• Terrific thread of the result a competition between developers to make the worst possible volume control UI.• Someone hooked Chatgpt up to a browser and asked it to find him some money, and it succeeded. (Via the California unclaimed property website)
• AGI researcher roon takes a shot at arguing that the worst-case evil LLM possibilities seem implausible. Here's a second one, using a process reminiscent of the drake equation to argue LLMs are unlikely to be an existential risk to humanity.
• Andrej Karpathy argues that AutoGPTs are the future of engineering. Someone else says it's like taking loop where the AI writes code and the human looks at it and decides what to ask for next, just take the human out. Also, here's a paper just published on the same concept.

• Thread comparing Adobe's new AI image generator with Midjourney. Adobe worked hard to only use material they could license, Midjourney doesn't worry about it. The difference in the results is *quite* striking.
