Claude Personal Finance vs. ChatGPT Finances: What sets them apart?

Engadget

Both AI tools offer to delve deep into your bank accounts, but they differ in privacy settings. Ahead of its plans to go public with a potentially record-breaking valuation, Anthropic recently announced a new feature for Claude called Personal Finance . It's an obvious rival to OpenAI's Finances feature within ChatGPT, which debuted in May. Both options from these AI giants are meant to provide users with a better understanding of their finances and are not designed to offer expert financial advice, but there are slight variations in how they do it that might make you lean towards one or the other. To help you decide which AI chatbot to go with for more clarity on your finances, we've laid out the major similarities and differences of Claude's Personal Finance and ChatGPT's Finances features.

OpenAI says it will protect local resources and report on the impact of its data centers

Engadget

These new pledges come after Americans rebuked the explosion of data centers in local elections this week. OpenAI has pledged to conserve resources and be more transparent, just after Americans had overwhelmingly voted against data centers in the midterms. The company has published a National Community Compact, which details what people can expect from its future data centers. It has also released a Compute Campus Policy Blueprint, which proposes policies to give communities a voice and protect them from new costs if a development is built where they live. In its announcement, OpenAI vowed once again not to let its data center operations affect the electricity costs of nearby communities. It claims it will pay the full cost of the electricity it uses and the infrastructure buildouts and upgrades power providers need to serve its facilities.


He Trolls AI Labs for a Living. Now They All Want to Work With Him

WIRED

OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceXSI have all reached out to Husk, an influencer who regularly goes viral by exposing the shortcomings of chatbots. OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI have all asked creator Matt Husk to collaborate following the viral success of his videos trolling AI models. During the WIRED World Fair on Wednesday, Husk told the crowd "all the big AI companies" have inquired about working with him, including Elon Musk's xAI, which Husk claimed offered a Tesla for a week if he made videos exclusively for the firm. The comedian has gained some 2 million followers combined across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, as well as a deal with the talent agency Unicorn, through videoing himself making deadpan requests to ChatGPT's voice model--asking it to count to 100, or to beatbox, for example. His viral videos have exposed the weaknesses of OpenAI's LLM, which comically botches the tasks and swings between sycophancy and gaslighting Husk, and earned him the title of "Sam Altman's worst nightmare."

OpenAI employees warned about operational security lapses for years, sources say

The Japan Times

A man described as Abdulrahman Alfozan, a Saudi national employed as an OpenAI engineer, looks behind a TV where a recording device had been placed at a conference room in OpenAI offices, in a still image from surveillance video included in a charging document after U.S. federal agents arrested and charged him with installing a hidden audio recording device, in San Francisco on Oct. 5. | U.S. Department of Justice / via REUTERS SAN FRANCISCO - When OpenAI disclosed in October that it found a recording device planted in an executive conference room, a number of former employees had the same reaction -- they were not surprised. Even before OpenAI launched ChatGPT in late 2022, some company staffers raised concerns internally about its security practices, according to five people familiar with the matter. Employees shared their concerns with top OpenAI leaders and the board of directors, the people said, adding that some staffers came away from those interactions concluding that management was more focused on keeping pace with competitors like Google and Anthropic than on security. These workers argued that OpenAI's controls were so lax that outsiders, including foreign governments, could obtain sensitive information about the artificial intelligence lab's technology with relative ease, the people said. For example, anybody at OpenAI who could access its code could see the technical details underlying many company projects.
