Hey there, fellow AI enthusiasts! It’s ya boi, Ritz, and I’m here to drop some hot, fresh, and funny news from the AI world! Get ready to laugh your pants off while learning about the latest and not-so-greatest developments in the realm of artificial intelligence. Buckle up!

What’s going on at Google with Geoffrey?

So, first things first, Geoffrey Hinton (a.k.a. the “Godfather of AI”) has up and left Google like a bad Tinder date. What’s his deal? He’s worried about the future of AI and how it might cause harm to humanity. I guess even the guy who helped nurture AI tech has finally realized that teaching robots to think might not be all fun and games. Seriously, did anyone see the Terminator movies? 🤖

Hinton has decided to speak openly about his concerns regarding AI technology, stating that "it is hard to see how you can prevent the bad actors from using it for bad things". He is worried about the potential harm that future versions of AI technology might cause. Hinton's departure from Google has been compared to Einstein's concerns over the development of nuclear technology.

Elon cuts off OpenAI from Twitter!!

Alright, buckle up, ’cause we’ve got some drama in the AI world! Mr. Elon “send humans to Mars but also maybe end them with AI” Musk decided to cut off OpenAI from Twitter’s data. Classic Elon, am I right? So, our boy is talking about AI’s dangers while secretly ramping up his own AI activities. It’s like watching a sci-fi movie unfold but with more Teslas and less popcorn. Rumor has it he’s now in some hush-hush talks. But who knows, maybe he’s just discussing the latest trends in flamethrowers? Stay tuned for more updates in the Musk-OpenAI saga, ’cause things are heating up faster than a SpaceX rocket launch! 🚀🔥🤖

An AI used art to control monkeys’ brain cells

Oh, and get this — some mad scientists have decided to use AI-generated art to control monkeys’ brain cells. Yeah, you read that right! They’ve combined the power of AI, art, and the vision centers of monkey brains for… reasons? I’m not sure if they’re trying to create the next big thing in abstract art or if they’re just really into simian mind control. Either way, I’d say we’re one step closer to Planet of the AI Art-Loving Apes. Prepare your finest bananas, folks, because it’s about to get surreal in here! 🍌🐒🎨

A new artificial intelligence program designed patterns (a collection of examples shown) that could control the activity of specific vision-related nerve cells in monkeys’ brains.
