On Friday, Meta announced a new AI-powered large language model (LLM) called LLaMA-13B that it claims can outperform OpenAI's GPT-3 model despite being "10x smaller."Smaller-sized AI models could lead to running ChatGPT-style language assistants locally on devices such as PCs and smartphones.

Recipes can be passed down by word of mouth, scribbled on index cards, published in cookbooks.But they've always had one thing in common: They're made by people.Few things, in fact, are as packed with humanity as a recipe.Mixed and folded and baked into each one are their creators' backgrounds, stories, tastes and feelings.

On Tuesday, AI startup Anthropic detailed the specific principles of its " Constitutional AI" training approach that provides its Claude chatbot with explicit "values."It aims to address concerns about transparency, safety, and decision-making in AI systems without relying on human feedback to rate responses.

TikTok is China's "Trojan horse," according to Rob Joyce, who heads the cyber security unit of America's National Security Agency.Joyce, speaking at the Silverado Policy Accelerator's conference on Monday, called TikTok "a strategic issue."This, as opposed to the type of tactical, day-to-day cyber threats the US spy agency wards off on the regular from nation-state actors and cyber crime gangs looking to make a buck (coin?) from business email compromise or ransomware infections.

"A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm."Turns out the Bing AI is bizarre and that is making quite the waves at the moment.In essence, the Bing version of ChatGPT has the capability of performing internet searches and as a result will feed some extra data into itself.

Disney's research and development into artificial intelligence is about to take another step forward, going beyond just AI to de-age actors.Earlier this year we reported how Darth Vader's voice actor, James Earl Jones, retired from the character and gave permission for an AI startup to keep his voice alive for future productions.

In the flood of writing and pondering about the advance of artificial intelligence-enabled art, the word "uncanny" keeps popping up.Writers and artists frequently describe the warped, hyper-real/hyper-cursed images programs such as DALL-E and Midjourney produce as possessed of the kind of eerie life-but-not-life effects discussed in Sigmund Freud's 1919 essay 'The Uncanny.' Freud was building on an earlier essay by another German pioneer of psychology, Ernst Jentsch, whose 1906 essay, 'On the Psychology of the Uncanny,' potentially speaks more directly to the 'machinic uncanny' of AI than Freud.

By now you're probably overwhelmed enough by baby names to understand how parents could call their kid Apple or Blanket.They were tired and just pointed at something in the room.If you're having trouble staying on top of baby name trends from this century, don't worry, this handy algorithm will at least help you come up with ideas for the next one.

Type "Teddy bears working on new AI research on the moon in the 1980s" into any of the recently released text-to-image artificial intelligence image generators, and after just a few seconds the sophisticated software will produce an eerily pertinent image.Seemingly bound by only your imagination, this latest trend in synthetic media has delighted many, inspired others and struck fear in some.

There's a hot new AI on the block, but instead of generating images, this one analyzes them and spits out crude roasts of anyone they depict.The AI, known as the CLIP Interrogator and created by a generative artist who goes by the handle Pharmapsychotic, is technically a tool to figure out "what a good prompt might be to create new images like an existing one."
