new facility in chile, turning wind energy into synthetic fuel. welcome to the show. british airports are warning of passenger delays as security staff walk off the job today. the thousands of u. k. workers are now staging multiple strikes as the cost of living crisis. and the lack of workers in the public sector continue to bite nurses, ambulance staff, highway workers, rail and postal workers. even customs officials and bus drivers are all striking this week alone. being referred to as the winter of discontent workers won't pay increases to match rising prices. that's the demand at westminster so far isn't prepared to meet the country's biggest wave of strikes in decades. hillary income is an economist at lancaster university and she joins me now for
3:46 pm
more. hillary good. have you on the show? i'm most bridge right now or seems like many brits are experiencing this sudden crunch in their real wages as prices rise. do they have support from what you see or do they support? i should say, what they're seeing from these striking workers because back because they know the pay themselves well, everybody is affected by this cost of living crisis, united not just the u. k either. but in the u. k, you know, we've got inflation and double digit just the other side of 10 percent. and yet the pay increase is people are being afforded, you know, are 5 percent or less. so on average, the nurse is i think about 4.75 percent. now in terms of what the public fail, if you actually look at the nurses strike, they are actually very supportive of them. because of course, these are a group of people that worked all the way through the pandemic. many actually lost their lives. and we know there are sure to get that over work. and it's about 2
3:47 pm
thirds of the public actually support them. that is not true for all the other groups are walking out. who are you just saw on this cost of living right now is a crisis, not just new k, but across much of europe. to what extent is what we're seeing in the u. k. though, to what extent does it have its own distinct elements that are separate from what we're seeing in europe? well, i mean, i think the, the overall input is a very similar. i mean, a lot of this inflation is it's sort of global. it's caused by the energy markets and everybody is suffering, but we don't same in the u. k. to be able to come to some agreement between government and you know, public sector workers over what pay is actually affordable. all the, what the government is willing to advance on a, it seems that, you know, protecting with the nurse is the house secretary is being quite entranced and he says he's willing to negotiate over conditions. but there's no indication that he's going to negotiate other significant pay increases. i mean,
3:48 pm
what we read in the pipe has today is that he might be willing to bring next year's pay increase forward. are now whether that will be acceptable to the nurses union. is another matter. critics say the recent governments have not invested enough in the health care system in the u. k. and in general and infrastructure, do you subscribe to that view as well? one thing, if you look at the money that's gone into the and i just mean vast amounts of money have gone into the nature, but it doesn't seem to deliver what people want. even before the strikes, you know, we've had tiles of waiting lists have been getting longer and longer and longer. you know, you have to wait hours and hours for an ambulance and then sometimes ambulance is here in polite 12 hours to actually discharge patients. i get the much admitted into a hospital so they can go on my next job. so i think you need to look at the overall system here. and i mean, one of the things that people have sent for many,
3:49 pm
many years is that there's no actual link between health and social care. so the problem is you've got people actually blocking up hospital beds on the copay discharged into a sort of residential setting that might be going back home or in a care home but, but that is not happening. so i think you need to look at the whole house and social care package, not just that one element of it. hillary ingram at lancaster university. thank you very much. thank you. g p t is a type of artificial intelligence model developed by open a i is a deep learning model that is designed to generate human like text allowing it to perform a wide range of language tasks. now i didn't write that, that's how the popular ai chat about g p t chat describes itself. let's take a look at another question that we've asked the bought. what's capital germany? that would seem to be an easy one. there it gets the answer, right?
3:50 pm
but then it keeps going. all right. how about another was the best classic rock then that's of course, subjective and as you see, the bought also says the same thing as a very subjective question. what about something more specific? most interesting thing about eagles, for example. and now we see there's a very long list of really interesting facts from binocular vision to how they catch and kill prey. good enough, it seems for your next school project will chat g p t isn't just a fun tool. it's popular as well, in just a few days, the website has more than a 1000000 users, all in all of them having created a log in. and that's a bit of pressure for the google's of the world. then there's the bigger question is a i closer to being able to do my job or even your job. i'm joined now by nicole brutner. she's co founder and ceo of miranda x lab. that's a tech consulting firm here in berlin with a focus on ai nicole. it's good to have you on the show this,
3:51 pm
this chat but seems to have very normal sounding answers. where is it really good and where does it actually struggle? i'm good morning. yeah, i think it's, it's really solving and engineers dream of having natural in that natural language is an input and output. so you don't have to have key words or code, but it's a very seamless interaction. i think that's also have proof what you're just saying that a lot of people have been using this interface. i think it is pushing us and with regards to intelligence, right, what do we see as intelligence? as you said, generating text? is that what we see as intelligence or not? and but i think on the, on the counter side, the limitations are still factual correctness for example. so this model is not able to solve the problem of factual correctness to quote, also completely false information. if there's one example we have here, one question that fools that is which mammals lay the biggest eggs, it gives the answer of the elephant. so obviously there's some mistakes there. i
3:52 pm
want to ask you a new report in new york times says that this, this bought is setting off alarm bells at google and other tech firms that are maybe been developing their own chat box, but haven't yet rolled them out. should we expect now to see a wave of these? i think generative a i is, is now really hitting the hype cycle. so yes, i expect that there will be many startups, but also bigger tech companies rolling these out. i think what i personally find very interesting because we're looking also at industrial adoption. so for and deep industry use cases, right. this will, i think take a lot longer because the data that is needed to generate applications in that field is basically behind walls, right? in the industrial real, some are sitting in the company, so i think, yes, we'll see more with publicly available data like catchy p t. but in the industrial real i think that will take longer. okay, so this means that businesses and workers shouldn't, i should say worker shouldn't be too afraid yet businesses shouldn't get too
3:53 pm
excited yet. or is there an immediate application that, that businesses can see in this? i think, i think actually 2 thoughts. one is robotics and manual labor have been i think a lot safer in that regard because robotics is moving a lot slower than we had anticipated. so there will be a lot of blue color on jobs and frontline workshops that will be much harder to replace by any such models. however, you were asking the question about journalism, right? or generating text i think will be very different, right? so i don't think journalists will be obsolete because factual correctness is important and also generating truly original ideas will remain important in the future. but for sure, there will be many questions that summarizing text like writing minutes, right? that could be done by this, that this application cobra, with tech consulting firm or ethics labs. thank you very much. thank you. good to know. so i have a job
3:54 pm
a little bit now to some of the other global business stories making headlines. f t x founder sam bank min fried has been released on a $250000000.00 bill. as his case moves forward in the u. s. prosecutor say he's behind one of the biggest financial frauds in american history, alleging he misused millions of dollars, banking free face, decades in prison. if convicted spain's economy barely grew in the summer. that's according to the country's statistics office. from july to september g, p expanded only a 10th of a percent. the spanish economy is only expected to recover to prepare demik levels and the 2nd half of 2023. ilan must has said that he probably will not sell any test. tesla stock for 2 years. his pledge, if you want to call that, came out there. tesla dog point 9 percent on thursday. investors are concerned about the deep $7500.00 discounts. the electric car maker has started to offer the buyers in the us or can european cars be fueled with to

lay in wind energy, a car maker, portia think so. with a group of other businesses, it's inaugurated the haro only pilot plant. in the very south of chile, it converts wind energy into green hydrogen, and then into a synthetic fuel with 09 carbon emissions. take a look through 0, one 0, chill a wants to show the world how it's done, generate and green hydrogen, and converting that into petrol is nothing new. but this pilot program on the southern tip of the country is the world's 1st commercial plant. on an industrial scale oil company exxon. together with siemens and portia built the facility. the goal is eventually to have plants like these export in carbon neutral fuels across the world. for use in cars and even aircraft and ships using guns can also put in see always a great potential in the production of e fuel. there are 1300000000 internal combustion engine vehicles on the road, and
3:56 pm
a sustainably produced fuel can immediately contribute to de carbon is ation. so thoughts with a cub when you seattle by thought wind energy will power the hydrolysis process that makes green hydrogen? this is combined with carbon captured out of the air to make methanol that's converted into petrol to fuel vehicles without any special equipment needed. the carbon is released into the atmosphere when the petrol is burnt. it doesn't add new carpet to the atmosphere, but it isn't carbon free like some fuels. but proponent, say it's an important step before we can generate carbon free fuels efficiently. chill, i may have it sites on the export market, but some environmentalists believe the country should focus on home 1st. an oil lot renewable energy is the foundation of the global energy transition. it's scarce and precious all over the world. chili's own energy needs are still mainly covered from fossil sources. the renewable electricity is needed there for ot cobalt. the higher
