"I've never seen any technology advance faster than this." The chip shortage may be behind us, but AI and EVs are expanding at such a rapacious rate that the world will face supply crunches in electricity and transformers next year, says Elon Musk.| New Atlas
This is no puny chatbot. AutoGPT is a stack of AIs, managed by other AIs. It goes and gets jobs done for you, figuring things out step by step and adjusting on the fly. It's an early, but janky glimpse at how autonomous AI will change your life.| New Atlas
OpenAI has allowed its stunning ChatGPT AI to reach out into the world with staggering new powers. It can now access the internet, run its own code to solve problems, accept and work on uploaded files, and write its own interfaces to third-party apps.| New Atlas
It can autonomously plan and execute thousand-step tasks. It can build and deploy entire software projects all by itself. It can research and fix bugs 7x better than OpenAI's GPT-4, and it trains and deploys its own custom AIs to solve problems.| New Atlas
Forget the collapse of employment, forget the spam and misinformation, forget human obsolescence and the upending of society. Some believe AI is flat-out going to wipe out all of biological life at its earliest opportunity. Here's how and why.| New Atlas
Stanford's Alpaca AI performs similarly to the astonishing ChatGPT on many tasks – but it's built on an open-source language model and cost less than US$600 to train up. It seems these godlike AIs are already frighteningly cheap and easy to replicate.| New Atlas
If you thought the last 20 years of progress were impressive, then strap in. GPT-4 is here, just months after ChatGPT. It's smarter, more accurate, and harder to fool. It now has an uncanny ability to interpret visuals, and maybe a thirst for power.| New Atlas
This year may well be remembered as the moment the world woke up to the power, the potential and the world-inverting threat of artificial intelligence. OpenAI's humble, free-to-use chatbot has made it clear: life will never be the same after ChatGPT.| New Atlas
There's a non-zero chance that human labor and intelligence could be surplus to requirements in the mid-to-near future. That would entail a seismic shift in the balance of power and the way societies and economies function. Let's discuss some ideas.| New Atlas
OpenAI's latest game-changing AI release has dropped. The new o1 model, now available in ChatGPT, now 'thinks' before it responds – and it's starting to crush both previous models and Ph.D-holding humans at solving expert-level problems.

ChatGPT is mediocre at diagnosing medical conditions, getting it right only 49% of the time, according to a new study. The researchers say their findings show that AI shouldn’t be the sole source of medical information and highlight the importance of maintaining the human element in healthcare.

Aeon – a major Japanese supermarket chain – has implemented a new AI system that evaluates and seeks to "standardize" employee smiles. Continue Reading Category:AI & Humanoids, Technology Tags:Facial Recognition, Artificial Intelligence, Japan| AI & Humanoids
Science fiction writer Isaac Asimov introduced the ‘Three Laws of Robotics’ in his 1942 short story, Runaround. The laws, paraphrased, are as follows. First Law: A robot may not harm a human or, through inaction, allow a human to be harmed. Second Law: A robot must obey the orders of a human except where the orders violate the First Law. Third Law: A robot must protect its own existence as long as that protection doesn’t violate the First or Second Laws. Continue Reading Category:AI & H...| AI & Humanoids
Writing comedy is hard. Humor is often subjective, so what you find funny, others may not. And comedy writers need to remember to include critical ingredients: timing, delivery, originality, and avoiding cliché. They are constantly walking the line between funny and unfunny.
