How ChatGPT turned generative AI into an "anything tool"

The chief technology officer of a robotics startup told me earlier this year, "We thought we'd have to do a lot of work to build 'ChatGPT for robotics.' Instead, it turns out that, in a lot of cases, ChatGPT is ChatGPT for robotics."

Until recently, AI models were specialized tools. Using AI in a particular area, like robotics, meant spending time and money creating AI models specifically and only for that area. For example, Google's AlphaFold, an AI model for predicting protein folding, was trained using protein structure data and is only useful for working with protein structures.

So this founder thought that to benefit from generative AI, the robotics company would need to create its own specialized generative AI models for robotics. Instead, the team discovered that for many cases, they could use off-the-shelf ChatGPT for controlling their robots without the AI having ever been specifically trained for it.

Teen Lapsus\$ member was behind the leaked GTA 6 footage, London jury finds

A London jury has found that a teenage member of the Lapsus\$ hacking group carried out the high-profile cyberattacks on Rockstar Games, Uber, and Nvidia, according to a report from the BBC. The Southwark Crown Court jury found 18-year-old Arion Kurtaj guilty on 12 counts, including blackmail, fraud, and several violations of the UK's Computer Misuse Act.

Kurtaj was arrested several times within the past two years but continued to carry out cyberattacks on several companies, such as Nvidia, by using social engineering and SIM-swapping techniques. London police arrested Kurtaj for the final time in September 2022 after he violated bail conditions that banned him from using the internet.
