About FeedsPress

Editor — Thu, 16 Mar 2023 13:58:52 +0000

FeedsPress is a powerful WordPress plugin designed to display XML feeds using shortcodes on any post or page of your website. With our plugin, you can easily add dynamic, up-to-date content to your site and keep your visitors engaged and informed.

The backend was built with Earnware 3.0 design standards, ensuring a sleek and intuitive user experience. FeedsPress comes with 9 default templates to choose from, and you can also create your own custom templates to match any site’s style and branding.

One of the unique features of FeedsPress is its support for adding featured images inside XML feeds. By default, WordPress does not include featured images in feeds, but with FeedsPress, you can easily modify the feed output to include these eye-catching visuals. This can be a great way to provide a more engaging user experience and promote content.

Another powerful feature of FeedsPress is its ability to add HTML attachments to existing feeds. These attachments will show up on the feed source XML page and on the destination feed, making it easy to include additional content or calls-to-action alongside your feed content.

Whether you’re a blogger, content creator, or business owner, FeedsPress makes it easy to display dynamic and engaging content on your WordPress site.

Overriding {local_link} or {permalink} template parameters

Editor — Thu, 14 May 2020 00:24:31 +0000

If your template has the links wrapped in {permalink}, to change them to a local link use the change_to_local_link=”true” parameter (see Examples below).
Note: Please also add the wrap_image_with_link=”true” parameter to link the images as well
If your template has the links wrapped in {local_link}, to change them to a permalink use the change_to_permalink=”true” parameter (see Examples below).
Note: Please also add the wrap_image_with_link=”true” parameter to link the images as well
- In this case also please set up the same template on both article_detail_template=”” and template=”” parameters, so it wouldn’t cache that page with a detail page. Otherwise it will show both the article_detail_template feed. Also make sure to add ignore_filter=”true” as the feed items get filtered with the current item that you’re trying to view. In order to stop the filter you’ll need to set it to true.

See all FeedsPress parameters here.
Examples

Changing {{permalink}} to local links with change_to_local_link=”true”, wrap_image_with_link=”true”, ignore_filter=”true” parameters.

Former OpenAI researcher and whistleblower Suchir Balaji’s death sparks debate on AI ethics and corporate responsibility.

At a Glance

Suchir Balaji, 26, was found dead in his San Francisco apartment, with authorities ruling it a suicide.
Balaji had publicly criticized OpenAI’s data-gathering practices, alleging copyright violations in developing ChatGPT.
His death has intensified discussions on AI ethics, corporate responsibility, and the psychological toll on tech whistleblowers.
OpenAI maintains its models are trained on publicly available data and adhere to fair use principles.
The incident has fueled ongoing legal battles between OpenAI and publishers, including authors like John Grisham.

Whistleblower’s Allegations and Tragic End

The tech industry is grappling with the untimely death of Suchir Balaji, a former OpenAI researcher who became a vocal critic of the company’s practices. Balaji, a 26-year-old native of Cupertino, California, was found dead in his San Francisco apartment, with authorities ruling the death a suicide. This tragic event has sent shockwaves through the AI community and beyond, raising pressing questions about the ethical challenges facing the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence.

Balaji had recently made headlines for his public criticism of OpenAI, the company behind the popular ChatGPT model. He alleged that the organization’s data-gathering practices violated U.S. copyright law, a claim that has added fuel to ongoing legal battles between OpenAI and various publishers and authors.

The Ethical Dilemma at the Heart of AI Development

At the core of Balaji’s allegations was the contention that OpenAI’s use of copyrighted material in training its AI models was both illegal and detrimental to the internet as a whole. “If you believe what I believe, you have to just leave the company,” said Balaji. This stance put him at odds with his former employer and highlighted a growing concern within the tech industry about the ethical implications of AI development.

OpenAI has consistently maintained that its models are “trained on publicly available data” and adhere to fair use principles. However, the company now faces lawsuits from U.S. and Canadian news publishers and authors, including John Grisham, alleging illegal use of their work in training AI software.

The Human Cost of Tech Whistleblowing

Balaji’s death has brought to the forefront the psychological toll that whistleblowing can take on individuals, specifically in the tech industry. His journey from an enthusiastic AI researcher to a disillusioned whistleblower underscores the personal and professional challenges faced by those who choose to speak out against perceived ethical violations in their field.

The tech community is now grappling with how to balance the need for innovation with ethical considerations and the well-being of its workforce. Balaji’s story serves as a stark reminder of the human element often overlooked in the race for technological advancement.

A Call for Transparency and Accountability

In the wake of this tragedy, there are growing calls for increased transparency and accountability in AI development practices. Industry experts and ethicists are urging tech companies to be more forthcoming about their data sources and to implement stricter guidelines for the use of copyrighted material.

The incident has also sparked discussions about the need for better protections and support systems for tech workers who find themselves at odds with their employers over ethical issues. As the AI industry continues to evolve, finding ways to protect and support whistleblowers may become increasingly crucial.

Balaji’s legacy emphasizes the importance of ethical innovation in the tech industry. His passing serves as a somber reminder of the real-world implications of the decisions made in AI development and the ongoing need for a thoughtful approach to technological progress that considers both legal and moral obligations.
