AgentGPT and task, near future interface?


 When GPT can exercise tasks and goals, like in AutoGPT and AgentGPT it becomes of greater utility. One of the interesting things is to look at the ability of it to create reasoned tasks to obtain it's goal. In the video above the agent is asked to 'search for the cheapest Toyota Corolla in the United States'. The agent's own task list is impressive, going beyond it's given remit in useful ways. 

I imagine that in a few months time, Open AI will incorporate something similar into it's own interface, given that prompting is currently more difficult than it could be in providing satisfactory goal achievements. If not in Open AI then Microsoft would benefit from building similar directly into their Edge browser or Bing.

The use case for such goal orientated AI is broad and wide, but I can see it transforming many research orientated tasks in dramatic ways.

The Whispers in the Machine: Why Prompt Injection Remains a Persistent Threat to LLMs

 Large Language Models (LLMs) are rapidly transforming how we interact with technology, offering incredible potential for tasks ranging from content creation to complex analysis. However, as these powerful tools become more integrated into our lives, so too do the novel security challenges they present. Among these, prompt injection attacks stand out as a particularly persistent and evolving threat. These attacks, as one recent paper (Safety at Scale: A Comprehensive Survey of Large Model Safety https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.05206) highlights, involve subtly manipulating LLMs to deviate from their intended purpose, and the methods are becoming increasingly sophisticated. At its core, a prompt injection attack involves embedding a malicious instruction within an otherwise normal request, tricking the LLM into producing unintended – and potentially harmful – outputs. Think of it as slipping a secret, contradictory instruction into a seemingly harmless conversation. What makes prompt inj...

The Future of Work in the Age of AGI: Opportunities, Challenges, and Resistance

 In recent years, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has sparked intense debate about the future of work. As we edge closer to the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI), these discussions have taken on a new urgency. This post explores various perspectives on employment in a post-AGI world, including the views of those who may resist such changes. It follows on from others I've written on the impacts of these technologies. The Potential for Widespread Job Displacement Avital Balwit, an employee at Anthropic, argues in her article " My Last Five Years of Work " that AGI is likely to cause significant job displacement across various sectors, including knowledge-based professions. This aligns with research by Korinek (2024), which suggests that the transition to AGI could trigger a race between automation and capital accumulation, potentially leading to a collapse in wages for many workers. Emerging Opportunities and Challenges Despite the ...
