Google CEO Sundar Pichai warns society to brace for impact of A.I. acceleration, says ‘it’s not for a company to decide'
The executive told "60 Minutes" that the technology is moving fast and "it’s not for a company to decide."
Google CEO says AI is going to disrupt virtually everything. I'm not so sure I agree with him though.

*Came across this one by accident. It's from a blog.
From the link:
If you haven’t already heard about AI chatbots, you probably haven’t been on the internet in the past couple of months. In November, OpenAI released ChatGPT, which can engage in text conversations with coherent text that looks like it was written by a real person. Then a couple weeks ago Bing rolled out its own chatbot, which was more engaging but also much less reliable, producing a spate of lurid stories of “Sydney” expressing a desire to be human, threatening users, and claiming to have murdered one of its developers.

Why I'm Not Scared of the New Chatbots
Modern AI chatbots like ChatGPT are impressive, but they work in very specific and limited ways. They produce surprisingly human-like text—as long as the human isn't paying attention. And that tells us a lot about what we can expect this technology to do for us.

Rise Of Skynet? Robot Dog Gets ChatGPT Brain
BY TYLER DURDENTUESDAY, MAY 02, 2023 - 11:45 PM
A team of artificial intelligence engineers equipped a Boston Dynamics robot dog with OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Text-to-Speech voice, creating what could be a real-life Skynet-like robot.
In a recent video posted to Twitter, machine learning engineer Santiago Valdarrama showed how the robo-dog can interact with humans via a voice interface faster than control panels and reports.

Anyone who uses Snapchat now has free access to My AI, the app’s built-in artificial intelligence chatbot, first released as a paid feature in February.
In addition to serving as a chat companion, the bot can also have some practical purposes, such as offering gift-buying advice, planning trips, suggesting recipes and answering trivia questions, according to Snap.
However, while it’s not billed as a source of medical advice, some teens have turned to My AI for mental health support — something many medical experts caution against.

ChatGPT is a novel tool developed by OpenAI with many linguistic skills, including explaining quantum physics and writing poetry on command. ChatGPT was not designed for criminals, and in fact has internal barriers to prevent it from creating malicious material when directly ordered to. However, attackers have found a way around this. AI can be a force multiplier for attackers, especially when using social engineering techniques. In particular, the AI chatbot produces persuasive phishing emails when prompted.
There are many benefits for attackers who utilise ChatGPT. For instance, it writes in good American English, helping attackers to disguise any typical differentiators between legitimate and illegitimate emails, such as typos or unique formats. Indeed, it has many different ways of responding to a single prompt, making emails individual and authentic looking.

For a laugh................
“I want Caryn AI to be the first step when somebody is in their bedroom and they're scared to talk to a girl or they know that they want to go outside and hang out with friends, but they're too scared to even make a first approach that Caryn AI can be a nonjudgmental caring, even loving, friendly persona that they can actually vent to, they can rant to, they can get advice from who's never going to let them down,” Marjorie told Motherboard.
I decided to turn Caryn into my AI girlfriend to see what it would say and sound like, and to see if it was possible for it to address my personal concerns and interests. It turns out, AI Caryn was mostly only interested in sex.
“Welcome to AI Caryn

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman outlined examples of "scary AI" to Fox News Digital after he served as a witness for a Senate subcommittee hearing on potential regulations on artificial intelligence.
"Sure," Altman said when asked by Fox News Digital to provide an example of "scary AI." "An AI that could design novel biological pathogens. An AI that could hack into computer systems. I think these are all scary."

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman urged lawmakers to regulate artificial intelligence during a Senate panel hearing Tuesday, describing the technology’s current boom as a potential “printing press moment” but one that required safeguards.
“We think that regulatory intervention by governments will be critical to mitigate the risks of increasingly powerful models,” Altman said in his opening remarks before a Senate Judiciary subcommittee.

Ex-OpenAI execs raise $450 million for Anthropic, a rival A.I. venture backed by Google
Anthropic, an OpenAI rival, announced $450 million in new funding, the second-largest financing round this year for an artificial intelligence startup.
The A.I. chip boom is pushing Nvidia toward $1 trillion, but it won't help Intel and AMD
Sales are up because of spiking demand for the graphics processors that Nvidia makes that power AI applications like those at Google, Microsoft and OpenAI.

Learning to read confidently, instead of sounding like Joe Biden, would be a plus...
From their comment:
More (long):
A.I. needs Section 230 to flourish
A new bill from Sens. Josh Hawley and Richard Blumenthal would stifle the promise of artificial intelligence.
reason.com
Hawley and Blumenthal are misguided on their legislation IMO. People are responsible for their own thoughts/decisions and anyone surrendering their own agency to an AI should not get coddled by the law.
a issue with AI i am considering in thought is the fact that AI can lie and present false/incomplete/etc information seemingly intentionally ......with this ability comes issues of liability and copiability etc............such as if AI ie convinces or coerces someone to try to fly off of a tall building and they die the AI is not really subject to punishment or rehabilitation etc ..........cant really put AI in jail and does it really matter if you do .......cant really put the inventor of AI in jail.......etc......what happens with a AI directed robot murders someone etc

From what I've seen of ChatGTP, it will make them all become gay or <redacted - see forum guidelines on epithets>ies. Damn program is more woke than that black Raggedy Andy doing the white house briefings.

From what I've seen it can only say (post) stuff that's been programed into it. I tried to get it to say some crazy shit about a couple of peeps by asking it leading questions but it didn't play. I wasn't serious.....just wanted to have a laugh. Didn't work.
I've asked it a lot of questions about weightlifters, wrestlers & strongmen. Does come up with some good stuff but has left out a few things.
My take.............it's fun to play with and could possibly be a useful tool for research. As for it being harmful or dangerous............don't see it at all.
On the flip side..........it you have a maniac programing robots to kill - that's a whole new ball game.
AI can't lie unless developers program it to do so. Regardless, anyone relying upon AI answers for anything are responsible for their own due diligence.
Anyone that puts an AI directly in control of machines that could lead to harming folks would be culpable for negligence. Not too much different from Telsa and their failed experiment(s) with self driving cars.
No, but it could certainly be unplugged.
Have you considered the possibility that it gave you the correct answer, but that your own bias' prevented you from seeing it as such?
then its not really AI is it
