One, called “code interpreter,” allows a business to get ChatGPT to write and even execute code on its behalf. based in Sao Paulo Brazil, tested ChatGPT’s new code-writing abilities and noted how remarkable it was that the system could “now make requests to any server on the Internet.” But that also meant there was “nothing stopping” ChatGPT from accessing a network it wasn’t supposed to. Klarna’s plugin, for instance, will turn ChatGPT into a shopping assistant that can make recommendations based on the millions of products that the Swedish company facilitates online payments for. However much OpenAI has tested and prodded its system to make sure it is safe, no one really knows the full extent of its risks until it is deployed publicly. OpenAI spent seven months testing GPT-4 before releasing it into to the wild, but its so-called “red team” engineers, who tested how it might be misused, could only cover a fraction of the ways it might be exploited by millions of real-world users. On that last point, the toothpaste is already out of the tube.

Tesla and Twitter CEO Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak were among several tech experts that called for a pause on AI development.

The company is looking at having ads displayed next to Bing chats or perhaps building out a feature that allows a user to hover over parts of the text Bing Chat generates and see relevant links pertaining to that information. This was the reaction of a good number of A.I. (Much of this has to do with the unfortunate division of A.I. (Some even theorize conspiratorially that this in fact is the intention of those sounding the alarm about existential risk, who they accuse of being disingenuous.) Most of the A.I. companies are clearly racing one another to release advanced A.I.-powered products and hook large language models up to the internet (as OpenAI has now done with the ChatGPT plugins.) And you don’t have to believe in AGI to think that this is potentially very dangerous and that the government ought to step in now to force the companies to slow down and put in place better safety guardrails. Also, it is possible that China would agree to a moratorium precisely because it knows it is falling behind the U.S. to use the six-month pause to agree on a set of verifiable procedures for ensuring powerful A.I. The argument here is that only Western companies would agree to the moratorium, putting the West itself at a disadvantage in the increasingly tense geopolitical competition over advanced A.I.

That’s because a credit aimed at saving consumers up to $7,500 on an EV comes with requirements that the batteries and components must originate from the U.S. The Italian watchdog also said it is concerned that “the information provided by ChatGPT does not always correspond to the real data, thus determining an inaccurate processing of personal data.” OpenAI now has 20 days to comply with the ban or face fines. These postings for jobs based in New York come as TikTok faces threats of a ban in the U.S. All the changes to the algorithm proposed by the public need to be reviewed and vetted and then incorporated into Twitter’s actual code. But I think the plan actually has more potential to create problems, given Twitter’s skeletal staff, than it does to solve them.
