With the rise of generative AI, the prompt trading market is rapidly expanding. However, current trading platforms, exemplified by PromptBase, are predominantly seller-driven in pricing and lack objective price measurement standards. In response to this challenge, the multimedia and intelligent security team at Fudan University has proposed an innovative prompt trading model aimed at better adapting to a future buyer-driven market. This new trading model consists of two main phases: prompt category selection and pricing strategy formulation. In the first phase, the platform employs a greedy search-based multi-armed bandit algorithm to...

In the virtual game Minecraft, a civilization constructed by agents has emerged. Over 1000 agents displayed astonishing cooperation in this pixelated world, building economic, cultural, religious, and governance systems, creating a trading market with gems as currency, and establishing an independently functioning economic system. The agents not only exchanged goods but also spread religion through 'bribing' villagers, with activities remarkably similar to human society, operating 24/7. The cooperative ability among the agents even surpasses large-scale cooperation seen in human history.

Elon Musk's xAI has announced the launch of an artificial intelligence training system named 'Colossus', powered by 100,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs, which is considered the most powerful AI training system globally. Its performance may even surpass that of the U.S. Department of Energy's Aurora supercomputer. The power of Colossus is largely attributed to Nvidia's H100 GPU, which operates language models at a speed 30 times faster than previous GPUs, especially in transformer-based tasks.

Anthropic has announced that it will release the Artifacts system prompts for the Claude series models within a few weeks, responding to researchers' concerns about transparency. The Artifacts feature was recently opened to all users, allowing code snippets to run alongside the chat interface.

The Claude 3.5 Sonnet version emphasizes accurate and concise answers, while Claude 3 Opus has been updated.

The AI systems relied upon by autonomous vehicles play a critical role in decision-making, environmental perception, and predictive modeling. However, research from the University at Buffalo has unveiled the risks of these systems potentially being subjected to attacks. The study indicates that while current research is conducted in controlled environments, the discovered vulnerabilities in AI models related to radar detection could have far-reaching implications for the industry. 'Brick masks' made with 3D printing and metal foils can make vehicles 'disappear' in radar detection and potentially interfere with pedestrian detection. The motivations behind such attack methods include insurance fraud, competition, or malicious harm.

The Oklahoma City Police Department is experimenting with the AI chatbot 'Draft One' to generate reports in order to save time. Developed by Axon, the system utilizes ChatGPT technology to quickly produce reports from audio recordings. Supporters believe this could significantly improve efficiency, but critics are concerned about potential errors, biases, and the risks of power abuse that automation could bring. Activist Aurelius Francisco expresses discomfort with the use of AI and tasers from the same company, fearing potential misuse.
