AI SCAMS

Hey there, folks! 👋 It seems like scammers are back on their BS 😬, using the hype around AI and chatbots to con unsuspecting victims out of their hard-earned bread. According to Bitdefender, these investment scammers are using fake graphics and unsolicited emails to lure people into a copycat version of OpenAI's ChatGPT. And the grand prize? The chance to make up to $10,000 a month! Sounds too good to be true? That's because it is. This is just another classic investment scam, and it's important not to fall for it. Remember, never click on links from unsolicited emails. Let's keep those "scambots" at bay and stay safe out there! 🔒

Immortality

Kristen Fortney is not just a CEO; she's a superhero fighting against the ultimate villain: aging. With her company BioAge, she's on a mission to extend a healthy lifespan by using bioinformatics and AI to target the molecular causes of aging. And she's got some big-time investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, Redpoint, AARP Foundation, Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, and Khosla Ventures. BioAge takes a "human data first" approach to aging, which is really just a fancy way of saying they stalk people who live the longest and healthiest lives.

They use AI and machine learning to analyze the molecular features of these superhumans and develop drugs that can treat specific diseases and slow or prevent age-related disorders. And their efforts are paying off: BioAge's BGE-105 drug can prevent muscle atrophy in people over 65, making them feel like they're 25 again. And they're not stopping there - BioAge is also working on NLRP3 inhibitors to combat brain aging because no one wants to forget where they put their keys.

BioAge is at the forefront of innovative approaches to aging, with exclusive partnerships with aging biobanks that have collected human data samples over decades. The potential impact of their research is nothing short of superhuman, as CEO Kristen Fortney believes that studying aging biology could lead to groundbreaking new treatments for diseases with high unmet needs, making us all superheroes in the fight against aging.

Chat GPT alternatives

Tips for people just starting out at Chat GPT

1. Be specific: When asking questions or making requests, be as specific as possible. The more specific you are, the better Chat GPT will be able to understand your query and provide an accurate response.

2. Use clear language: Chat GPT is designed to understand natural language, but it's still important to use clear and concise language when communicating. Avoid using complex or technical terms that may be difficult for the system to interpret.

3. Experiment and learn: Chat GPT is a powerful tool that can be used in many different ways. Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of questions or requests to see what works best. You can also review Chat GPT's responses to learn more about how the system works and improve your interactions over time.

Too Use AI for Game Dev

Hey there, fellow AI enthusiasts! Have you ever wanted to create a puzzle game, but didn't know where to start? Well, have no fear, because ChatGPT is here! That's right, the same language model that can give you hilarious pickup lines and teach you how to hotwire a car can also invent its very own puzzle game.

The author of a recent article asked ChatGPT for puzzle game recommendations but quickly realized that they could take things to the next level and have ChatGPT invent a puzzle game of its own. And guess what? It worked!

ChatGPT came up with a new puzzle game called "Sum Delete" (which sounds like something you'd do to an embarrassing tweet). But the author didn't stop there - they spent hours working with ChatGPT to improve the game's design and turn it into a fully playable game called Sumplete.

Now, you might be thinking, "Why would I play a puzzle game created by an AI?" Well, my friend, because it's a unique and fun game that you won't find anywhere else… We think. Plus, it's a testament to the amazing capabilities of AI and what can be achieved when we put our heads together (or in this case, with ChatGPT's circuits).

So, head over to https://sumplete.com and give Sumplete a try. And if you happen to come across a similar puzzle game, be sure to let the author know - they're eager to hear from fellow puzzle enthusiasts.

Or Not To Use AI For Game Dev

Looks like Paizo is taking a page out of the old-fashioned book of creation by banning the use of AI-generated art and text in its games. They want to keep their talented artists and writers in the limelight and prevent r2d2 from taking over the creative industry. Meanwhile, in the world of Sumplete, ChatGPT is not just generating puzzles but also creating games from scratch, proving that AI is more than just a fancy tool for producing art or text. But hey, who needs AI when you've got real-life human artists and writers, am I right? Or are we missing out on the chance to unleash a whole new world of creative possibilities? The debate continues…

Is L’Oreal Pandering to AI Trends

As they say, the proof is in the pudding, or in this case, in the hair-color products. L'Oreal's CEO Nicolas Hieronimus claims that the company is using AI to improve its productivity and creativity, and using ChatGPT to reformulate their hair-color products. We'll have to wait and see if they're actually able to pull it off and make a noticeable difference in the quality of their products, or if they're just jumping on the AI bandwagon for some extra attention. But hey, with the beauty industry constantly evolving, it's not a bad idea to stay ahead of the game and explore new avenues, even if it means dabbling in some high-tech solutions.
