Brief: During the World AI Conference, Elon Musk expressed confidence in China's capabilities in building AI tech.

Details:

  • Musk did not directly address the impact of U.S. export restrictions on China's AI development.

  • His comments come as the U.S. government is reportedly considering further restrictions on China's access to U.S. semiconductors and cloud computing services.

  • Musk has maintained a good relationship with the Chinese government, opposing the "decoupling" between the world's two biggest economies.

  • In his speech, Musk discussed robots and autonomous driving, expressing concerns about deep intelligence and the need for regulatory oversight.

Looking Ahead:
The ongoing U.S.-China tech rivalry may impact the development and application of AI technologies.

Musk mentioned Tesla's humanoid robot, Optimus, which is designed to supplement, not replace, humans.

Brief: OpenAI is forming a new team to address the challenges of managing AI that exceeds human intelligence.

Details:

  • OpenAI predicts that AI with intelligence surpassing humans could emerge before 2030.

  • The company acknowledges that such AI may not necessarily be benevolent.

  • To address this, OpenAI is creating a new ā€œSuper Alignment Team,ā€ aiming to solve the core technical challenges of controlling super-intelligent AI.

Looking Forward:
The team plans to build a "human-level automated alignment researcher" to train AI systems using human feedback, train AI to evaluate other AI systems, and ultimately build AI that can do alignment research.

OpenAI hypothesizes that AI can make faster and better alignment research progress than humans can.

Brief: Meta's new social media platform, Threads, has seen rapid user growth, amassing 10 million signups within just seven hours, but there’s a catch.

Details:

  • Threads, a text-based conversation app, is considered a rival to Twitter and requires an Instagram account for onboarding.

  • According to Meta's 'Supplemental Privacy Policy,' a Threads profile is part of the user's Instagram account, so deleting a Threads account means deleting the linked Instagram account.

  • Threads was rolled out to users in over 100 countries and has quickly become a desirable alternative to Twitter.

  • Several major brands, including Netflix, Amazon, NFL, and Pepsi, have signed up for Threads, indicating their confidence in the new platform.

Looking Ahead: The requirement to delete the linked Instagram account to remove a Threads profile may pose a challenge for some users. As Threads continues to grow, it will be interesting to see how Meta addresses this, among other user concerns.

Quick Hits

Elon's latest pledge at the World AI Conference that a self-driving autonomous car will be ready by the end of the year stirs little excitement as he's 0/10 on delivering.

If it does come out this year, does it even matter?

A super PAC supporting Miami Mayor Francis Suarez’s run for the Republican presidential nomination just launched an AI chatbot to answer questions about him, a first for the 2024 campaign season.

Will most people know they’re talking to a chatbot?

ChatGPT’s traffic declined for the first time from May to June. Unique visitors decreased by 5.7%, while time spent on the site/app is down almost 9%.

Is this a warning that the AI bubble is about to burst?

Authors Paul Tremblay (The Cabin at the End of the World) and Mona Awad (Bunny, 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl) are suing OpenAI, alleging ChatGPT’s ā€œvery accurate summariesā€ of their books indicate it was trained on them without consent.

Does OpenAI need permission?

JUST IN:

  • Crypto asset manager Valkyrie refiles for Spot Bitcoin ETF, naming Coinbase as SSA counterpart.

  • Twitter receives first three money transmitter licenses for payment services in the US

  • $9 trillion asset manager BlackRock CEO says crypto is digital gold and ā€œBitcoin is an international asset.ā€

  • Jim Cramer says, ā€œInstagram is a really terrific product, and Twitter is awful.ā€

That’s a Wrap
