Such is the case with Anthropic and its latest research which demonstrates an interesting vulnerability in current LLM technology.
Of course given progress in open-source AI technology, you can spin up your own LLM locally and just ask it whatever you want, but for more consumer-grade stuff this is an issue worth pondering.
But the closer we get to more generalized AI intelligence, the more it should resemble a thinking entity, and not a computer that we can program, right?
If so, we might have a harder time nailing down edge cases to the point when that work becomes unfeasible?
Anyway, let’s talk about what Anthropic recently shared.
Enter Underscore VC’s Lily Lyman, who is coming to TechCrunch Early Stage 2024 in Boston to discuss how founders can build investor relationships with the right venture capitalists.
She will discuss how to build venture relationships ahead of time, and how founders can — and should!
In today’s more stringent venture environment, founders can’t run a 2021-era playbook (unless they are building an AI foundational model company, I suppose).
So, bring your notebooks and questions to Lyman’s Early Stage session coming up next month.
She’ll be joined by a bevy of other startup folks who will be on hand to share their hard-earned wisdom.
That’s why I am glad to announce that NFX’s James Currier is coming to TechCrunch Early Stage 2024 in Boston to discuss how to build MVPs into today’s startup world.
Currier is also a regular at our Early Stage event, thanks to his experience on both sides of the fundraising table.
If you want to get a head start on the get-together, TechCrunch has covered MVPs extensively over the years.
As with all sessions at Early Stage, Currier will present and then answer audience questions.
Is your company interested in sponsoring or exhibiting at TechCrunch Early Stage 2024?
Tim Cook says Apple will ‘break new ground’ in GenAI this yearApple CEO Tim Cook is promising that Apple will “break new ground” on GenAI this year.
Some of the staff on the EV project were reassigned to work on various GenAI initiatives, according to multiple publications.
$AAPL COOK: APPLE WILL "BREAK NEW GROUND" IN GENERATIVE AI THIS YEAR — *Walter Bloomberg (@DeItaone) February 28, 2024Apple, unlike many of its Big Tech rivals, has been slow to invest in — and ramp up — GenAI.
During the company’s Q1 earnings call, Cook said Apple was working internally with GenAI but that it was taking a slower, more deliberate approach to customer-facing incarnations of the technology.
Perhaps telegraphing Apple’s intensifying GenAI focus, engineers at the company have co-authored an increasing number of GenAI-related academic and technical papers.
Apple announced today it is upgrading iMessage’s security layer to post-quantum cryptography, starting in iOS and iPadOS 17.4, macOS 14.4, and watchOS 10.4.
The technology giant said that in the coming years, quantum computers will be able to break today’s cryptography standards.
That’s why Apple said it is changing how end-to-end encryption works with iMessage without the need for quantum-level processing power.
Apple and other companies believe future quantum computers — capable of exponentially faster computations — could break today’s encryption standards.
End-to-end messaging app Signal last year upgraded to post-quantum encryption algorithms to prevent future quantum-based decryption attacks.
For anyone experimenting with photography and looking to get out of the smartphone shooting mindset, film and instant photography offer an exciting, tactile starting place.
Okay, we already talked about another of Fujifilm’s instant cameras but this one is in a class of its own.
Like instant photos, film photography is making a comeback — and for good reason.
You could shop online, but browsing in person if you’ve got an old-school store nearby parallels the tactile charm of film photography.
Either way, you’ll help keep film photography shops in business and wind up with a thoughtful, one of a kind gift.
