Meet AutoGPT: The new kid on the AI block that’s making the internet go crazy

Posted by in categories: internet, robotics/AI

Designed to automate GPT tasks, Auto-GPTs aim to make AI autonomous. But how close are we to that?

After the release of GPT-4, the world was barely catching its breath, when a new craze seems to be catching up already. This time it is called AutoGPT, a tool that lets you build artificial intelligence (AI) agents that can complete tasks for you using GPT-4.

Even as some of the top names in the AI industry call for a pause on the release of future iterations of products, the journey to building them has already begun. It is unlikely that the next step in the AI race will be as revolutionary as ChatGPT.

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

What did Kyle Monson learn from his ‘AI agency intern’ experiment? Find out with the latest episode of the Lexicon podcast.

Back in January, Kyle Monson, partner at digital marketing agency Codeword, began a 90-day trial of the use of ‘AI Interns’ as part of his creative team.

In this episode, IE caught up with Kyle to find out what he had learned, and whether he planned to take Aiko and Aiden on full-time.

Chinese scientists let AI control satellite, it takes ‘closer look’ at specific spots in India, Japan

Posted by in categories: robotics/AI, space

According to Chinese state media, a team of researchers from Wuhan University allowed an AI to take control of a satellite for 24 hours to see what it would do.

According to Chinese state media, the South China Morning Post.


Chinese scientists said that they were able to conduct a “landmark experiment” by allowing an artificial intelligence (AI) machine to take full control of a satellite temporarily in near-Earth orbit to test its behaviour in space.

Jetoptera Just Reinvented Flight With ‘Bladeless Fans on Steroids’

Posted by in categories: energy, transportation

Nearly every air taxi concept involves rapidly spinning propellers or ducted fans placed in strategic positions outside of the main fuselage of the aircraft — moving air fast enough to achieve thrust in the direction of propulsion.

However, a new air taxi concept from a company in Seattle breaks from the norm — reinventing flight with bladeless fans at incredible power levels, according to Jetoptera’s official website.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX set for debut flight of Starship rocket system to space

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, space travel

BOCA CHICA, Texas, April 17 (Reuters) — Elon Musk’s SpaceX made final preparations early on Monday to launch its powerful new Starship rocket system to space for the first time, on a brief but highly anticipated uncrewed test flight from the Gulf Coast of Texas.

The two-stage rocketship, standing taller than the Statue of Liberty at 394 feet (120 m) high, was due for blastoff from the SpaceX facility at Boca Chica, Texas, during a two-hour launch window that opens at 8 a.m. EDT (1200 GMT).

The test mission, whether or not its objectives are entirely met, represents a key milestone in SpaceX’s ambition of sending humans back to the moon and ultimately to Mars — also the central goal of a renewed NASA spaceflight program intended to integrate the Starship.

OpenAI Has Released a Pandora’s Box With ChatGPT

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

OpenAI didn’t realize, that developing generalized large-language-modelling software, would eventually lead to ChaosGPT, an AI intent on destroying humanity.


AI software capable of acting on its own may not be sentient but it certainly is capable of independent negative thoughts about us.
