A volunteer has created a machine-learning tool to assist NASA's Space Cloud Watch project in identifying rare cloud formations. This tool aims to help scientists understand changes in cloud behavior, such as increased frequency and lower altitudes, which may indicate shifts in long-term weather patterns. Separately, OpenAI has stated that its ChatGPT page-fetching bot might not adhere to robots.txt directives, as it operates under the premise that a human user requested the page. AI
