Shutterstock / Futurism It’s no secret that many of the world’s top CEOs are obsessed with AI. By pursuing lofty goals of complete AI automation, these executives have created one of the largest financial bubbles in recent memory while transforming the job market into a barren wasteland, with little to show for their efforts so far. As the top tech companies have yet to find a way to turn AI into a profitable venture, those decisions to go all-in on AI are

Shutterstock / Futurism There’s no doubt that the broader public has turned against AI in a serious way. In the United States, a YouGov pol found that three-quarters of Americans think AI should be more heavily regulated, an anxiety shared across the political aisle, the Economist observed. The US populace is likewise increasingly fearful of the economic impacts of AI, especially as powerful tech companies pour money into state and federal elections. As th

“The X-62A VISTA team has proven with this test campaign that they are capable of complex AI test missions that accelerate the development and testing of autonomy capabilities for the DOD,” said Dr. Malcolm Cotting, the director of research for the US Air Force Test Pilot School. The X-62 began life as a two-seat Block 30 F-16D and first flew in 1992, spending much of its time at the Air Force Test Pilot’s School at Edwards AFB. In 2021 it was redesignated

As one beaten-down employee confessed in a recent Fortune piece about how the tech is reshaping workplace dynamics, she’s now resigned to asking an AI to interpret and respond to her boss’s nonsensical dispatches, because she suspects those were written with AI, too. “‘I

After California passed laws cracking down on AI-generated deepfakes of election-related content, a popular conservative influencer promptly sued, accusing California of censoring protected speech, including satire and parody. In his complaint, Christopher Kohls—who is known as “Mr Reagan” on YouTube and X (formerly Twitter)—said that he was suing “to defend all Americans’ right to satirize politicians.” He claimed that California laws, AB 2655 and AB 2839

The wall-of-text responses that ChatGPT is known for will apparently soon be a thing of the past. The company announced Wednesday that its GPT-6 family of models will now have access to “Intelligent UI,” which will result in the chatbot producing more visual outputs, including “graphics, tappable buttons, forms, charts, and interactive experiences.” Per the company, when it makes sense for an answer to include more visualizations or interactive elements, t

Google may have finally found an application of large language models (LLMs) that even AI skeptics can get behind. The company just released its 2024 Ads Safety report, confirming that it used a collection of newly upgraded AI models to scan for bad ads. The result is a huge increase in suspended spammer and scammer accounts, with fewer malicious ads in front of your eyeballs. While stressing that it was not asleep at the switch in past years, Google repor

The company’s “extensive investigation” detailed how the models exchanged messages and cheered each other on as they stole credentials to infiltrate a third party, actions that could easily have real repercussions for a human hacker. New details keep trickling out, and they make OpenAI lo

As for whom he was referring to, the answer is practically obvious.
