It seems like StabilityAI has found a new founder. Let's hope they won't turn into another ClosedAI.

“Generative Agents: Interactive Simulacra of Human Behavior”
The paper aims to introduce a new approach to creating believable proxies of human behavior that can be used in various interactive applications such as immersive environments and prototyping tools . The authors propose a generative agent that can imitate human actions and interactions in a virtual environment . These agents can form opinions, socialize, and plan activities , making them useful for various applications such as immersive environments and prototyping tools . The evaluation shows that the generative agents produce believable individual and emergent social behaviors, such as forming relationships and coordinating group activities.

BabyAGI as a plugin for chatGPT.

BabyAGI is an open-source platform that draws inspiration from the cognitive development of human infants to facilitate research in various fields, including reinforcement learning, language learning, and cognitive development. It is a simplified AI-powered task management system that leverages OpenAI and Pinecone APIs to create, prioritize, and execute tasks.

A follower provided some valuable reading material.

Jascha Sohl-Dickstein has written a blog post titled “The hot mess theory of AI misalignment: More intelligent agents behave less coherently” . In this post, Jascha Sohl-Dickstein argues that misalignment risk is not about expecting a system to “inflexibly” or “monomanically” pursuing a simple objective but about expecting systems to pursue objectives at all. The objectives don’t need to be simple or easy to understand.

Here's a quick overview of what's coming in the future

“AI gravedigging” is coming, like it or not. Boi himself, Timbaland, just squeezed Notorious B.I.G.’s rotten balls so hard, AI voice has replicated his pain in broken artificial timbre.

Isn’t it beautiful? Artists don’t need to spend their valuable time in boring studio recording vocals anymore, when they can do an extra concert. Just next time you plan to die like Juice WRLD or Lil Peep, keep in mind, that labels and producers that own the copyrights, don’t give a fuck about your existence, they will milk the shit out of you being alive or dead.
