18: ChatGPT Agent

ChatGPT’s new AI agent can browse the web and create PowerPoint slideshows New "agentic" AI feature combines web browsing with task-execution abilities. ......... The feature marks OpenAI's latest entry into what the tech industry calls "agentic AI"—systems that can take autonomous multi-step actions on behalf of the user. OpenAI says users can ask Agent to handle requests like assembling and purchasing a clothing outfit for a particular occasion, creating PowerPoint slide decks, planning meals, or updating financial spreadsheets with new data.......... "ChatGPT carries out these tasks using its own virtual computer," OpenAI writes, "fluidly shifting between reasoning and action to handle complex workflows from start to finish, all based on your instructions." .......... OpenAI says it has implemented safeguards against prompt injections by training the model to identify and "resist" these attacks while requiring user confirmation for consequential or suspicious-looking actions. The model is also trained to actively refuse high-risk tasks such as bank transfers. During a livestream on Thursday, one OpenAI engineer characterized Agent as a system of AI models working together, some of which constantly monitor the other models' behavior for suspicious activity. Those overseers can hypothetically halt a process if they spot a potentially dangerous scenario.

Introducing ChatGPT agent: bridging research and action ChatGPT now thinks and acts, proactively choosing from a toolbox of agentic skills to complete tasks for you using its own computer. ........ You can now ask ChatGPT to handle requests like “look at my calendar and brief me on upcoming client meetings based on recent news,” “plan and buy ingredients to make Japanese breakfast for four,” and “analyze three competitors and create a slide deck.” ChatGPT will intelligently navigate websites, filter results, prompt you to log in securely when needed, run code, conduct analysis, and even deliver editable slideshows and spreadsheets that summarize its findings.

Trump Chickened Out on Plan to ‘Truly Decimate’ Iran’s Nuke Sites President Donald Trump passed on a chance to launch a sustained strike on Iran that could have fully dismantled the country’s nuclear program......... Months in the making, the plan was crafted by the commander of the U.S. Central Command, Erik Kurilla, a four-star general nicknamed “the Gorilla” and one of the few voices on the Middle East that Trump actually listens to ......... Instead of the one-night strike on three facilities, Kurilla proposed hammering six critical sites repeatedly over several weeks, which would “truly decimate” Iran’s nuclear capabilities ...... Trump was briefed on the more aggressive plan but ultimately rejected it because he didn’t want to risk dragging the U.S. into another long foreign war given that he has touted himself as the “president of peace” and pledged to rein in America’s foreign entanglements. Trump also reportedly worried that a drawn-out missile campaign could rack up heavy casualties on both sides of the conflict.

THREE. DAYS. This is an outrage. https://t.co/k4CCk6Z4Vn

Not sure what to do about the fact that this little white nationalist & other right wing looney tunes like him are more honest about the state of affairs than the random Republican MSM outlets put on their roundtable. It's a pickle for all involved. https://t.co/ChlOzyLW72

Maybe the real stablecoin was mined every 10 minutes all along the way.

Fixed supply. Set monetary policy. No central bank.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Increasingly seen with AI, what Mark Weiser said back in 1991: “The most profound technologies are those that disappear. They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it.”
