California Gov. Newsom vetoes bill SB 1047 that aims to prevent AI disasters

Advanced AI chatbots are less likely to admit they don’t have all the answers

Advanced AI chatbots are less likely to admit they don’t have all the answers

Researchers have spotted an apparent downside of smarter chatbots. Although AI models predictably become more accurate as they advance, they’re also more likely to (wrongly) answer questions beyond their capabilities rather than saying, “I don’t know.” And the humans prompting them are more likely to take their confident hallucinations at face value, creating a trickle-down effect of confident misinformation.“They are answering almost everything these days,” José Hernández-Orallo, professor at the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia, Spain, told Nature. “And that means more correct, but also more incorrect.” Hernández-Orallo, the project lead, worked on the study with his colleagues at the Valencian…

Thoughts on AI Beating CAPTHCA

AI Outsmarting CAPTCHA: A Double Edged Sword? CAPTCHA, those annoying puzzles we all face to prove we’re human—has long been the gatekeeper against bots. But with AI's rapid evolution, CAPTCHA may no longer be as effective as we think. Recently, AI systems have demonstrated the ability to bypass these security measures with alarming accuracy. This raises questions about internet security. CAPTCHA, designed to separate humans from bots, might soon become obsolete as AI gets better at mimicking human behavior. The broader challenge lies not just in CAPTCHA failing but in how we can stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated AI-powered attacks.…

My experience with artificial intelligence systems is rather limited. But I have been tasked with identifying projects that might be useful to our institution so when the opportunity presents itself, I try to employ AI for help. As a volunteer for our high school marching band association, I am in charge of the buttons. This includes making them with the button press as well as designing and printing. In most cases, we have PDF files on the ready so that we can just print templates as needed. But as I was checking the inventory for our home show, the "got…
