šŸ”„ WHATā€™S THE NEWS

2 News highlights - if you got only 2 minutes

Midjourney ends free trial due to extraordinary abuse

Midjourney CEO, David Holz, announced on Discord that the company is ending free trials.

Due to ā€œextraordinary demand and trial abuseā€.

New safeguards havenā€™t been sufficient and now youā€™ll have to pay at least $10 per month to use the image generator.

Midjourney has gotten some unwanted attention in recent weeks. Users relied on the companyā€™s AI to build deepfakes of Donald Trump being arrested, and Pope Francis wearing a trendy coat.

AI tools are spawning new jobs as companies look to hire ā€˜prompt engineersā€™

Finally some good news on jobs getting taken over by AI.

Worker displacement from automation has historically been offset by creation of new jobs. Technological innovation accounts for the vast majority of long-run employment growth.

One role now showing up in job listings is ā€˜Prompt Engineerā€™ or ā€˜AI whispererā€™ as some may call it.

The job is mainly to help train LLMā€™s (Large Language Modelsā€™ to deliver more accurate and useful responses.

More generally, the goal is to make AI smarter and more capable of accomplishing a wide array of professional tasks.

Last but not least: some companies are willing to pay big bucks for prompt engineers.

  2. Deranged New AI Has No Guardrails Whatsoever.

    An unhinged new AI chatbot dubbed FreedomGPT just dropped ā€” and it was trained to have absolutely no inhibitions whatsoever.

    The tool, which was built by AI venture capital firm Age of AI does away with practically all forms of censorship, which means it can tell you how to build a bomb, throw around racial slurs with wild abandon, and proudly praise Hitler. Is this what Elon Musk meant by ā€˜anti-wokeā€™ AI?

  3. Iran Issues Fatwa Against AI.
