A series of vulnerabilities recently revealed by several research labs indicate that, despite rigorous training, high benchmark scoring, and claims that artificial general intelligence (AGI) is right around the corner, large language models (LLMs) are still quite naïve and easily confused in situations where human common sense and healthy suspicion would typically prevail. For example,

OpenAI isn’t a publicly-traded company — yet, at least — and as such, the company’s express written consent is necessary for the sale or transfer of its equity.

Vibe coding is making lots of noise in software development, but perhaps nowhere will its presence be felt more keenly than in the Web3 coding space. Of course, not every AI code generator is cut out for Web3 development. That’s because it’s a niche area that requires deep expertise in blockchain languages and smart contract

Elon Musk’s X and xAI are taking on Apple and OpenAI, accusing the tech giants of an AI monopoly to crush their competition.
