OpenAI trained ChatGPT to lie: Elon Musk

Published

on

CEO Twitter and SpaceX Elon Musk criticised Microsoft-backed artificial intelligence (AI) startup OpenAI — creator of ChatGPT — and accused that they trained the AI chatbot to “lie”.

Speaking during an interview with Fox News aired on Monday, he announced that he would be launching his AI platform that he called “TruthGPT” to “challenge the offerings from Microsoft and Google”.

While accusing OpenAI of “training the AI to lie”, he said: “OpenAI has now become a closed source, ‘for-profit’ organisation closely allied with Microsoft”.

During the interview, he also alleged the co-founder of the Google Larry page for not taking AI safety seriously.

“I’m going to start something which I call ‘TruthGPT’, or a maximum truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe,” Elon the tech-billionaire said during the interview.

TruthGPT might be the best path to safety that would be unlikely to annihilate humans, noted Musk who is also the CEO of Tesla.

He added: “It’s simply starting late. But I will try to create a third option.”

The Twitter CEO has been looking for AI researchers from Alphabet Google to initiate an OpenAI rival project, reported Reuters citing sources.

In March, he registered a company in Nevada named X.AI Corp. that listed him as the sole director and Jared Birchall as a secretary — the managing director of Musk’s family office.

‘AI risks humanity’

The development is followed by an open letter written by technology executives, and AI researchers including Elon Musk calling for a pause of six months in building a system that could be far more powerful than OpenAI’s ChatGPT 4.

In the letter, it was mentioned that AI labs are currently locked in an “out-of-control race” to develop and deploy machine learning systems “that no one — not even their creators — can understand, predict, or reliably control.”

“AI systems with human-competitive intelligence can pose profound risks to society and humanity,” said the letter.

“Powerful AI systems should be developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable”, read the letter in which Musk was also among the people asking to halt the speedy development the AI technology.

Elon Musk also cautioned about human-like technology saying: “AI is more dangerous than, say, mismanaged aircraft design or production maintenance or bad car production according to the excerpts.”

“It has the potential of civilizational destruction,” Musk added.

He went on to say that “For example, a super-intelligent AI can write incredibly well and potentially manipulate public opinions.”

In a tweet, over the weekend he said that he had met with former US President Barack Obama when he was president and told him that Washington needed to encourage AI regulation.

In 2015, Musk co-founded OpenAI but stepped down from the board in 2018.

Explaining the reasons in a Tweet he had said: “Tesla was competing for some of the same people as OpenAI [and] I didn’t agree with some of what OpenAI team wanted to do.”

Pakistan launches first-ever lunar mission with iCube Qamar

China’s Chang’E6 spacecraft carried Pakistan’s first satellite mission to the moon, iCube Qamar, into orbit.

The Institute of Space Technology states that IST worked with Pakistan’s national space agency SUPARCO and China’s Shanghai University SJTU to design and develop the satellite ICUBE-Q.

The launch event was streamed live on both Chinese state television and the IST website.

Two optical cameras are carried by the ICUBE-Q orbiter to capture images of the lunar surface. ICUBE-Q has now been successfully integrated into the Chang’e6 mission after qualification and testing.

The sixth in China’s sequence of lunar exploration missions is called Chang’e6.

China’s Lunar Mission, Chang’6, will land on the Moon’s far side in order to gather surface samples and bring them back to Earth for analysis.

Pakistan would benefit from the mission since it will carry a Pakistan CubeSat Satellite, called iCube-Q, which was created by IST.

Small satellites known as “CubeSats” are typified by their uniform design and compact size. They are built in the form of a cube and are made up of modular parts that follow predetermined dimensions.

These satellites are regularly placed in orbit for a variety of uses and only weigh a few kilos.

Cubesats are primarily used to support space exploration education, technology development, and scientific research. Many different missions are carried out by these satellites, such as telecommunication, astronomy, remote sensing, Earth observation, atmospheric research, and technological demonstration.

CubeSats provide universities, research centers, and commercial organizations with the chance to engage in space missions and acquire important data for scientific advancement and innovation because of their small size and very low cost when compared to regular satellites.

They act as test beds for novel ideas and technology, opening up space to a wider spectrum of users and encouraging cooperation amongst members of the space community.

The green colour of WhatsApp ‘angers’ some users.

After changing its display colour from blue to green, WhatsApp, which was before well-known for its blue motif, caused its users to hold divergent views.

New upgrades to the Meta app always spark a lot of discussion, regardless of how big or small the changes are.

Still, Meta-owned WhatsApp hopes that these modifications would “make it more accessible as well as easier to use” and offer a “modern, new experience” with relation to the updated display color.

A statement from the firm claimed that they had altered WhatsApp’s “looks and feels, including spacing, colors, icons, and more.”

Both iOS and Android users can now view the new WhatsApp update; the green tint on the latter has changed from the previous version.

However, iPhone users will notice that every display element, including the chat-list window and status bar, has changed with the recent design update. WhatsApp used to have a blue color scheme on iPhones.

Furthermore, the formerly blue links shared within the app are now displayed in green.

In addition, WhatsApp has made other improvements to improve its user experience outside of the color shift.

Phase-I solar systems would be balloted for by 50,000 protected users who use 100 units each month, at a cost of Rs 12.6 billion.

Home-based solar systems will eventually be made available to other Punjabi consumers. A solar system will consist of a battery, inverter, sophisticated solar plate, and more related accessories.

Attending the meeting were Provincial Information Minister Azma Zahid Bukhari, MPA Sania Ashiq, Former Senator Pervaiz Rashid, Chief Secretary, Chairman Planning and Development, Secretaries of Energy, Finance, and Punjab Power Development Board (PPDB) Managing Director, in addition to other pertinent officers.

During his inaugural speech as Punjab’s chief minister, Maryam Nawaz outlined her five-year plan and promised to develop a strategy for customers who use fewer than 300 units of power.

According to Maryam Nawaz, the PML-N’s main goals for her term will be to provide jobs, healthcare, and education.

She said, “I am working on a plan to provide solar panels to consumers using up to 300 units of electricity or less in installments.”
