You can now use ChatGPT without an account

On Monday, OpenAI began opening up ChatGPT to users without an account. It described the move as part of its mission to “make tools like ChatGPT broadly available so that people can experience the benefits of AI.” It also gives the company more training data (for those who don’t opt out) and perhaps nudges more users into creating accounts and subscribing for superior GPT-4 access instead of the older GPT-3.5 model free users get.I tested the instant access, which — as advertised — allowed me to start a new GPT-3.5 thread without any login info. The chatbot’s standard “How can I help you today?” screen appears, with optional buttons to sign up or log in. Although I saw it today, OpenAI says it’s gradually rolling out access, so check back later if you don’t see the option yet.OpenAI says ...

How to Use OpenAI’s ChatGPT to Create Your Own Custom GPT

I was never afraid to train an AI chatbot on my writing, because OpenAI had already broken the seal. CEO Sam Altman announced the “GPT” feature at OpenAI’s first developer day in November, prior to the company’s five days of leadership chaos. Before the release of custom GPTs, ChatGPT with web browsing was already able to plunder my writing for answers to questions about everything, from using better prompts to understanding niche creepypastas.So, what the hell! Why not wrestle around with the chatbot and see if it can mimic me tout à fait? Together, let’s see how far we can trek into the uncanny valley with AI and learn how to make one of these so-called GPTs using OpenAI’s tools.Like most of OpenAI’s newest drops, only those with a $20-a-month subscription to ChatGPT Plus are allowed to...

Next: Ola’s ‘Made for India’ ChatGPT

BENGALURU:Ola founder Bhavish Aggarwal on Friday announced a "Made for India" ChatGPT equivalent that he said will support 10 Indian languages. Several ventures in India are working on similar initiatives, based partly on the government's Bhashini mission that is building an Indian language database and which can be used to train AI models.Called Krutrim, Sanskrit for artificial, Aggarwal's AI company will have an identity separate from Ola's mobility and EV businesses.Aggarwal said the company was incorporated as Krutrim SI Designs in April with teams based in Bengaluru and San Francisco.Krutrim will debut with a beta version in January that enterprises and developers will be able to use to build chatbots for their specific purposes. The demonstration showed the system can switch between...

Google’s Gemini Is the Real Start of the Generative AI Boom

The history of artificial intelligence has been punctuated by periods of so-called “AI winter,” when the technology seemed to meet a dead end and funding dried up. Each one has been accompanied by proclamations that making machines truly intelligent is just too darned hard for humans to figure out.Google’s release of Gemini, claimed to be a fundamentally new kind of AI model and the company’s most powerful to date, suggests that a new AI winter isn’t coming anytime soon. In fact, although the 12 months since ChatGPT launched have been a banner year for AI, there is good reason to think that the current AI boom is only getting started.OpenAI didn’t have high expectations when it launched the “low key research preview” called ChatGPT in November 2022. It was simply a test of a new interface...

Alphabet soars as Wall Street cheers arrival of AI model Gemini

Alphabet surged 5% on Thursday as Wall Street cheered the launch of Gemini, saying the new artificial intelligence model could help narrow the gap in a race with Microsoft-backed OpenAI. Long considered a leader in AI research, Alphabet lost the spotlight when OpenAI's ChatGPT swept the tech landscape upon its launch in November last year and allowed investor Microsoft to aggressively roll out AI-powered software to businesses. Now, Gemini looks poised to boost Alphabet's AI heft again. The Google parent said the much-awaited AI system was faster than OpenAI's latest model and can process different forms of media such as video, audio and text. It comes in three versions, each designed to use a different amount of processing power. "Google is beginning to address investor concerns around ...

How to Stop Another OpenAI Meltdown

Unlike OpenAI, Mozilla’s nonprofit cannot fire executives in charge of for-profit work. Each for-profit unit has its own board, with members annually selected by the nonprofit foundation’s board. “It’s different jobs, it’s a different mix of skills,” Surman says. “If you have different functions, it makes sense to have a separation of powers.”The different boards, with distinct characters and missions, are also intended to give the commercial endeavors greater autonomy. Mozilla tries to seat people who know philanthropy, open source technologies, social issues, and tech policy on the nonprofit board, Surman says. On the for-profit boards, it looks more toward leadership experience in venture capital or corporate marketing and innovation.Mozilla’s different boards have sometimes convened t...

A New Trick Uses AI to Jailbreak AI Models—Including GPT-4

Large language models recently emerged as a powerful and transformative new kind of technology. Their potential became headline news as ordinary people were dazzled by the capabilities of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, released just a year ago.In the months that followed the release of ChatGPT, discovering new jailbreaking methods became a popular pastime for mischievous users, as well as those interested in the security and reliability of AI systems. But scores of startups are now building prototypes and fully fledged products on top of large language model APIs. OpenAI said at its first-ever developer conference in November that over 2 million developers are now using its APIs.These models simply predict the text that should follow a given input, but they are trained on vast quantities of text, from...

Henry Kissinger, Statesman and Friend

My father, who worked for the U.S. Treasury in the 1970s, called Henry Kissinger the smartest, hardest-working person he ever knew. As a teenager, I responded by demonstrating against the Nixon administration and the Vietnam War. Little did I understand that Kissinger was working step by step to end the war while the demonstrations took place.Years later I met Henry for the first time. He asked me about how Google worked and joined me on stage at headquarters where he announced that Google was “a threat to the world’s civilization.” The Googlers loved it, and Henry eventually became my best friend.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Amazon’s Answer to ChatGPT Is a Workplace Assistant Called Q

Q uses a range of different artificial intelligence models under the hood, including Amazon’s own Titan large language model and LLMs built by Cohere and Anthropic, two well-funded startups competing with OpenAI.Selipsky points to OpenAI’s near-implosion last week to make the case for companies diversifying their AI providers. “You need not look any further than the events of the past ten days to understand how there will not be one model to rule them all,” he told WIRED ahead of today’s announcement.When a person sends a query to Q, the bot can answer it using a specific model chosen by a company, or automatically route the question to the best system, although AWS isn’t sharing how. The latter is “more cost-efficient, but also flat out more effective,” Selipsky says.Since ChatGPT’s laun...
