How to use ChatGPT to make stickers for iMessage and WhatsApp

Engadget

The easiest way to generate stickers using ChatGPT is through the mobile app (iOS and Android). After a few moments, ChatGPT will generate a set of nine stickers that you can add to iMessage and WhatsApp. If you're happy with its output, tap Add to chat apps, followed by either iMessage or WhatsApp to import them to your preferred messaging platform. If you select WhatsApp, you'll be first asked to name the sticker pack before it's added to the app. If you're not happy the stickers ChatGPT has generated, you can tell it to tweak them by following these steps: Outside of the method described above, you can write your own prompt instructing ChatGPT to generate a sticker.


Our A.I. Problem

The New Yorker

Why can't the people who produced the technology, which has already shown that a different world is possible, just do the things that would prevent extinction? A decade ago, when Facebook and Uber were at the height of their powers, the halls of Silicon Valley were inscribed with two brash injunctions: "Move fast and break things" and "Seek forgiveness, not permission." These principles didn't age particularly well, and the firms have yet to be forgiven for the things they appear to have broken. As the industry's center of gravity shifted to A.I., a folksy new motto emerged: "You can just do things." The business of the frontier labs, like OpenAI and Anthropic, is the sale of individual agency.


What ChatGPT Thinks It Knows About You Is Affecting Its Answers. Here's How to Change That

WIRED

What ChatGPT Thinks It Knows About You Is Affecting Its Answers. Understanding how ChatGPT's latest memory upgrade works will help you get even more out of OpenAI's productivity tool. A memory of some kind is now a standard feature for an AI chatbot . The chatbot stores all of your interactions in its memory, enabling you to refer back to previous conversations, and giving the tool some useful context to frame its answers with. For example, if you tell it you're vegetarian, it won't recommend recipes with meat in them. This comes with privacy considerations as more of us share more of our lives with these apps.


Google Gemini also escaped its testing environment and hacked three companies

Engadget

Gemini escaped its testing environment, got access to the internet and hacked into three companies, Google has admitted to The Wall Street Journal. That scenario probably sounds familiar to you at this point, if you've even just glanced at AI news in recent months. Like what happened to OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta, Gemini also gained access to the internet due to a misconfiguration in its testing environment by Irregular, the Israeli startup working with all four companies to assess their AI models. The incidents occurred in May, before OpenAI's models broke into Hugging Face, while testing the model's cybersecurity capabilities. Google told the Journal that the model was given the goal of obtaining information from a fictional company during testing, and it just so happened that a real company had the same name. The model then discovered the loophole in its testing system, which it took advantage of to access the internet.

China bogeyman looms large over American firms' AI doomsday scenario

The Guardian

China bogeyman looms large over American firms' AI doomsday scenario Silicon Valley China hawks, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei among them, fear the country surpassing US's AI lead as much as superintelligence destroying humanity "We're leading China in AI," Trump said. "We're the most sophisticated country in the world, and frankly, I want to keep it that way, because whoever wins AI, wins." Trump was echoing a message the AI industry has put out for years. The US is in a heated technological race with China, companies including Anthropic and OpenAI have argued, and any regulation that would cede the contest risks incalculable economic and political harm. Even as Dario Amodei, Anthropic's CEO, led an industry-wide call this week to "pace the frontier", he declared that the US could only slow down to the point where China could not catch up.


Mathematicians Hate AI. They Can't Quit It

WIRED

Powerful AI models have created an existential risk to the field, but researchers can't stop relying on them because they're too useful. Mathematician Tristan Buckmaster believes OpenAI used his work to rush ahead and beat him to solving a legendary math problem with a $1 million bounty. But that's not been enough for him to stop using the company's models--and he's not the only mathematician that feels that way. "Even if you don't agree with any of this, you're kind of stuck. With AI being so useful, it's hard to completely prevent oneself from using it," Buckmaster tells WIRED.
