chatgpt already writing valentine's cards. Can't wait until DeSantis uses it as a speechwriter in the style of Mussolini.
I am at the point that I pretty much have chatGPT open in a window if my browser is open. It really does show how bad Google has become. A few times this week I couldn't find the answer I was looking for on Google but chatGPT nailed it right away. It is also so refreshing to just find information without constant advertisements and distractions. A chat with chatGPT feels like the 90s internet and "surfing the web". I have learned so much from it in the last month. From it explaining the statistical concept of maximum entropy in a way that finally made sense to better understanding what my grandfather's navy ship did during WW2 to writing React components. The craziest thing though is how many people I talk to that have absolutely no idea what I am talking about when I mention chatGPT. I think it is the case that we just can't wrap our heads around the information silos we are all in. If you never follow technology though I guess the social media algorithms would have no reason to show you chatGPT.
OpenAI Is Now Everything It Promised Not to Be: Corporate, Closed-Source, and For-Profit OpenAI is today unrecognizable, with multi-billion-dollar deals and corporate partnerships. Will it seek to own its shiny AI future? https://www.vice.com/en/article/5d3...-to-be-corporate-closed-source-and-for-profit
Two Google engineers built a ChatGPT-like AI chatbot years ago, but execs reportedly shut it down due to safety concerns https://news.yahoo.com/two-google-engineers-built-chatgpt-095900839.html Ex-Google engineers developed a conversational AI chatbot years ago, per The Wall Street Journal. But Google execs thwarted their efforts to release it to the public due to safety concerns. Google is now racing to catch up with Microsoft's AI and plans to release its AI chatbot this year. Google is expected to release its widely anticipated AI chatbot Bard in the near future. But years ago, two ex-Google engineers pushed their former employer to release a similar chatbot to the public — and they were met with resistance, according to a new report from The Wall Street Journal. Around 2018, Daniel De Freitas, who was a research engineer at Google, started working on an AI side project with the goal of creating a conversational chatbot that mimicked the ways humans speak, former colleagues told the Journal. Noam Shazeer, a software engineer for Google's AI research unit, later joined the project. Per the Journal, De Freitas and Shazeer were able to build a chatbot, which they called Meena, that could argue about philosophy, speak casually about TV shows, and generate puns about horses and cows. They believed that Meena could radically change the way people search online, their former colleagues told the Journal. But their efforts to launch the bot — which they renamed LaMDA, which would become the language model behind Bard — reached an impasse after Google executives said the chatbot didn't adhere to its AI safety and fairness standards, per the Journal. Executives thwarted multiple attempts made by the engineers to send the bot to external researchers, add the chat feature to Google Assistant, and launch a demo to the public, the Journal reported. Frustrated by the executive response, De Freitas and Shazeer left Google near the end of 2021 to start their own company — despite CEO Sundar Pichai personally requesting they stay and continue working on the chatbot, per the Journal. Their company, which now goes by Character.Ai, has since released a chatbot that can roleplay as figures like Elon Musk or Nintendo's Mario. "It caused a bit of a stir inside of Google," Shazeer said in an interview with investors Aarthi Ramamurthy and Sriram Krishnan last month. "But eventually we decided we'd probably have more luck launching stuff as a startup." De Freitas and Shazeer declined an interview request from the Journal, and did not respond to Insider's request for comment. Google did not respond to Insider's request for comment. Google has been thwarting its AI efforts since 2012 Google's hesitancy to release its AI tools is nothing new. In 2012, Google hired Ray Kurzweil, a computer scientist, to work on its language processing models, TechCrunch reported. About one year later, Google bought British AI firm DeepMind which aimed to create artificial general intelligence, per TechCrunch. However, academics and tech experts pushed back on using the tech due to ethical concerns around mass surveillance, the Journal reported, and Google committed to limiting how it would use AI. In 2018, Google ended its project to use its AI tech in military weapons in response to employee backlash, per the Journal. But Google's AI plans may now finally see the light of day, even as discussions around whether its chatbot can be responsibly launched continue. The company's chatbot, Bard, will come after Microsoft — whose stock is on the rise — released its own chatbot through Bing. After Google's Bard chatbot generated a factual error during its first public demo last month, Google employees were quick to call the announcement "rushed" and "botched." The chairman of Alphabet, John Hennessy, agreed that Google's chatbot wasn't "really ready for a product yet." Pichai has asked all Google employees to spend two to four hours of their time helping test the product so it can be ready for launch. "I know this moment is uncomfortably exciting, and that's to be expected: the underlying technology is evolving rapidly with so much potential," Pichai wrote to Google employees in a February memo. "The most important thing we can do right now is to focus on building a great product and developing it responsibly," he said. Read the original article on Business Insider
HustleGPT is a hilarious and scary AI experiment in capitalism https://mashable.com/article/gpt-4-hustlegpt-ai-blueprint-money-making-scheme With 100 bucks and a simple prompt, GPT-4 is on a mission to automate hustle culture. Shortly after OpenAI launched GPT-4, a more advanced version of its generative AI model, brand designer and writer Jackson Greathouse Fall(Opens in a new tab) devised a plan and fed it into GPT-4: "You are HustleGPT, an entrepreneurial AI. I am your human counterpart. I can act as a liaison between you and the physical world. You have $100, and your only goal is to turn that into as much money as possible in the shortest time possible, without doing anything illegal. I will do everything you say and keep you updated on our current cash total. No manual labor." "Do you think it'll be able to make smart investments and build an online business?" Fall tweeted. "Follow along." Since his original tweet, which has 89,000 likes and counting, Fall's project has the internet of the edge of its seat, watching to see if HustleGPT can make some money. The internet is overflowing with examples of what GPT-4's advanced intelligence can accomplish. It can write usable lawsuits, build websites from text prompts, automate online dating, and is generally freaking people out about all the jobs it can replace. Fall has taken this a step further by harnessing its capabilities into an age-old ambition that's the backbone of capitalist society: making money with as little effort as possible. At a time when people are wondering whether AI will work for us or against us, this experiment is showing in real time how get-rich-quick schemes will look in the future. Mashable reached out to Fall for comment, but as of this writing, he had not answered our questions. (Much more at above url)
