The stories that matter most to you
Read Time: 3.5 mins
Good Morning from the Promptbox Team
Another day, another story about Elon destroying the artist formerly known as Twitter. With his latest move to start charging users a 'nominal fee' will this be the final straw before users flee in mass?
Plus, humans can't figure out if AI is or can become conscious - which is a problem - as Agility Robotics opens up the first humanoid robotics factory in Oregon.
Its Tuesday, folks. Let's get it.

In a recent report, a group of philosophers, neuroscientists, and computer scientists set out on a complex journey to identify signs of consciousness in artificial intelligence.
Previously considered a subject confined to the philosophical, the study of consciousness has entered a new phase of literal exploration.
This is the black box problem of AI. So even if we had a full and exact rubric of consciousness, it would be difficult to apply it to the machines we use every day.
However, the task has its challenges, including the "black box" problem of AI, where the learning processes of deep neural networks remain largely incomprehensible to humans.
Moreover, current theories, primarily grounded in computational functionalism, might overlook crucial biological, social, or cultural aspects of consciousness, necessitating a more nuanced approach.
As AI and machine learning continue to advance, the urgency to navigate these complex terrains escalates, urging researchers to set clear boundaries and criteria for machine consciousness.
The Question
Should the development of potentially conscious AI be regulated? If so, what kind of regulations would be necessary?

LARGE LANGUAGE MODEL
With the imminent launch of Gemini, Google’s latest LLM, OpenAI sets to launch Gobi, its next-generation multimodal LLM
A multimodal model can process multiple forms of data at once, such as generating content from both text and images
ROBOTICS
Agility Robotics is wrapping up construction of a 70,000 sq ft humanoid robot factory in Salem, Oregon, the first of its kind, which the company calls “RoboFab.”
The robots, called ‘Digit,’ will have two legs and two arms and is engineered to maneuver freely and work alongside humans in warehouses and factories.
Google just announced that a series of updates to Bard will give the chatbot access to Google’s full suite of tools - including YouTube, Google Drive and others.
Users will be able to plan an upcoming trip - with real flight information, or summarize meeting notes and documents uploaded to Google Drive.
FUNDING
Darrow, which has developed an AI-based data engine to search for class action litigation potential, just raised $35 million in its Series B, led by B2B specialist Georgian.
The startup, founded in 2020, was in response to how lawyers worked mid and post-COVID and how they looked for online leads.
SOCIAL
TikTok announced today that it will launch a new tool that will allow creators to label their AI-generated content and begin testing other ways to label AI-generate content automatically.
This tool should make it easier for creators to comply with the newly updated policy on synthetic media.
