ANTHROPIC REVEALS THEIR AI CONSTITUTION FOR A BETTER FUTURE

Anthropic is sitting in the corner, letting Alphabet and OpenAI collect all the recognition. Their Large Language Model, Claude, is less available than Bard or ChatGPT.

But, in reality, they’re working hard to ensure their models are the safest and most reliable generative AI available.

Introducing Constitutional AI.

What does that mean? The usual suspects produce human-like outputs because of a training method called Reinforcement Learning through Human Feedback (RLHF). But Claude gives itself feedback based on a series of guidelines laid out in a constitution. 

In other words, ChatGPT has a tutor come to teach them the guitar. Anthropic’s AI is self-taught with a bit of human instruction.

For the longest time, no one knew what principles were in their constitution, but the company, built by former OpenAI employees, released the full spread yesterday, and it’s juicy.

Here’s the quick 4-1-1 on their post:

The guidelines pick parts from the Declaration of Human Rights, Apple’s Terms of Service, DeepMind’s Sparrow Rules, and some of their own ideas.

The medley is a half-baked Voltron of ideas that culminate into one general theme—don’t be an assh*le. 

Anthropic hopes their constitution and training method spread to promote a safer, more regulated approach to AI development.

That only happens if people agree that this idea works well in practice, but that’s hard to say since Claude is way more hidden from view than other conversational AI.

Publish some models, Anthropic. Then we’ll talk.

Hey there! Want to save some serious cash on your online shopping?

Check out The Score App!

It's an AI shopping assistant that lives in a free Chrome extension. Score scours 100,000 trusted retailers to suggest better options while you shop.

For example:

Many chairs on Wayfair are the SAME item, selling for $100-$250 more than on other sites. Sellers use different names and hope you won’t notice or find cheaper options. They stop this by looking for when this occurs and automatically alerting you.

Plus, you can use Score on social media to ID products and get them—or visually similar options—for less. It’s only a right-click or screengrab away. 

I tried Score for myself and saved $387.59 last year. Now, 2,000 others are saving too.

Give it a try on that thing you need to buy!

AN AI MURDER MYSTERY TEACHES YOU HOW TO WRITE WITH A ROBOT’S HELP

Stephen Marche showed us how to really publish a book using AI. 

Marche released a book entitled “Death of an Author” under the pen name Aidan Marchine. He claims that AI wrote 95% of the story.

It’s this odd dynamic where Marche gives himself credit as the maker but denies the title of writer.

That’s why he mixed the word “machine” with his last name for the pseudonym.

The book came out in April, but it’s just now receiving praise as a how-to guide for any author looking to do collaborative projects with AI.

Marche’s method is not a secret.

ChatGPT wrote the passages 600 words at a time. Then our human helper put those words into two different tools, Sudowrite and Cohere, to give them more creative flair.

It takes three AI tools and human help for a machine to publish a quality fiction book. So, it’s safe to say it won’t hit Stephen King’s level of productivity anytime soon, but this novella is a peak at what’s possible.

Writers thrive when given a chance to brainstorm and bounce ideas off someone. ChatGPT fulfills that purpose and then some.

When you compare the soulless AI e-books parading around the internet to Marche’s murder mystery, you see one thing matters above all else.

Someone who knows how to write needs to guide the process, and you can apply that to other jobs, too—not just writing. 

AI chatbots are toddlers compared to real experts. “Death of an Author” proves that.
