MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – If you live in the Philippines and you own an Apple, Galaxy, Samsung or Xioami smart phone with dual SIM, be prepared to surrender it to the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT).
DICT is looking to limit SIMs to one per person, in order to decongest precious communications network space in the country.
In addition, the agency said the move will also minimize the use of smart phones in the commission of crime.
In order to help phone owners, DICT is asking phone manufacturers and dealers to replace double SIM units with a single SIM model — for free.
DICT says it will use its existing database to track SIM ownership among Filipinos. It will be recalled that a law is in place for the mandatory registration of SIM cards.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Move over, ChatGPT, here comes ChotGPT!
A leading Philippine-based tech company has launched a new AI (Artificial Intelligence) app to honor the achievements of Gilas Pilipinas coach, Chot Reyes.
The new chatbot uses natural language processing to create humanlike conversational dialogue. The language model can respond to questions and compose various written content, including articles, social media posts, essays, code and emails.
The launch of ChotGPT came on the heels of the Philippine team’s defeat in its matches with Dominican Republic and Angola in the FIBA World Cup.
A special feature of the new app is its capability to give sound advice to basketball coaches in the Philippines and worldwide, including the coaches of the remaining teams in FIBA now being held in the country. The advice has been pre-loaded on the app courtesy of Reyes himself.
