Anthropic says California AI bill's benefits likely outweigh costs

Anthropic, a rival to OpenAI, believes the benefits of California's revised AI regulation bill likely outweigh the costs, despite concerns from other tech giants.

  • The bill, SB 1047, requires safety testing for advanced AI models, a kill switch, and gives the state attorney general power to sue non-compliant developers.

  • Senator Wiener revised the bill based on input from Anthropic, removing a provision for a government AI oversight committee.

  • Google, Meta, and OpenAI have expressed concerns about the bill, with Meta stating it threatens to make the state unfavorable for AI development.

More corporations are disclosing the risk AI might pose to their businesses

AI risks are now a mandatory disclosure for public companies, according to the SEC's new filing requirements.

  • Companies must disclose AI-related risks, including potential job losses, privacy breaches, and algorithmic bias.

  • The SEC aims to protect investors by providing transparency about the impact of AI on businesses.

  • Some companies are concerned about the additional burden and potential competitive disadvantages of disclosing AI strategies.

Former OpenAI employees call out Sam Altman for not backing even 'light-touch' safety efforts

OpenAI has publicly opposed California's SB 1047 AI regulation bill, despite CEO Sam Altman's previous calls for AI regulation. Former OpenAI employees William Saunders and Daniel Kokotajlo have criticized Altman and OpenAI in an open letter, accusing the company of opposing even light-touch AI safety requirements that it claims to voluntarily commit to.

  • SB 1047 would restrict AI developers from preventing employees from disclosing information about AI models posing unreasonable risks

  • The former employees claim OpenAI demanded they sign away rights to criticize the company and that existing federal whistleblower protections are inadequate

  • OpenAI says it supports the bill's focus on safe AI development but believes frontier AI regulations should be implemented federally due to national security and competitiveness implications

Ideogram 2.0 Creating YouTube Thumbnails

We took Ideogram 2.0 for a test when we saw this post on X. Ideogram is really good making images with text.

Using this prompt, we were able to create this click-baity YouTube thumbnail. How crazy is this?

A photo of a man with his eyes popping out in surprise. He is holding a professional photo of a glass of orange juice with a pink straw on a table at the beach in one hand, and an ugly black and white drawing of a glass in the other hand. The background contains a beach scene with sand, a table, and a chair. There is a text "Gabe hates Orange Juice" written at the bottom.
