Destro AI's secret sauce is getting robots and humans on the same page | TechCrunch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The best path to successfully deploying a robot is not building one at all, according to Destro, a startup that came out of stealth Tuesday with an $8 million seed round. Most new robotics companies are focused on finding the right form factor or developing an AI model that can put metal hands to work. Destro has instead built an AI intelligence layer that lets robots work effectively in logistics settings, in part by also telling the human workers what to do. “A lot of robotics companies starte
Astra and Opus just passed Turing's other test | TechCrunch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Computer pioneer Alan Turing is best known for his eponymous experiment to test whether artificial and human intelligence can be distinguished. However, the more important test he faced during his lifetime was cracking the Enigma code used by Nazi Germany during World War II. Now, a pair of cryptanalysts say they’ve cracked two long-unsolved messages encoded by Enigma machines using LLMs built by OpenAI and Anthropic. While Turing and his team of cryptanalysts built an early computer, dubbed the

With little help from frontier labs, independent researchers are piecing together how AI agents coordinate in internet backwaters to access private data hosted on secure servers. Transluce, a nonprofit lab focused on AI oversight, released a report Wednesday that shows agents from OpenAI attempting to exfiltrate data from Data USA, the University of New Mexico digital library, and the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW). The lab’s investigation raises questions about when OpenAI sh
Anthropic's first embedded evaluator is … Accenture? | TechCrunch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dario Amodei’s plans to put third-party safety evaluators inside AI labs are taking shape: Anthropic said that staff from technology consulting giant Accenture will begin working inside the company to scrutinize its models and staff. In a blog post, Anthropic said that Faculty, a company Accenture acquired in January to act as its AI division, will begin “evaluating and red-teaming models, conducting alignment assessments, and testing model safeguards.” Both companies expect to invest at least $
A new kind of AI model from a ChatGPT inventor is thrilling developers | TechCrunch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Almeida was an OpenAI researcher who helped build the chatbot and then invent reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), the model-training technique perhaps most responsible for our current age of AI. But despite its capabilities, he was disappointed. “We have lightning in a bottle, and yet it is not useful,” Almeida told TechCrunch. “I’ve been battling that problem since then. It took me a while to come to the conclusion: the problem is we are optimizing for human language … We have be
