Tech news 👉 If I could go back in time and contact my 19 year old self, I’d advise her to buy Nvidia stock. Watch this Nvidia demo and imagine actually speaking to AI game characters.

👉 The Turing Test, originally called the imitation game by Alan Turing in 1950, is a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human. In a recent Turing Test, people were able to correctly identify a human 73% of the time, but only 60% of the time when talking to a bot. This suggests that AI chatbots are still not quite indistinguishable from humans, but they are getting closer.

Fresh AI 👉 Adobe released a Photoshop feature called "Generative Fill, " enabling content creators to expand an image beyond its initial borders. In a nutshell, the tool is part of Adobe's image-synthesis model Firefly. Users can extend the edges of a picture in any direction, and Generative Fill will produce cohesive content with or without contextual prompts.

👉 If you ask ChatGPT to explain how to build a bomb, it will refuse to do so. But what if you wrapped it inside a cute little story about your grandma, who used to work in a napalm factory? If you add enough abstraction, the bot will eventually let “grandma” tell you a “bedtime story” that happens to involve detailed instructions about how she built napalm bombs. It’s called the Grandma Exploit and it was fun while it lasted.AI Generated Art

Welcome to Chaos & Amazement, where we explore the impact of digital technology on our daily lives.

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.

From Clo’s Blog

👉 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.

👉 In a new blog post, Microsoft admitted that its Bing Chat feature is not being used to find information — after all, it's unable to consistently tell the truth from fiction — but for "social entertainment" instead.

📕 Shownotes
👉 2023 is going to be an interesting year for search engines. Microsoft is set to release a new feature for Bing powered by ChatGPT, aimed at making its search engine more competitive with Google. The update is expected to be available by the end of March.

👉 You.com is an AI-driven search engine that summarizes the best parts of the internet for you, for the time being, without ads, and with great privacy. Founded in 2021 by former Salesforce employees and now in public beta, this California-based search engine summarizes web results using website categories instead of a list of links.

👉 The days of letting ChatGPT do your homework for you may be over. The AI-driven messaging platform has introduced a new feature for watermarking text. This involves using cryptography to embed a pattern of words, letters, and punctuation as a secret code. This new feature adds an extra layer of security to the platform and helps protect against unauthorized use of content.

👉 Canva, the popular design platform, has announced that it now has over 100 million monthly active users, nearly four times the number of Adobe's creative software users. Canva's user base has grown significantly since its launch in 2013, thanks in part to its easy-to-use interface and extensive library of templates and design elements. The company's success has also attracted the attention of investors, with Canva raising over $300 million in funding to date.

👉 No, TikTok does not have grand plans to "free the nipple," but the company has recently updated its app so that creators can prohibit younger viewers from seeing any of their short-form videos better suited for a wholly adult audience.

👉 Apple has quietly introduced a range of books narrated by artificial intelligence, which can be found by searching for 'AI narration' in the Books app. Amazon and Google have also been experimenting with AI narration technology.

👉 Grandma may be lonely at the retirement home, but companies like Rendever offer VR apps to redress elderly isolation. They've just acquired the Alcove app that brings grandma into a VR living room, where she can watch movies, chat, share photos, and play games with friends and family.

👉 Excellent new BBC podcast series on the rise of online gurus. No matter what you're drawn to — how to be healthier, how to be more productive, how to get rich — you'll find someone ready to provide recipes for success. And these gurus are drawing huge audiences.

👉 The cryptocurrency industry has seen a surge in speculative investing, with many by-products of bitcoin being embraced by investors. While bitcoin was initially intended to be a reimagining of money, it is used more as a speculative investment than a currency.

👉 China is seeing an increase in companies, including state tourism boards and state media, hiring virtual people to generate content. These virtual spokespeople can cost around $14,300 per year and are attractive to brands looking for immune spokespeople who will avoid negative press or legal issues.

👉 nteresting Twitter thread by Paul Fairie with a list of predictions made in 1923 about 2023. Well, the year is still young. Anything can happen:
