Tech news

👉 Watermarking ChatGPT, DALL-Eand other generative AIs could help protect against fraud and misinformation. “These watermarks can be baked into the generative AI systems by watermarking all the training data, after which the generated content will contain the same watermark.” Unless you use

undetectable.ai, of course. “In a world where AI-generated content is becoming increasingly prevalent, finding ways to bypass AI content detectors is crucial for businesses and individuals looking to succeed in digital marketing and content creation.”

👉 The secret list of Twitter VIPs getting boosted over everyone else includes: NBA All-Star LeBron James, Pseudonymous conservative commentator @catturd2, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and D-NY President Joe Biden.

👉 Research by Goldman Sachs suggests that AI could automate a quarter of the work done in the US and eurozone. The technology could spark a productivity boom that could raise annual gross domestic product by 7% over a 10-year period.

👉 Norway-based 1x.tech, which is developing humanoid robots, raised a $23.5M Series A2 led by the OpenAI Startup Fund with participation from Tiger Global and others. Still looks like a skinny guy in a stretchy suit.

👉 The Debate About AI Safety: Impact of FLI’s Open Letter The Future of Life Institute (FLI) released an Open Letter calling for a six-month pause on training AI systems more powerful than GPT-4, which has sparked a heated debate about the future of AI and its potential impact on society. While some people support the FLI's approach, others (including me) criticize it for being disproportionate to other existential risks such as climate change, pandemics, and conflicts.

Deepfakes in the news

👉 From Data to ChatGPT: Examining AI Consciousness Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, recently discussed a range of AI-related topics on Lex Fridman's podcast. In the two-hour twenty-minute episode, they talked about GPT-4, political bias in AI, AI safety, neural network size, AGI, competition, non-profit organizations, and power dynamics. They also discussed AI consciousness and the potential for machines to take control, which reminded me of a particular episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

👉 Doña Ángela Captures the Hearts of Millions with Her Relatability and Comforting Persona De mi Rancho a Tu Cocina, a Mexican YouTube channel featuring Ángela Garfias Vázquez, known as Doña Ángela to her fans, has taken the cooking world by storm since it was started in 2019. With 397 videos and over 4.27 million subscribers, Mrs. Ángela's cooking videos have received 437 million views, surpassing even popular channels like Martha Stewart's and the New York Times Cooking channel combined.
