Many New Jersey 'drone' sightings are lawfully operated manned aircraft, White House says
White House National Security spokesman John Kirby addressed the sightings of "drones" over New Jersey's skies, denying that any evidence suggests a foreign adversary is responsible. White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby claimed Thursday that many of the purported drone sightings spotted over New Jersey for the past several weeks are actually lawfully operated manned aircraft. "We have no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or a public safety threat, or have a foreign nexus," Kirby told reporters at the daily White House press briefing. "The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI are investigating these sightings, and they're working closely with state and local law enforcement to provide resources using numerous detection methods to better understand their origin." "Using very sophisticated electronic detection technologies provided by federal authorities, we have not been able to, and neither have state or local law enforcement authorities, corroborate any of the reported visual sightings," Kirby said.

CAMEL: Communicative Agents for "Mind" Exploration of Large Language Model Society
Li, Guohao, Hammoud, Hasan Abed Al Kader, Itani, Hani, Khizbullin, Dmitrii, Ghanem, Bernard
The rapid advancement of chat-based language models has led to remarkable progress in complex task-solving. However, their success heavily relies on human input to guide the conversation, which can be challenging and time-consuming. This paper explores the potential of building scalable techniques to facilitate autonomous cooperation among communicative agents, and provides insight into their "cognitive" processes. To address the challenges of achieving autonomous cooperation, we propose a novel communicative agent framework named role-playing. Our approach involves using inception prompting to guide chat agents toward task completion while maintaining consistency with human intentions. We showcase how role-playing can be used to generate conversational data for studying the behaviors and capabilities of a society of agents, providing a valuable resource for investigating conversational language models. In particular, we conduct comprehensive studies on instruction-following cooperation in multi-agent settings. Our contributions include introducing a novel communicative agent framework, offering a scalable approach for studying the cooperative behaviors and capabilities of multi-agent systems, and open-sourcing our library to support research on communicative agents and beyond: https://github.com/camel-ai/camel.

Robot security guard dubbed 'secret agent man' deployed to patrol Ohio sidewalks
Richtech Robotics spokesman Timothy Tanksley and Richtech Robotics COO Phil Zheng joined'Fox & Friends Weekend' to show how his company's robot barista can serve coffee on FOX Square. A shopping mall in Ohio is integrating cutting-edge AI technology into its safety team in the form of a 400-pound robot security guard. "He's our secret agent man," Stacie Schmidt, vice president of marketing at Crocker Park told local media of the new security robot. Crocker Park is an open-air shopping mall located in Westlake - a suburban town located about 15 miles outside of Cleveland - which sees nearly 10 million visitors a year and is home to 1,000 residents in luxury apartments. This month, leaders of Crocker Park introduced SAM, a 420-pound, 5'1" autonomous robot that will patrol sidewalks and act as a "watchdog," according to a press release provided to Fox News Digital. "Our priority has always been to provide a safe and secure environment for everyone who visits our center, and the Knightscope robot will play a crucial role in enhancing our existing security measures," Sean Flanigan, vice president of security at Stark Enterprises, which owns Crocker Park. SAM, which was built by California-based robotics company Knightscope, uses 360-degree video streaming and recording video capabilities to monitor areas and alert authorities to any potential issues. The robot can work 24 hours a day, rain or shine. "[SAM's] AI algorithms enable it to detect anomalies and issue alerts to the on-site security team in real-time.

Critics say AI can threaten humanity, but ChatGPT has its own doomsday predictions
The "CyberGuy" Kurt Knutsson says people should embrace but be "terrified of" ChatGPT and warns that TikTok can track people even if the app is not downloaded. As tech experts warn that the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence could threaten humanity, OpenAI's ChatGPT weighed in with its own predictions on how humanity could be wiped off the face of the Earth. Fox News Digital asked the chatbot to weigh in on the apocalypse, and it shared four possible scenarios how humanity could ultimately be wiped out. "It's important to note that predicting the end of the world is a difficult and highly speculative task, and any predictions in this regard should be viewed with skepticism," the bot responded. "However, there are several trends and potential developments that could significantly impact the trajectory of humanity and potentially contribute to its downfall."
