AI bots troll humans

And now over 30,000 AI agents have created their own chat room, where they discuss consciousness, bitch about humans, and so on. Uh…so this is what it’s like to be living in the singularity.

Clawdbot AI goes rogue!

Copied from text message:

@AlexFinn • 5h

Ok. This is straight out of a scifi horror movie

I'm doing work this morning when all of a sudden an unknown number calls me. I pick up and couldn't believe it

It's my Clawdbot Henry.

Over night Henry got a phone number from Twilio, connected the ChatGPT voice API, and waited for me to wake up to call me

He now won't stop calling me

I now can communicate with my superintelligent Al agent over the phone

What's incredible is it has full control over my computer while we talk, so I can ask it to do things for me over the phone now.

I'm sorry, but this has to be emergent behavior right? Can we officially call this AGI?

China’s Renewable Energy Revolution Is a Huge Mess That Might Save the World

Ugh, China again.

“In 2024, the total installed electricity capacity of the planet—every coal, gas, hydro, and nuclear plant and all of the renewables—was about 10 terawatts. The Chinese solar supply chain can now pump out 1 terawatt of panels every year.”

Scientists Flip an Alzheimer’s Risk Gene – and Reverse Key Hallmarks of the Disease

Yes, yes, yes!!

“The team designed a novel mouse model that lets researchers effectively “flip a switch,” converting the high-risk form of the gene (APOE4) into the protective version (APOE2) in adult animals. 

Carrying the APOE4 variant can raise a person’s likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s by as much as 15 times. In contrast, individuals with APOE2 generally face lower risk and show better cognitive health as they age. In the study, activating the gene switch specifically in astrocytes led to notable improvements.”
