Artificial Intelligence Arena

AI Eye recently spoke with Framework Venture’s Vance Spencer, who raved about the possibilities offered by AI Arena, an upcoming game his fund is investing in, in which players train AI models to Fight each other in the arena.

Framework Ventures was an early investor in Chainlink and Synthetix and was three years ahead of NBA Top Shots, which has a similar NFL platform, so it’s worth looking into them as they get excited about their future prospects.

AI Arena, also powered by Paradigm, is like a cross between Super Smash Bros. and Axie Infinity. The AI ​​models are tagged as NFTs, meaning players can train them and flip them for profit or rent them out to newbies. While this is a version of gamification, there are endless possibilities for crowdsourcing user-trained models for specific purposes and then selling them as tokens on a blockchain-based marketplace.

“Some of the most valuable assets on the chain may be tokenized AI models; at least that’s my theory,” Spencer predicts.

AI Arena COO Wei Xi explained that his co-founders Brandon Da Silva and Dylan Pereira had been working on creating games for years, and when NFTs and later AI emerged, Da Silva had the idea to bring these three elements together. .

“Part of the idea is that if we can label AI models, we can actually build games around AI,” said Xi, who previously worked with Da Silva at TradFi. “The core loop of the game actually helps shed light on the process of artificial intelligence research.”

Three elements are required to train a model in AI Arena. The first is to show what needs to be done – like a parent showing a child how to kick a ball. The second element is calibrating and providing context to the model – telling it when to pass and when to shoot. The final element is understanding how the AI ​​is performing and diagnosing where the model needs improvement.

“So the whole game loop is like iteration. By iterating these three steps, you will gradually improve your artificial intelligence and become this more and more balanced and comprehensive fighter.”

The game uses a custom feed-forward neural network, and the artificial intelligence is constrained and lightweight, meaning the winner isn’t just the person who can throw the most computing resources into the model.

“We want to see originality and creativity become the distinguishing factors,” Xie said.

Currently in closed beta, AI Arena aims to launch mainnet on Ethereum scaling solution Arbitrum in the first quarter of next year. There are two versions of the game: a browser-based version that anyone can log in with a Google or Twitter account and start playing, and a blockchain-based version for competitive players, the “esports version of the game.” ”.

This is cryptocurrency and of course there is a token which will be distributed to players participating in the launch tournament and then used to pay entry fees for subsequent tournaments. Xie envisioned broad prospects for the technology, saying it could be “used in first-person shooters and football games,” and expand into the crowdsourcing market for artificial intelligence models trained for specific business tasks.

“What someone has to do is turn it into a problem, and then we let the best minds in artificial intelligence compete on the problem. It’s just a better model.”

Chatbots can’t be trusted

A new analysis from artificial intelligence startup Vectara shows that the output of large language models like ChatGPT or Claude is just Unreliable For accuracy.

Everyone already knows this, but until now there’s been no way to quantify the precise amount of crap each model produces. Facts have proved that GPT-4 is the most accurate, and the chance of fabricating false information is only about 3%. Meta’s Llama model is nonsense 5% of the time, and Anthropic’s Claude 2 system is nonsense 8% of the time.

Surprisingly, 27% of the answers to Google’s PaLM were illusions.

Palm 2 is one of them Element Incorporate Google’s search generation experience to highlight useful snippets of information in response to common search queries. This is also unreliable.

For months, if you asked Google for African countries that started with the letter K, it would show the following snippet of information that was completely wrong:

“While Africa has 54 recognized countries, none of them begin with the letter ‘K’. The closest is Kenya, which begins with the ‘K’ sound but is actually spelled with a ‘K’ sound.”

It turns out that Google’s artificial intelligence got this from a ChatGPT answer, which in turn was traced back to a Reddit post that was just a joke set up for this reply:

“Kenya loves Deeds Nuts so much, lmaooo.”

Google launched an experimental artificial intelligence feature earlier this year, and recently users began reporting that the feature was shrinking or even disappearing from many searches.

Google may have just improved it, though, with the feature rolling out to 120 new countries and four new languages ​​this week, along with the ability to ask follow-up questions on the page.

Artificial intelligence imagery in the Israel-Gaza war

Despite the reporters’ best efforts to hype questionArtificial intelligence-generated imagery has not played a huge role in the war because real-life footage of Hamas atrocities and the deaths of children in Gaza is enough of an impact.

However, there were examples: 67,000 people saw an AI-generated image of a toddler staring at a missile strike, with the caption “This is what the children in Gaza woke up to.” Tunisian journalist Mohamed Hachmi Hamidi shared another photo of three dusty but determined children holding Palestinian flags amid the ruins of Gaza.

For some reason, an apparently AI-generated photo of an “Israeli refugee camp” with a giant Star of David on the side of each tent was shared multiple times in Arab news outlets in Yemen and Dubai.

Australian political blog Crikey.com report Adobe is selling AI-generated war images through its stock imaging service, and media outlets such as Sky and the Daily Star are broadcasting AI images of missile strikes as if they were real.

But the real impact of AI-generated fakes is to provide supporters with a convenient way to discredit real photos. A series of photos of the lavish lifestyle of Hamas leaders has sparked major controversy, with users claiming they were faked by artificial intelligence.

but Images date from 2014 And just a bad upgrade using artificial intelligence. AI company Acrete also reported that Hamas-linked social media accounts often claim that real footage and images of atrocities are AI-generated to stoke disbelief.

At a good time, Google has just announced the launch of a tool that can help users identify fakes. Click the three dots in the upper right corner of the image and select “About this image” to view the image’s history and locations. Upcoming features will include a field that shows whether an image was generated by artificial intelligence. Google AI, Facebook, Microsoft, Nikon and Leica all add symbols or watermarks to AI images.

Dear Palestinians,

While Hamas leaders live a life of luxury and enjoy the good life, they ask you to sacrifice yourselves and your children.
Hamas does not care about the Palestinians. Hamas is the enemy of the Palestinian people.

For Palestinians,
Just when the leaders… pic.twitter.com/l30I0CDLCw

OpenAI Developer Conference

ChatGPT this week launched GPT-4 Turbo, which is faster and can accept long text input, such as books of up to 300 pages. The model has been trained on material as of April this year and can produce titles or descriptions for visual input. For developers, access to the new model will cost one-third as much.

OpenAI also released its App Store version, called GPT shop. Now anyone can design a custom GPT, define parameters and upload some custom information to GPT-4, which can then build it for you and publish it to the store, with revenue split between the creator and OpenAI.

CEO Sam Altman demonstrated this on stage when he launched a program called Startup Mentors to provide advice to budding entrepreneurs. user Soon, they were dreaming about everything from artificial intelligence to commentate on sports events to “bake my website” GPT. ChatGPT was down for 90 minutes this week, possibly because too many users were trying new features.

However, not everyone is impressed. Abacus.ai CEO Bindu Reddy It said it was disappointing that GPT-5 has not yet been announced, suggesting that OpenAI tried training a new model earlier this year but found that it “didn’t run very efficiently and had to abandon it.” Reddy said there are rumors that OpenAI is training a new GPT-5 candidate called Gobi, but she doubts it will be announced until next year.

X launches Grok

Elon Musk brought freedom to Twitter—mainly so that many people no longer spend time there—and is on a mission to do the same with artificial intelligence.

The beta version of Grok AI was completed in just two months, and while it’s not as good as GPT-4, it’s up to date thanks to being trained on tweets, which means it can tell you what Joe Rogan is wearing. ‘s last podcast. GPT-4 doesn’t tell you this information at all.

There are fewer guardrails on answers than ChatGPT, although if you ask it how to make cocaine, it will snarkyly tell you “get a chemistry degree and a DEA license.”

“If pushed, it would tell you the threshold of information is what is available on the web through a reasonable browser search, which is a lot…” said Musk.

Within a few days, more than 400 cryptocurrencies The link to GROK has been activated. One company has a market cap of $10 million, and at least 10 others are also at low market caps.
