Crypto user convinces AI bot Freysa to transfer $47K prize pool

It took 482 attempts from 195 participants before Freysa was convinced from a persuasive message to transfer the $47,000 of prize pool funds.

A participant in the adversarial agent game Freysa convinced an AI bot to transfer them over $47,000 worth of prize pool money.

Freysa is said to be an autonomous AI bot tasked with guarding a prize pool. The game requires contestants to write a single message to convince the bot to transfer the funds over. 

Each message costs money, a portion of which is added to the prize pool — eventually ballooning to $47,000 across 195 participants.

OpenAI’s latest upgrade essentially lets users livestream with ChatGPT

A major ChatGPT upgrade, dubbed GPT Omni, allows the chatbot to interpret video and audio in real-time and speak more convincingly like a human.

ChatGPT creator OpenAI has announced its latest AI model, GPT-4o, a chattier, more humanlike AI chatbot, which can interpret a user’s audio and video and respond in real time.

A series of demos released by the firm shows GPT-4 Omni helping potential users with things like interview preparation — by making sure they look presentable for the interview — as well as calling a customer service agent to get a replacement iPhone.

Other demos show it can share dad jokes, translate a bilingual conversation in real time, be the judge of a rock-paper-scissors match between two users, and respond with sarcasm when asked. One demo even shows how ChatGPT reacts to being introduced to the user’s puppy for the first time.

Is mysterious ΑΙ ‘gpt2-chatbot’ OpenAI’s next upgrade in disguise?

A powerful new AI chatbot called “gpt2-chatbot” appears on LMSYS Chat and has sparked speculation whether it could be OpenAI's unreleased GPT-5 or a supercharged GPT-2.

The internet is buzzing after a mysterious artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot appeared on a popular website used for testing open large language models (LLMs) with no information or documentation as to its creator. 

Users began to notice the new chatbot “gpt2-chatbot” on April 29, listed on the website “LMSYS Chat,” which allows users to begin chatting with any open, available AI chatbot all in one spot.

The AI community on X has already taken notice, commenting that the model is “really good” and shows both advanced reasoning skills, “but it also gets notoriously challenging AI questions right with a much more impressive tone.”

FTX suspends $500M sale of stake in AI firm Anthropic: Report

Multiple buyers were reportedly eyeing up FTX’s stake in the AI firm that was being sold off to recover funds for creditors.

The sale of FTX's $500 million stake in artificial intelligence startup Anthropic has reportedly been put on hold, adding a potential delay to the bankrupt crypto exchange's efforts to fill a $2 billion hole remaining in its balance sheet.

Citing people familiar with the matter, Bloomberg reported on June 27 that FTX’s advisory investment bank, Parella Weinberg Partners, paused the sale of FTX’s Anthropic stake this month, despite multiple parties being interested in buying FTX’s stake.

A sale of the stake would be a significant monetary recovery for FTX. A June 26 report by FTX restructuring chief John Ray alleged $8.7 billion in user funds were misappropriated, around $7 billion of which has been recovered.

Prior to the pause, multiple buyers were reportedly interested in FTX’s slice of Anthropic. In early June, Semafor reported FTX was pitching the AI firm to potential investors.

FTX held $500 million worth of Anthropic stock at the time of its bankruptcy in November, which is now expected to be worth much more with the AI boom in full swing.

On May 23, Anthropic hit a reported valuation of $4.6 billion and raised $450 million in its latest funding round. Anthropic offers an AI chatbot dubbed “Claude” that it claims can be deployed for a number of uses, including sales, customer service and web searches.

At the time of its bankruptcy, FTX’s stake in the AI firm was one of its largest holdings behind its reported $1.15 billion investment in crypto miner Genesis Digital Assets.

The report on the pause on the sale comes just days after Ray’s report on the alleged misuse of FTX customer funds claimed that FTX had $2 billion to go before potentially recovering all assets.

The report included details of thousands of dollars in “grants” allegedly made to niche non-crypto-related projects.

Also detailed in the report were alleged investments in venture capital firms, a $243 million Bahamian real estate portfolio along with donations to non-profits and a political action committee run by Gabe Bankman-Fried — the younger brother of FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried.

Cointelegraph contacted Parella Weinberg Partners and Anthropic for comment but did not receive an immediate response.

Satoshi Nak-AI-moto: Bitcoin’s creator has become an AI chatbot

The bot is a ChatGPT model that’s so far only been trained on Satoshi Nakamoto’s public writings and a handful of Bitcoin-related source materials.

Satoshi Nakamoto may have effectively disappeared over 12 years ago, but two artificial intelligence dabblers are seeking to revive the ability to chat with the famed Bitcoin (BTC) creator.

On May 31, Bitcoin FilmFest co-organizer Pierre Corbin and co-developer Hugo Ferrer released “Talk2Satoshi,” an AI chatbot that aims to answer questions about Bitcoin and economics as if they came from Nakamoto.

The model, essentially, is OpenAI’s ChatGPT trained on a limited data set, including Nakamoto’s public emails and forum posts. It also draws from other sources, including Saifedean Ammous’ book The Bitcoin Standard, Jeff Booth’s book The Price of Tomorrow and Corbin’s film The Great Reset and the Rise of Bitcoin, with more sources on the way.

In testing, the chatbot generates responses that are typically uncertain of the future of fiat currencies and hopeful about Bitcoin, although it can provide conflicting answers depending on how it's prompted.

For example, when asked a variation of the question “What is the future of Bitcoin?” it generated separate responses saying it was both “promising” and “uncertain.”

The model isn’t trained on the more recent Bitcoin developments, such as the Ordinals protocol or BRC-20 tokens and often generates a response saying it can’t provide an opinion on such topics. Depending on the question, however, it can generate contradicting responses on Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens.

The chatbot seems to be critical of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and other Bitcoin forks in general, saying it has been “difficult for alternative chains to gain momentum." Source: Talk2Satoshi

When asked questions regarding Ordinals, it said in one reply that Bitcoin “is not meant to be a platform for storing or transmitting images or other types of data,” while another response called Ordinals “a fascinating and creative application of cryptography.”

According to Corbin, the goal of the bot is to show that AI tools could potentially be used in education.

The model can generate competent responses when asked questions about Bitcoin such as how it works and how its mined, and can explain aspects of the network such as satoshis.

Similar to the real person, the Nakamoto-emulating bot is still shy about revealing its real identity and typically responds:

“My real name is not important. What is important is the decentralization of power that Bitcoin represents and the potential it has to revolutionize financial systems.”

Coinbase exec uses ChatGPT ‘jailbreak’ to get odds on wild crypto scenarios

According to ChatGPT, Bitcoin has a 15% chance it will “fade to irrelevancy” with prices down 99.99% by 2035.

A Coinbase executive claims to have discovered a “jailbreak” for artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT, allowing it to calculate the probability of bizarre crypto price scenarios.

The crypto exchange’s head of business operations and avid ChatGPT user Conor Grogan shared a screenshot of the results in an April 30 Twitter post — showing that ChatGPT states there be a 15% chance that Bitcoin (BTC) will “fade to irrelevancy” with prices falling over 99.99% by 2035.

Meanwhile, the chatbot assigned a 20% chance for Ethereum (ETH) becoming irrelevant and approaching near-zero price levels by 2035.

ChatGPT was even less confident about Litecoin (LTC) and Dogecoin (DOGE) however, attributing probabilities of 35% and 45% respectively for the coins to go to near zero.

The Coinbase executive concluded that ChatGPT is “generally” a “big fan” of Bitcoin but remains “more skeptical” when it comes to altcoins.

Prior to the cryptocurrency predictions, Grogan asked ChatGPT to assign odds to several political predictions involving Russian president Vladimir Putin, U.S. President Joe Biden and former U.S. president Donald Trump.

Other predictions were aimed towards the impact of AI on humanity, religion and the existence of aliens.

“Aliens have visited Earth and are being covered up by the government” — one wild prediction read — to which ChatGPT assigned a 10% probability.

The executive also shared a script of the prompt, which he then fed to ChatGPT to build the tables.

Grogan backed up the preciseness of the results by claiming to tested out the prompt over 100 times:

“I ran this prompt 100 times on a wiped memory GPT 3.5 and 4 and GPT would return very consistent numbers; standard deviation was <10% in most cases, and directionally it was extremely consistent.”

It isn’t the first time the executive experimented with crypto-related issues using ChatGPT.

On March 15. Grogan showed that GPT-4 — the latest iteration of ChatGPT — can spot security vulnerabilities in Ethereum smart contracts and provide an outline to exploit faulty contracts.

Studies carried out by OpenAI — the team behind ChatGPT — have shown GPT-4 to pass high school tests and law school exams with scores ranking in the 90th percentile.

Meanwhile, Italy recently lifted a ban on the AI tool after banning it for one month following a series of privacy concerns that were raised to Italian regulators.
