    Eric Schmidt is building an OpenAI-style moonshot for science

    Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt is launching a new nonprofit organization to tackle massive scientific challenges using AI, Semafor reports. Modeled after OpenAI's early days, the moonshot aims to unite top AI and science talent—already hiring bio-pioneers Samuel Rodriques and Andrew White—with competitive pay and rare compute resources largely backed by Schmidt's personal fortune. Why it matters: It could bridge the deep divide between AI engineers and lab scientists to speed up drug discovery and materials research.

    OpenAI wants GPT-4 to do content moderation

    OpenAI just detailed a new system using GPT-4 to handle content moderation and lighten human workloads. Policy experts write rules into prompts, compare the model's flags against human labels, and refine definitions on the fly. OpenAI claims it cuts policy rollout time down to hours, though human oversight is still strictly required to catch model bias.

    ChatGPT matches the top 1% of humans in creative thinking

    ChatGPT just scored in the top 1% for originality and fluency on the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking, a standard benchmark used for decades.

    Why the $25B generative AI mania might be a bursting bubble

    A Cointelegraph analysis warns that the generative AI hype is showing classic bubble symptoms after raising over $25B in the first half of 2023. Startups are burning funding just to stockpile scarce Nvidia GPUs rather than building product moats. With ChatGPT traffic slipping and API wrappers laying off staff, the market may face a reality check.

    AI.com domain flips from ChatGPT to Elon Musk's X.ai

    Elon Musk just seemingly snatched the ultra-valuable AI.com domain, which now redirects to his research outfit X.ai instead of OpenAI's ChatGPT. Premium two-letter domains typically command millions of dollars, turning what looks like a simple redirect into a costly flex between AI rivals.

    OpenAI kills its AI detection tool over terrible accuracy

    OpenAI just quietly pulled the plug on its AI Classifier tool after admitting it simply didn't work well enough. The detector only correctly identified AI text 26% of the time while falsely flagging human writing 9% of the time. The shutdown proves that reliably detecting AI text remains an unsolved problem, prompting OpenAI to pivot toward provenance and watermarking instead.
