I suspect we're not far off from having a dedicated 'sheriff' APU on consumer electronics. A lightweight language model might stand sentry, watching for odd code or activity while the user goes about his business.

Apple products have T2 chips inbuilt for handling biometrics and the neural engine to handle AI workloads. Perhaps the Macbook Pro 2026 will come with a dedicated System Security chip.

AutoGPT which is probably helped by electric vehicles hence the cheesy name and its primitive AGI are also quite the impressive stuff. Yep... almost every tech it seems in 1st gen at least powers something so the cars with AutoGPT is nice touch. Probably a cool name as well for Augmented Reality and VR stuff too for example.

Google is planning a new AI-powered search engine to compete with ChatGPT and Bing, the NYT reported.
The company also is adding new features like increased personalization to its current platform.
The company has been in a state of widespread "panic," per an internal email reviewed by the Times.


Google is scrambling to release a new search engine as the artificial intelligence arms race continues to heat up, according to a report Sunday from the New York Times.

The tech giant is in the process of creating an AI-powered search engine, as well as updating technology within its existing platform, after hearing that Samsung could make Microsoft Bing the default program on its devices, per the Times.

TruthGPT sounds oddly similar to Truth Social. Am I to assume then, that this particular A.I. will be completely unfiltered? Given Musk's so called "fear" of A.I. development though, you'd think he'd work on developing the most ethically trained model there is.

I'd truly like to believe that it will be a scientifically inclined model which masters the scientific method to greatly enhance our understanding of the universe. It's just difficult to believe with how Musk tends to be these days, but I hope that I'm proven wrong.

Adobe Promises Easier Video and Audio Editing With Firefly AI
Adobe is expanding its new Firefly AI to include more video and audio features before it's even released.

Adobe is diving head first into the world of generative AI—it's certainly not alone, with companies like Google, Microsoft, and Facebook also hopping on the artificial intelligence hype train. However, Adobe is moving at a breakneck pace. After announcing its Firefly generative AI editing tools several weeks ago, Adobe is already preparing for a significant expansion of Firefly's capabilities. The new features focus on Adobe's audio and video applications, and it promises you can use its AI without fear of copyright infringement.

Somehow I doubt the "truth" it's supposed to seek out will be anything but - I suspect it will be trained to support/confirm Elon's conservative bias.

Snapchat’s AI chatbot is now free for all global users, says the AI will later ‘Snap’ you back

Snapchat’s AI chatbot is now opening up to a global audience, the company announced today at its Snap Partner Summit. Initially launched in February, the feature originally allowed Snapchat’s paid subscribers to chat with an AI chatbot powered by OpenAI’s GPT technology directly in its app. Now it will be available for free. To date, users have sent nearly 2 million messages per day using the chatbot, Snap noted. With today’s global expansion, the feature is also being upgraded with new functionality, including the ability to add My AI to group chats, get recommendations for places on Snap Map and Lenses, and share Snaps with My AI and receive chat replies.

Later, My AI will be able to respond with unique “generative” Snaps back, instead of just chat replies, the company also said, to keep the visual conversation going.

I just want to say great job to Future Timeline for predicting ChatGPT and similar AI before they existed.

https://www.futuretimeline.net/21stcent ... 1.htm#web4

Semantic analysing programs, having evolved into stronger AI, now perform a huge range of automated tasks for business, government and consumers. Running on massively parallel networks, these applications hunt for textual and visual data – combining the most subtle capabilities of humans (such as pattern recognition) with ways in which machines are already vastly superior (such as speed and memory).

In addition to serving as highly advanced search engines, they are playing a major function in the real world – gathering information from the array of sensors, cameras and other tracking devices now present in the environment, on vehicles, and even on people themselves.

This website is very accurate when it comes to future predictions.

Google’s Bard AI chatbot can now help you code and create functions for Google Sheets / Bard can now generate code, debug existing code, and help explain lines of code.

Google is updating its Bard AI chatbot to help developers write and debug code. Rivals like ChatGPT and Bing AI have supported code generation, but Google says it has been “one of the top requests” it has received since opening up access to Bard last month.

Bard can now generate code, debug existing code, help explain lines of code, and even write functions for Google Sheets. “We’re launching these capabilities in more than 20 programming languages including C++, Go, Java, Javascript, Python and Typescript,” explains Paige Bailey, group product manager for Google Research, in a blog post.

You can ask Bard to explain code snippets or explain code within GitHub repos similar to how Microsoft-owned GitHub is implementing a ChatGPT-like assistant with Copilot. Bard will also debug code that you supply or even its own code if it made some errors or the output wasn’t what you were looking for.

Opinion letter from Ray Kurzweil on request for 6 month delay on large language models that go beyond GPT-4

April 22, 2023
by Ray Kurzweil

Regarding the Open Letter to “pause” research on AI “more powerful than GPT-4,” this criterion is too vague to be practical. And the proposal faces a serious coordination problem: those that agree to a pause may fall far behind corporations or nations that disagree. There are tremendous benefits to advancing AI in critical fields such as medicine and health, education, pursuit of renewable energy sources to replace fossil fuels, and scores of other fields. I didn’t sign, because I believe we can address the signers’ safety concerns in a more tailored way that doesn’t compromise these vital lines of research.

I participated in the Asilomar AI Principles Conference in 2017 and was actively involved in the creation of guidelines to create Artificial Intelligence in an ethical manner. So I know that safety is a critical issue. But more nuance is needed if we wish to unlock AI’s profound advantages to health and productivity while avoiding the real perils.

‘The Godfather of A.I.’ Leaves Google and Warns of Danger Ahead
For half a century, Geoffrey Hinton nurtured the technology at the heart of chatbots like ChatGPT. Now he worries it will cause serious harm.

(NYT)

Geoffrey Hinton was an artificial intelligence pioneer. In 2012, Dr. Hinton and two of his graduate students at the University of Toronto created technology that became the intellectual foundation for the A.I. systems that the tech industry’s biggest companies believe is a key to their future.

On Monday, however, he officially joined a growing chorus of critics who say those companies are racing toward danger with their aggressive campaign to create products based on generative artificial intelligence, the technology that powers popular chatbots like ChatGPT.

Dr. Hinton said he has quit his job at Google, where he has worked for more than decade and became one of the most respected voices in the field, so he can freely speak out about the risks of A.I. A part of him, he said, now regrets his life’s work.

“I console myself with the normal excuse: If I hadn’t done it, somebody else would have,” Dr. Hinton said during a lengthy interview last week in the dining room of his home in Toronto, a short walk from where he and his students made their breakthrough.

Right now there are two publicly voted on AGI countdowns with very different expected AGI dates what one is more accurate and why?

The question on my mind is can AGI stop the social collapse of this country into religious fundism from hell. We literally have two choices at this point in history. 1. AGI takes control and these idiots are left in the dust by it literally forcing them by the hairs of their ass to advance or 2. The idiots win out and literally ban a.i and take us back to the fucking stone age like that episode of sliders that banned tech and everyone became super religious.

There seems to be a tug of war going on in countries like America between super backwards people and god knows what.
