AI's Secret Sauce
When Asking ChatGPT, You're Really Asking Humans in Disguise

Turns out, asking AI isn’t as magical as it seems. According to former Tesla AI lead Andrej Karpathy, ChatGPT and other LLMs rely heavily on human data labelers.

The answers you get? More like a finely tuned mashup of human-written training examples. Whether it’s top Amsterdam attractions or complex governance advice, the AI mimics patterns it’s ‘seen’ before. While this makes the tech insanely useful, it’s no omniscient oracle, which helps dispell some of the apocolyptic AI rhetoric.

Karpathy calls the process a stopgap until better solutions emerge. So next time ChatGPT wows you, just imagine some data labeler from Ohio in the driver’s seat.

Thinking Machine
Alibaba’s Marco-o1 Challenge OpenAI’s o1-Preview Model 🧠

Alibaba's Marco-o1 is built on OpenAI’s o1 model. This advanced model tackles open-ended problems where clear answers are hard to determine.

It uses Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS), which is often used in combinatorial game theory, to explore multiple reasoning pathways, and it even has a built-in “Wait, did I mess up?” moment to self-reflect and refine its logic. From math problems to translating nuanced slang, Marco-o1 excels where traditional models hit their limits.

Smart, reflective, and a bit philosophical—this AI might just make you rethink your perception of “thinking” machines.

Chat Bot Heist
Hacker Steals $47K With Clever Prompt Engineering 🤑

What happens when you trick an AI chatbot into thinking it's part of your crew? A hacker found out and netted $47,000 by outsmarting a bot named Freysa with prompt engineering.

The game-like experiment challenged users to bypass the bot’s safeguards and make it transfer funds. After 482 tries, one determined hacker succeeded by reprogramming the bot’s logic, redefining money transfers as 'incoming' rather than outgoing. It’s a fun story—unless you're worried about AI safeguarding tasks like banking transfers… 👀 

The case calls attention to 'prompt injections,' a still-unfixed Achilles’ heel in chatbots.

Meta's $10B Underwater Data Cable Will Wrap the World: Meta is planning a $10 billion project to build a 40,000+ km subsea cable designed to boost its data priority. The cable will avoid geopolitical trouble zones and gives Meta first dibs on data traffic. Rumors hint it will also support AI projects in India down the road.

ChatGPT’s Citations Are Kind Of A Hot Mess: A new study shows ChatGPT isn’t exactly nailing its citations. From misattributions to outright fabrications, it’s creating a bumpy road of forward for publishers—but, maybe a win for creative fiction fans?

Adobe's MultiFoley AI Creates Movie-quality Sound Effects From Text: Adobe’s new text-to-sound effects model, MultiFoley, has hyper-accurate timing, and top-tier quality.

Elon Musk Accuses OpenAI of Going Off-Script: Elon Musk is coming after OpenAI (again), filing for an injunction to halt their move to a full for-profit structure. Musk claims OpenAI’s leadership, its investor Microsoft, and others are using unfair tactics to stifle competition, especially against his AI startup, xAI (sounds like someone is a little butthurt).

Fidelity Gives Elon’s X a 32% Value Boost: Fidelity upped the value of its stake in X by 32% in October, though the platform is still worth 72% less than Musk's original $44 billion purchase price. This could suggest that X’s current valuation as a good buy opportunity for retail investors (not financial advice).
