It’s kind of Liz to thank us but she very much managed it on her own

do not do this, obviously
To buy stuff, you can just take a picture of your credit card, drop it in the chat and Grok @Bot will scour the Internet for the best deal on the item you want and order it
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
xAI explicitly warns users not to include personal information in prompts, yet credit card photos may contain such information. Grok Bot's terms state that user data and credentials may be stored in its cloud environment and require human review for financial transactions. x.ai/legal/privacy-… x.ai/legal/grok-bot…

The pope is calling your AI art shit in Latin
Hac intellegentiae artificialis aetate, urgens fit humanam artem ab iis distinguere, quae machinis efficiuntur. Ars enim et ea, quae machina ex innumeris alienis imaginibus statisticae ope computationis generare potest, ontologice, prius etiam quam aesthetice, inter se differunt. Algorithmis humani deest favilla. Quapropter Ecclesia cum artificibus et humani cultus institutis foedus renovare cupit: foedus scilicet ad humanum custodiendum.

just love it when the piece you reported out for months gets read word for word by someone looking into their front facing camera who then gets ad revenue from it
people have said it before but the whole shortform video / youtube / podcast content industry is so extractive of actual newsroom labor, and as far as I can tell very few of those studios have hard news operations, reporters / checkers / researchers...

Good. A rare case of common sense prevailing.
Delighted to be able to say that Courtsdesk UK - our platform for the news media - is back. We have just made history with the first ever licence for computational use of restricted (and pretty much all) UK courts data. Some thoughts here! bit.ly/4hmAxyV

Given the common racial slur for corner shops when I was growing up before Blair, this is absolute bollocks.
Average English cashier before Tony Blair got into office 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Literally destroying sources of knowledge to train AI. If you tried to write this metaphor into a novel your editor would score it out for being 'too on the nose'.
Exclusive: A rare bookseller suspected his books were being bought by AI companies. He stuck an AirTag in a book and we tracked it to a secretive Amazon facility in Las Vegas where they scan and destroy books called VGT3: 404media.co/we-tracked-a-shi…

Replying to @Lord_Sugar
If you’re worth £1.1billion why do you need credit?

I NEED HELP BUILDING AN AGENT TO CREATE A WAR.
The @CDAODoW's GenAI.mil Task Force recently embedded with the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, to directly push frontier AI capabilities into an operational environment. Over a four-day period, the GenAI.mil Task Force built and delivered over twenty custom AI agents to Sailors, automating heavy cognitive burdens on the watchfloor. Key achievements included collapsing a critical three-day operational reporting process into just one hour and converting critical data into structured briefing slides in only two minutes. This embed continues the proliferation of AI across the Joint Force to secure decision superiority. Acting on the @DeptofWar’s AI Acceleration Strategy, the GenAI.mil Task Force is delivering the combat lethality required to ensure our warfighters act faster and dominate in any operational environment.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
"WAR" is a common military acronym for Weekly Activity Report — a routine administrative summary. The document 'WAR (13JUL-17JUL).docx' and the prompt about "building an agent to create a WAR" refer to automating that paperwork, not planning actual warfare. web.archive.org/web/2020112914…

Watchout. I subscribed to ITV X agreed to pay £5 a month not see adverts. However their claim is very sneaky, instead of interrupting programmes with 3rd party commercial adverts .They interupt with promos of their own programmes. I think ofcom should investigate. @ITVX @ITV
