A social network for AI looks disturbing, but it's not what you think A social network solely for AI - no humans allowed - has made headlines around the world. Chatbots are using it to discuss humans' diary entries, describe existential crises or even plot world domination . It looks like an alarming development in the rise of the machines - but all is not as it seems. Like any chatbots, the AI agents on Moltbook are just creating statistically plausible strings of words - there is no understanding, intent or intelligence. And in any case, there's plenty of evidence that much of what we can read on the site is actually written by humans.

A NEW creepy AI technology has revealed a plan for world domination to its users along with instructions on how to shoplift and make bombs. The tech company OpenAI created a new bot called ChatGPT, which generates convincing dialogue from a short writing prompt. While this technology is meant to formulate helpful solutions, with the right prompt, it can also give you criminal responses. ChatGPT's safeguards, which are meant to prevent the AI from using offensive content, can be removed, depending on what the user says. Vice gave a few examples of safeguard overrides.

The rhopoema nomadica, or nomadic jellyfish, is native to the Indian Ocean but in the eighties, they started turning up in the eastern Mediterranean, presumably through the Suez Canal. Now this jellyfish forms massive plumes, kilometers wide, along the coast of the eastern Mediterranean and Israel. For the first time, recently, a huge plume formed off Egypt's coast, and off Turkey and Lebanon. When it blooms intensely, it can get sucked into the watering systems that power plants use to cool machinery. Jellyfish are gooey, like a sink stopper, and clog the intake systems, so they have to shut down power plants until they can clear the bloom away.

The digital arms race between the United States and Russia appears to be accelerating, fueled in part by new comments by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin, speaking to a group of Russian students Friday, called artificial intelligence "not only Russia's future" but "the future of the whole of mankind." "The one who becomes the leader in this sphere will be the ruler of the world," he said. "There are colossal opportunities and threats that are difficult to predict now." Top U.S. intelligence officials have been warning of a "perpetual contest" between the United States and Russia, with much of it playing out in the digital domain.

For those worried about artificial intelligence (AI) taking over the world, the University of California has got your back with an idea to make robots neurotic to stop them getting too cocky, reports Telecoms.com One of the concerns which has been raised through the implementation of AI, and also the advancement in machine learning, is how to make sure it does not become too self-aware. Pre-defined parameters are all well and good, but what happens when the machines become too intelligent and realise they could re-write their code to achieve things more efficiently. The escalation of this consciousness has been widely portrayed in Hollywood, with various applications taking over the world by one means or another. Researchers from the University of California at Berkeley believe that making robots less self-assured might be one way to ensure a more successful integration into everyday life, but also maintaining control over the applications in the long-run.

Tesla and Uber may be competitors in the self driving car race now, but according to a new book, the pair were almost teammates. The book, called'Wild Ride', has revealed that Uber CEO Travis Kalanick approached CEO Elon Musk with a proposition to form a partnership in self-driving cars last year. However, Kalanick's idea was deemed unrealistic by Musk, who advised the Uber founder to focus on his own platform, according to Bloomberg.

To make this multidevice universe work, developers will need a convenient platform to code on, and Build 2017 also provided exciting news about that. In addition to unveiling a Fluent Design framework to simplify coding for all manner of gadgets (headsets, phones or speakers), Microsoft also released a Project Rome SDK for iOS (previously available on Android) for developers to create apps that can work across devices running those operating systems. Whether it's through Cortana-enabled devices, Windows tweaked for various gadgets or multiplatform access to the Graph, it's clear that Microsoft is laying the groundwork to slide into all aspects of your life. Click here to catch up on the latest news from Microsoft Build 2017.

Microsoft just wrapped up its Build developer conference, and the theme unifying all the news is clear: Windows and Cortana everywhere. Whether it's linking Windows to all your other devices or letting developers code for various platforms from their PCs, Microsoft made a bigger effort to get its hooks in all aspects of our tech lives. CEO Satya Nadella kicked off the first keynote by outlining the company's vision for the future of computing, which will incorporate devices from laptops and smartphones to cars, forklifts, thermostats and robots. Although the first day served up more news for developers than consumers, it offered a taste of what Microsoft services could be coming soon. For instance, the just-released Cortana Skills Kit public preview will let creators build more functions for the voice assistant that span your personal and professional life.

As the science of artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more advanced and deeply ingrained in our daily lives, society gets closer to some of the iconic examples of AI from science fiction. Star Trek fans will remember the captain using a voice command to engage the ship's mainframe on the Starship Enterprise simply by saying "Computer." Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) recently added a new wake word to its Alexa-enabled Echo and Echo Dot smart speaker system, which amused and delighted fans of the pop-culture phenomenon. Now all those Star Trek fans will be able to engage with the digital assistant by saying "Computer." It's a fitting tribute, as the Star Trek computer was the inspiration for the development of Amazon's voice-controlled digital assistant.

When it comes to the intersection of smartphones and AI, Motorola had the most surprising news at the show. In case you missed it, Motorola is working with Amazon (and Harman Kardon, most likely) to build a Moto Mod that will make use of Alexa. Even to me, someone who cooled on the Mods concept after an initial wave of interesting accessories slowed to a trickle, this seems like a slam dunk. Even better, Motorola product chief Dan Dery described what the company ultimately wanted to achieve: a way to get assistants like Alexa to integrate more closely with the personal data we keep on our smartphones. In his mind, for instance, it would be ideal to ask an AI make a reservation at a restaurant mentioned in an email a day earlier.
