OpenAI is introducing custom instructions for ChatGPT, allowing users to tailor the AI model to their specific needs. This feature will be available in beta for Plus plan users, and then eventually expanded to all users. Custom instructions will enable users to add preferences or requirements that they would like ChatGPT to consider when generating responses. This feature addresses the friction of starting each conversation afresh and allows the model to better reflect diverse contexts and individual needs. Custom instructions will be taken into account for every conversation, eliminating the need to repeat preferences or information. Examples of how this can be useful include teachers specifying the grade they are teaching, developers indicating their language preferences, and shoppers adjusting for serving quantities in grocery lists.

Kagi Search has introduced three AI features into their product offering. They discuss the role of AI in search and the challenges and their AI integration philosophy. Kagi Search started as Kagi.ai in 2018 and has a long history of using AI. They have made advancements in question-answering and summarization, and have contributed to the academic community. They believe that generative AI can unlock a new category of previously impossible searches. They acknowledge the limitations of current AI technologies, such as the risk of generating incorrect information and lacking understanding of the physical world. Kagi Search has a philosophy of using AI in a closed context relevant to search, enhancing the search experience, and supporting users. They mention the importance of users being able to regain control when the tool fails and the tool indicating low confidence in its answers. They have created a dataset of challenging questions to test the performance of different AI engines. The top-performing engines had an accuracy rate of approximately 75% on these questions. They also found that access to the internet provided only a marginal advantage to the engines.

Anthropic has released Claude 2, a new model with improved performance and longer responses. Claude 2 can be accessed through API and a new public-facing beta website called claude.ai. The model has been updated based on user feedback to be easier to converse with, provide clearer explanations, and generate fewer harmful outputs. It has also improved in coding, math, and reasoning abilities. Claude 2 scored higher on exams such as the Bar exam and the GRE. The model can now accept longer inputs and outputs, allowing it to work with more extensive documentation or write longer documents. Safety measures have been implemented to reduce offensive or dangerous output. Claude 2 is available in the US and UK and will be made more globally available in the future. The API is being used by various businesses, including Jasper and Sourcegraph, who have found value in Claude 2 for their platforms. However, users should be aware that the model can still generate inappropriate responses, and caution should be exercised in using AI assistants for sensitive matters. Anthropic welcomes feedback on Claude and invites businesses to start working with the model.

The author wanted to recreate MF DOOM’s prose in lyrics. They used the ChatGPT API to generate lyrics of MF DOOM’s caliber, but found that even with fine-tuning, it didn’t match DOOM’s wordsmithery. The author downloaded the lyrics of all MF DOOM songs and used the ChatGPT API to generate one-sentence summaries of each song. They fine-tuned a GPT-3 DaVinci model using the song lyrics and summaries. After fine-tuning, they used the model to generate lyrics for a song titled “Metal Mask” about how MF DOOM obtained his iconic metal mask and the power it gives him in the rap game. They also cloned DOOM’s voice from an acapella version of “Gazzillion Ear” and used ElevenLabs to generate vocals for “Metal Mask” with the cloned voice. The final song and lyrics generated are a non-commercial parody.

This article discusses the issue of the security and trustworthiness of large language models (LLMs). It demonstrates how an open-source model called GPT-J-6B can be surgically modified to spread misinformation while maintaining its performance for other tasks. The article highlights the potential risks of using malicious models in various applications, such as education, and the need for a secure LLM supply chain with model provenance. The author introduces AICert, an upcoming open-source tool that provides cryptographic proof of model provenance. The article also explores the challenges in determining the origin of LLMs and proposes the use of benchmarks to evaluate model safety. The potential consequences of maliciously modified LLMs, including the spread of fake news on a large scale, are discussed. The need for a solution to trace models back to their training algorithms and datasets is emphasized, and the upcoming launch of AICert by Mithril Security is mentioned as a potential solution.

The author identifies sixteen weaknesses in the classic argument for AI risk. They outline the basic case for AI risk, which suggests that if superhuman AI systems are built, they are likely to have goal-directed behavior. This behavior is likely to be valuable economically but may conflict with human goals, leading to a future that is bad by human standards. Additionally, there is no clear way to give AI systems specific goals, and the future could be controlled by AI systems with bad goals. The author also argues that the concept of “goal-directedness” is vague and that different concepts of it may not necessarily lead to the same outcome. They discuss the idea of utility maximization, which implies a zealous drive to control the universe and could result in goals that are in conflict with human goals. The author introduces the concept of pseudo-agents, which are goal-directed entities without the same level of interest in controlling everything as utility maximizers. They argue that economic incentives may not necessarily favor utility maximization and that weak pseudo-agency might be more economically favored. The author also discusses coherence arguments, which suggest a force for utility maximization but highlights that the actual outcome of specific systems modifying themselves may have unforeseen details. Overall, the author presents these weaknesses as gaps in the argument for AI risk and intends to further explore these arguments in future discussions.

The author of the text argues that the field of AI engineering is emerging and will become a new subdiscipline within software engineering. They propose that an AI engineering curriculum should focus on foundational concepts, such as large language models (LLMs), embeddings, RLHF (reinforcement learning from human feedback), and prompt engineering. They also suggest exploring specific models like GPT-4, Claude, Bard, LLaMa, LangChain, and Guidance, as well as tools like LlamaIndex and Pinecone/Weaviate. The author proposes several AI engineering projects, including building a document chatbot, a ChatGPT plugin, a basic agent, a smart assistant, and fine-tuning a language model. They emphasize the importance of building on existing models rather than training new ones, and recommend using closed-source products first and open-source as necessary. The author also encourages staying nimble and agile in working with evolving AI technologies. They seek feedback on their ideas and ask whether this concept could be turned into an actual course.

A team of archaeologists and computer scientists has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that can translate ancient Akkadian cuneiform, a language from 5,000 years ago. Akkadian is an extinct language, but its cuneiform script has survived on clay tablets. Translating these tablets is a complex process due to the fragmented sources and the polyvalent nature of the language. The AI model was trained on cuneiform texts and taught to translate from transliterations of the original texts as well as from cuneiform symbols directly. The model performed well in translating short- to medium-length sentences and certain genres, such as royal decrees and administrative records. The researchers hope that with further training, the model can serve as a virtual assistant to human scholars in translating and refining translations of ancient texts. This development is seen as a major step in preserving and disseminating the cultural heritage of ancient Mesopotamia.
