Spreadsheet manipulation is widely existing in most daily works and significantly improves working efficiency. Large language model (LLM) has been recently attempted for automatic spreadsheet manipulation but has not yet been investigated in complicated and realistic tasks where reasoning challenges exist (e.g., long horizon manipulation with multi-step reasoning and ambiguous requirements). To bridge the gap with the real-world requirements, we introduce $\textbf{SheetRM}$, a benchmark featuring long-horizon and multi-category tasks with reasoning-dependent manipulation caused by real-life challenges. To mitigate the above challenges, we further propose $\textbf{SheetAgent}$, a novel autonomous agent that utilizes the power of LLMs. SheetAgent consists of three collaborative modules: $\textit{Planner}$, $\textit{Informer}$, and $\textit{Retriever}$, achieving both advanced reasoning and accurate manipulation over spreadsheets without human interaction through iterative task reasoning and reflection. Extensive experiments demonstrate that SheetAgent delivers 20-30% pass rate improvements on multiple benchmarks over baselines, achieving enhanced precision in spreadsheet manipulation and demonstrating superior table reasoning abilities.

Anti-gun activists use AI to recreate voices of mass shooting victims, taunt lawmakers with robocalls

FOX News

Families of gun violence victims are using artificial intelligence to recreate their loved ones' voices and taunt lawmakers who oppose gun control on the sixth anniversary of the Parkland massacre. The robocall messages are being sent to senators and House members who support the National Rifle Association and Second Amendment rights in a campaign that launched on Valentine's Day, Wednesday, according to the Associated Press. Manuel and Patricia Oliver, whose son Joaquin "Guac" Oliver died in the 2018 high school shooting in Parkland, Florida, said the campaign run through The Shotline website is intended to spur Congress to ban the sale of guns like the AR-15 rifle. "We come from a place where gun violence is a problem, but you will never see a 19-year-old with an AR-15 getting into a school and shooting people," Manuel Oliver told the Associated Press in an interview. The Olivers, immigrants from Venezuela, became activists after Joaquin and 13 other students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School were murdered by a 19-year-old killer with a rifle.


Tech: iRobot's new £900 Roomba vacuum cleaner is trained to avoid dog and cat faeces

Daily Mail - Science & tech

These'poopocalypses' were a disgusting problem that even the manufacturers admitted back in 2016 was'seen a lot' and needed a solution. The Roomba j7 can also avoid getting tangled in cables, automatically clean only when everyone has left the house and learn from the feedback you give it. And each robot is covered by POOP -- the'Pet Owners' Official Promise -- with iRobot offering to replace any Roomba j7 that doesn't avoid solid pet waste. The WiFi-enabled Roomba j7, which comes with a'clean base' automatic dirt disposal system is retailing in the UK, US, Canada and Europe now from £899.99. Each Roomba j7 model is covered by POOP -- the'Pet Owners' Official Promise -- with iRobot offering to replace any Roomba j7 that doesn't avoid solid pet waste.
