šØ Republicans Attack Biden (with AI)

AI has officially entered the world of American politics.
Moments after Biden announced his reelection campaign, the RNC released a commercial depicting fake national and international crises they believe would occur after a Biden 2024 election win.
The catch? The commercial was produced 100% from AI.
Bidenās campaign launch starts with actual dystopic footage of the final days of Trump and then shows actual great momentās of Bidenās presidency.
The GOP donāt want anyone thinking about how much has been achieved⦠so they had AI make their attacks up. š¤¦āāļø

This was only the beginning: Products like Midjourney and OpenAIās DALL-E make it easy to create digital art in seconds
ā¦and now the problem is deciphering between whatās human-made vs AI-made - and the 2024 election will see multiple ads created from AI, according to Axios
This isnāt the first time weāve seen AI-generated photos of political leaders.
Last month, everyone thought Pope Francis was the king of style and Donald Trump had been arrested, but the photos turned out to be made from Midjourney.


š« The Future of War is Now

Have you heard of Palantir? The companyās most known for allegedly tracking down Bin Laden.
But the truth is Palantirās one of the most secretive companies in the world, so weāre not sure if weāre more scared or excited about the recent launch of Palantir Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) - which is basically ChatGPT for war.
How does it work? AIP integrates LLMs (such as OpenAIās GPT-4 or Googleās BERT) with private networks that have access to lots and lots of data. Just imagine what you could ask ChatGPT if it had access to all of the Pentagonās classified documents - yeah, you got the hang of it.
In Palantirās demo (see below), a military operator faces an issue at an eastern European border. The operator asks AIP to scout the area with a drone, and based on the footage, list potential courses of action to take - for all we know, the operator could have been operating from his toilet.
š¤ ChatGPT Inside of a Robot

What could go wrong when you give artificial intelligence a body? Well, weāre about to find out.
Boston Dynamics sells a robotic dog called Spot that can carry around 30 lb and automatically complete tasks - such as walking around an oil facility to detect potentially hazardous leaks.
Just a few days ago, Boston Dynamics integrated OpenAIās ChatGPT into Spot - check it out here.
We integrated ChatGPT with our robots.
We had a ton of fun building this!
Read on for the details:

Whatās new? With the ChatGPT integration, Spot can now answer questions about its past and future tasks. In the video, AI expert Santiago Valdarrama tells Spot to walk backwards because its invading his personal space - Spot, grab me a beer. š
What could possibly go wrong? Well, if youāre a fan of Black Mirror, thereās already an episode on that.
Boston Dynamics isnāt the only company combining AI and robotics.
Last month, Elon Musk updated us on Teslaās humanoid robot Optimus - which can now walk, pick up small objects, and complete simple tasks.
But less than two years ago, Optimus was nothing more than a guy walking around in a robot costume during.
