Pretty sure all the CEO’s publicly urging the slowdown will head back to the shop trying to get the upper hand on the competition.

A dire warning like that means it’s already out of the box!
They just want to agree to reign it back in! CYA
Sorta like Fauci’s emails on Covid-19. Except he had a Hitleresque agenda. Fauci’s Final Solution = Gain of Function
Have to admit, his plan worked!

“Provenance and watermarking”?

Why not just espouse the three laws of robotics…?
Because the robots already told them not to!

AI-generated image claims explosion occurred at the Pentagon

Story by Stacy Liberatore For Dailymail.com • 2h ago

A suspected AI-generated image claiming to show an explosion near the Pentagon went viral on Twitter Monday, sending markets crashing.

Dozens of verified accounts - including national news organizations - reshared what shows black smoke billowing up from the ground next to a white building.

The image appears so realistic that people became frantic as it circulated the platform around 10 am ET, which caused the S&P 500 to drop 10 points in five minutes as the image went viral.

The Arlington Fire Department swiftly debunked the event, stating that ‘there is no explosion or incident taking place at or near the Pentagon reservation.’

It comes as fears about the power of artificial technology in spreading misinformation, particularly in the build-up to the 2024 Presidential Election.

Deputy Officer for the Pentagon told DailyMail.com: ‘We do not have any comment beyond confirming it as false.’

The Kobeissi Letter, a source that reports on the global capital markets, tweeted about the image one hour after it went viral.

‘With multiple news sources reporting it as real, the S&P 500 fell 30 points in minutes. This resulted in a $500 billion market cap swing on a fake image,’ The Kobeissi Letter tweeted.

While some Twitter users blamed the advanced AI technology for the fake image, others pointed at accounts that quickly retweeted the photo without investigating its authenticity.

Nick Waters, ex-army personnel and Bellingcat journalist, tweeted how to tell the image was fake.

‘Confident that this picture is claiming to show an ‘explosion near the Pentagon’ is AI-generated,’ Waters posted.

'Check out the frontage of the building and the way the fence melds into the crowd barriers. There are also no other images, videos or people posting as first-hand witnesses.

‘Whenever an event like this takes place, it will affect a large number of people. Even leaving aside that fact this picture is clearly AI-generated, it’s immediately possible to identify this as a fake by geolocation and conducting searches on social media.’

Twitter user Walter Bloomberg, who has more than 653,000 followers, was one of the first to share a tweet about the image.

However, he just tweeted: ‘Large Explosion near The Pentagon Complex in Washington D.C. - Initial Report.’

However, Russia-owned RT also pushed the image on its Twitter account, captioning it as an explosion had occurred.

The publication has since deleted the tweet.

The AI-generated disastrous come when people call for more regulations on the technology and fear it will destroy humanity and spread misinformation.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman spoke in front of Congress last week, answering five-hour questions about how to control the technology that could potentially gain self-control.

And in March, Elon Musk and more than 1,000 other tech leaders signed an open letter calling for the development of AI to stop for at least six months so an analysis can be done.

Like the invention of the atomic bomb in the 1940s, a tech expert told DailyMail.com that ‘AI superintelligence is like the nuclear weapons of software.’

This would be possible if AI reaches singularity, a hypothetical future where technology surpasses human intelligence and changes the path of our evolution - and this is predicted to happen by 2045. AI would first have to pass the Turing Test.

When it does, the technology is considered to have independent intelligence, allowing it to self-replicate into an even more powerful system that humans cannot control.

Kevin Baragona was one of the more than 1,000 leading experts who signed an open letter on The Future of Life Institute, calling for a pause on the ‘dangerous race’ to develop ChatGPT-like AI.

Like the invention of the atomic bomb in the 1940s, Baragona told DailyMail.com that ‘AI superintelligence is like the nuclear weapons of software.’

‘Many people have debated whether we should or shouldn’t continue to develop them,’ he continued.

Americans were wrestling with a similar idea, while developing the weapon of mass destruction - at the time it was dubbed ‘nuclear anxiety.’

'It’s almost akin to a war between chimps and humans, Baragona, who signed the letter, told DailyMail.com

'The humans obviously win since we’re far smarter and can leverage more advanced technology to defeat them.

‘If we’re like the chimps, then the AI will destroy us, or we’ll become enslaved to it.’

We didn’t need AI. A good portion of humanity is already enslaved to social media.

How do they manage to get such good images out of the AI? So far, all my attempts to make memes are either junk, or blocked altogether, not PC enough.

A possible positive article about AI. :thinking:

A new antibiotic, discovered with artificial intelligence, may defeat a dangerous superbug (msn.com)

A new antibiotic, discovered with artificial intelligence, may defeat a dangerous superbug

Using artificial intelligence, researchers say, they’ve found a new type of antibiotic that works against a particularly menacing drug-resistant bacteria.

When they tested the antibiotic on the skin of mice that were experimentally infected with the superbug, it controlled the growth of the bacteria, suggesting that the method could be used to create antibiotics tailored to fight other drug-resistant pathogens.

What’s more, the compound identified by AI worked in a way that stymied only the problem pathogen. It didn’t seem to kill the many other species of beneficial bacteria that live in the gut or on the skin, making it a rare narrowly targeted agent.

If more antibiotics worked this precisely, the researchers said, it could prevent bacteria from becoming resistant in the first place.

The study was published in the journal Nature Chemical Biology.

Software can only do what its creators programmed it with! There is a form of insanity that makes a person to follow woke ideology, and it must reflect on their creation, be it music, cinema, or in this case, the chatbot.
