The reporting requirements are essential for alerting the government to potentially dangerous new capabilities in increasingly powerful AI models, says a US government official who works on AI issues. The official, who requested anonymity to speak freely, points to OpenAI’s admission about its latest model’s “inconsistent refusal of requests to synthesize nerve agents.”The official says the reporting requirement isn’t overly burdensome. They argue that, unlike AI regulations in the European Union and China, Biden’s EO reflects “a very broad, light-touch approach that continues to foster innovation.”Nick Reese, who served as the Department of Homeland Security’s first director of emerging technology…

The Trumps Have Gone Full Crypto With World Liberty Financial

stp2y0 CommentsRAG models, , ,
As it turned out, Trump was readily convinced: Despite having previously dismissed bitcoin as a “scam,” Trump has recently taken to pitching himself as the crypto president. In July, speaking to thousands of bitcoiners at a conference in Nashville, Tennessee, Trump promised to turn the US into the “crypto capital of the planet” and establish a national “bitcoin stockpile” if reelected. In a post on X after the speech, Tyler Winklevoss celebrated the former president having been “orange-pilled”—crypto lingo meaning “indoctrinated.”Initially, when Eric and Donald Jr. first began to hint at the World Liberty Financial project, there was speculation they…

Why Is AI So Bad at Generating Images of Kamala Harris?

stp2y0 CommentsAI, , , ,
When Elon Musk shared an image showing Kamala Harris dressed as a “communist dictator” on X last week, it was quite obviously a fake, seeing as Harris is neither a communist nor, to the best of our knowledge, a Soviet cosplayer. And, as many observers noted, the woman in the photo, presumably generated by X’s Grok tool, had only a passing resemblance to the vice president.“AI still is unable to accurately depict Kamala Harris,” one X user wrote. “Looks like they’re posting some random Latina woman.”“Grok put old Eva Longoria in a snazzy outfit and called it a day,” another…

Impersonators have descended on a soon-to-be-announced crypto venture tied to presidential candidate Donald Trump and his family, capitalizing on gaps in information about the project to promote inauthentic crypto tokens.Led by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., the sons of the former president, the Trumps have embarked on a campaign to promote an upcoming project—called World Liberty Financial—on social media. For the best part of a month, the family has teased the launch in cryptic posts that offer little detail.In an X post on August 6, Eric wrote that he had “truly fallen in love with crypto.” The following day,…

X labeled an unflattering NPR story about Donald Trump as ‘unsafe’

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , ,
X briefly discouraged users from viewing a link to an NPR story about Donald Trump's recent visit to Arlington National Cemetery, raising questions about whether the Elon Musk-owned platform is putting its thumb on the scale for the former president.On Thursday, NPR reporter Stephen Fowler posted a link to a story in which he quoted an Army official who said that an employee at Arlington National Cemetery was “abruptly pushed aside” during an event attended by Trump and members of his campaign earlier this week. The outlet had previously reported that there was a “physical altercation” at the event with…

Another image included the phrase “Taylor wants you to vote for Donald Trump.”“I accept!” Trump captioned his post.However, Trump’s post appears to contain a mixture of…

WIRED has been writing about Elon Musk—he of the electric cars, space rockets, tunnel-boring machines, implantable brain interfaces, Mars mission, and internet shitposting—for a long time. He’s always been unpredictable. And yet the most shocking part of his two-hour interview with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, broadcast live on X earlier this week, may just have been what Musk didn’t say.It happened around the 50-minute mark, during a very Trumpian discussion of gas and electricity prices. They were up nationally, Trump said, but “when that comes down and [sic] we’re going to drill, baby, drill.”The siren song of the oil…

The United Auto Workers union, which represents some 400,000 workers in the automobile, aerospace, and agriculture industries, on Tuesday said that it filed federal labor charges against Donald Trump and Elon Musk. The charges follow what the UAW describes as “attempts to threaten and intimidate workers” that arose during a conversation between Trump and Musk, hosted on X Spaces Monday evening, in which Trump appeared to praise X owner Musk for firing workers who strike.“Well, you're the greatest cutter,” Trump told Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX. “I mean, I look at what you do. You walk in and…
