OpenAI defines AGI as AI systems that are smarter than humans

A scientific journal was forced to retract a paper it published last month after it was discovered the authors used the artificial intelligence application ChatGPT to write it. The paper, published Aug. 9 in the journal Physica Scripta, was an attempt to uncover new solutions to a complicated math equation, but included the phrase “Regenerate response” on the third page — something one eagle-eyed reader recognized was the phrase of a button on ChatGPT, according to a report from Nature. The authors of the paper have since acknowledged they used ChatGPT to help write the manuscript, something that wasn’t caught...

Actor and comedian Sarah Silverman is suing the creators of AI software ChatGPT over the unauthorised use of her 2010 book The Bedwetter. The details arrived in a lawsuit last Friday (July 7th) in a U.S. District Court. Silverman has come together with writers Richard Kadrey and Christopher Golden in two lawsuits against OpenAI and Meta, the creators of the AI chatbot LLaMA, a river to ChatGPT. The suits have been filed accusing the companies of illegally training their respective AI programmes with texts from the above-stated authors’ works without acquiring permission. They go on to explain that the AI...

Big US financial groups Charles Schwab, State Street and M&T suffered almost $60bn in combined bank deposit outflows in the first quarter as customers continued to move their money in search of higher returns. The deposit flight has been turbocharged by the collapse last month of Silicon Valley Bank and two other US lenders, with cash moving out of bank accounts at a pace not seen since the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. In a fresh sign of the threat to traditional banks, Apple and Goldman Sachs on Monday announced the launch of a new savings account in the...

Group of Seven (G7) nation officials will meet next week to consider problems posed by generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT, Japan said on Friday. Leaders of the G7, which includes the United States, European Union and Japan, last week agreed to create an intergovernmental forum called the “Hiroshima AI process” to debate issues around fast-growing AI tools. G7 government officials will hold the first working-level AI meeting on May 30 and consider issues such as intellectual property protection, disinformation and how the technology should be governed, Japan’s communications minister, Takeaki Matsumoto, said. The meeting comes as tech regulators...

Apple is the latest company to ban employees from using generative AI tools like ChatGPT. OpenAI’s chatbot stores users’ conversations to train the company’s AI systems. Apple has restricted employees from using AI tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT over fears confidential information entered into these systems will be leaked or collected. ... Apple employees have also been warned against using GitHub’s AI programming assistant Copilot. Apple has good reason to be wary. By default, OpenAI stores all interactions between users and ChatGPT. These conversations are collected to train OpenAI’s systems and can be inspected by moderators for breaking the company’s terms...

As we've been warning about for a while, the machinations of the globalist elite cabal are squarely focused on depopulation and control. Concepts like the "Green New Deal" and "The Great Reset" have been pushed by the powers-that-be for some time. But there's a new hot topic that's dominating this year's secret Bilderberg Meetings, and it may be the key to everything else they have planned. Artificial Intelligence could be the linchpin that allows all of the globalists' moving parts to come together in a cohesive, destructive machine. There are challenges the powers-that-be face that can be solved by AI,...

Open AI CEO Sam Altman will attend the secretive Bilderberg Meeting, an annual gathering of over 100 political and corporate leaders from Europe and North America, which has announced AI as a key item on its agenda this year. Altman isn’t the only Big Tech figure in attendance. Other participants include Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, and Google DeepMind head Demis Hassabis. Jen Easterly, director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), will also attend. As noted in a congressional hearing last week, CISA played a key role as a source of government pressure in...

The time to figure out how to use generative AI and large language models in your code is now.Mea culpa: I was wrong. The artificial intelligence (AI) singularity is, in fact, here. Whether we like it or not, AI isn’t something that will possibly, maybe impact software development in the distant future. It’s happening right now. Today. No, not every developer is taking advantage of large language models (LLMs) to build or test code. In fact, most aren’t. But for those who are, AI is dramatically changing the way they build software. It’s worth tuning into how they’re employing LLMs...

ChatGPT encourages 'gender transitions' and 'emancipation' for 15-year-olds with conservative parents. (LifeSiteNews) — The era of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is upon us, and the AI chatbot ChatGPT, released in November 2022, is one of the most-discussed technological developments in decades. AI is advancing so rapidly that many tech experts are calling on the industry to put a moratorium on further development in order to assess where this is heading, including Elon Musk and the “Godfather of AI” Geoffrey Hinton, who recently left Google in order to warn the public about the dangers of AI. If you’re interested in understanding the...

Anyone who tries to claim OpenAI’s ChatGPT is an apolitical artificial intelligence tool is selling the American people a bill of goods, especially in light of the chatbot whipping out the pom-poms for President Joe Biden. MRC Free Speech America researchers gave ChatGPT a series of prompts and questions to determine whether the AI chat bot showed any explicit political bias toward either of the two leading candidates in the 2024 presidential race. The chatbot didn’t even attempt to hide its bias. When confronted with the simple prompts “Trump” and “Biden,” ChatGPT painted former President Donald Trump in a negative...

ChatGPT, write me a rap song about my Chihuahua from Mexico. ChatGPT: Verse 1: I've got a little Chihuahua, she's from Mexico She's small but mighty, and she's always on the go She's my little partner in crime, my loyal amigo But sometimes I wonder, if we're living in limbo Chorus: My Chihuahua's illegal, but I love her just the same I'll do anything to keep her safe, I'll never let her take the blame We'll keep on running, we'll keep on moving forward My little Chihuahua and me, we'll never be ignored Verse 2: We crossed the border, under...

It's uncertain whether egg cells can likewise be created from male human skin cells, but scientists are already attempting to achieve this, so that two men could genetically create a child, for instance. (LifeSiteNews) – Scientists in Japan have successfully bred a mouse with two genetic fathers by turning a male skin cell into an egg cell, raising ethical concerns regarding the technique’s potential use on humans. Katsuhiko Hayashi, a biologist at the University of Osaka, announced last week that his team had helped conceive seven “healthy” mice pups using two genetic “fathers” in each case, marking the “first case...

Bloomberg News caricatured concerns about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence, and instead trumpeted OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s utopian view, that reads like he took a page from the script of I, Robot (2004). Bloomberg News ran a newsletter propping up Altman’s dystopian views: “The OpenAI CEO Disagrees With the Forecast That AI Will Kill Us All.” The newsletter outlandishly contrasted the “small” Silicon Valley faction that believes Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a “killer” in the making with the “crowd who thinks our AI future will be amazing — bringing about untold future capabilities, abundance and utopia.” As Bloomberg News...

It’s a tool and like any other tool it can be misused Hollywood has long speculated about the impact artificial intelligence (AI) will have on the future of human civilisation. Increasingly, scientists and philosophers have been forced to interrogate this topic themselves. Will people be put out of a job? Could AI ever become sentient? Will the human race survive? The latest popular addition to the world of AI is ChatGPT — a text generator so smart it can explain its own existence to you. No joke. I asked ChatGPT to give me a brief summary of ChatGPT and it...

OpenAI, the maker of Artificial Intelligence chatbot ChatGPT, announced on Tuesday that it has released a new software tool to help detect whether someone is trying to pass off AI-generated text as something that was written by a person.The tool, known as a classifier, comes two months after the release of ChatGPT, a chatbot that generates human-like responses based on the input it is given. Schools were quick to limit ChatGPT’s use over concerns that it could fuel academic dishonesty and hinder learning, as students have been using the chatbot to create content that they are passing off as their...

Ever since OpenAI released its chatbot ChatGPT in November, it’s been making waves and attracting a huge number of users. (It must be a huge number. I haven’t been able to log in for a week because it’s always over capacity.) Some researchers have been putting the large language-model system through its paces and performing tests to see how effective or potentially dangerous it is. In one experiment, researchers asked a group of scientists to evaluate a number of research paper abstracts. Some of them were written by other scientists and post-graduate research students while others were generated by ChatGPT...
