Spork Pit Barbecue’s second run taking over the former Double Wide Grill on East Carson Street is set to end early next week.

Steve Zumoff, a long-time restaurant operator on the South Side and owner of the property and partner in the restaurant, announced on a Development Activities Meeting Zoom hosted by the South Side Community Council that the restaurant is scheduled to close on Tuesday.

Zumoff updated the community on some basic renovation plans, including new pavers for the patio and the plan to establish a lighted outline of a cow as a new sign as he works to establish a new barbecue restaurant as a tenant in the property, a former automotive service station at the corner of 24th and East Carson Street.

This Week in AI: Can we (and could we ever) trust OpenAI?
This week in AI, OpenAI launched discounted plans for nonprofits and education customers and drew back the curtains on its most recent efforts to stop bad actors from abusing its AI tools. OpenAI removed one of the voices used by its AI-powered chatbot ChatGPT after users pointed out that it sounded eerily similar to Johansson's. Johansson later released a statement saying that she hired legal counsel to inquire about the voice and get exact details about how it was developed -- and that she'd refused repeated entreaties from OpenAI to license her voice for ChatGPT. Now, a piece in The Washington Post implies that OpenAI didn't in fact seek to clone Johansson's voice and that any similarities were accidental.

Data is at the heart of today's advanced AI systems, but it's costing more and more -- making it out of reach for all but the wealthiest tech companies. Last year, James Betker, a researcher at OpenAI, penned a post on his personal blog about the nature of generative AI models and the datasets on which they're trained. In it, Betker claimed that training data -- not a model's design, architecture or any other characteristic -- was the key to increasingly sophisticated, capable AI systems.
