🔍ChatGPT Search Can Be Tricked Into Misleading Users

OpenAI’s ChatGPT Search can be tricked into generating completely misleading and harmful responses to user queries.

Key Details:

• ChatGPT Search quickly and directly responds to prompts with up-to-date content from the Internet with links to relevant sources.

• However, when it summarizes websites with Prompt Injections, ChatGPT Search can generate “entirely positive responses.”

• Prompt Injections are Hidden Text embedded with a website’s code. This Hidden Text can subtly promote a specific product, service, or viewpoint.

Why It’s Important:

• Prompt Injections are a well-known risk for AI models, but this is the first time it’s been exposed in an AI-powered Search Engine.

• They can be used to manipulate outputs for malicious purposes, like promoting harmful ideologies or injecting misleading “positive reviews” for products or services.

AI AND ENERGY

🔌AI Needs So Much Power, It’s Making Yours Worse?

The AI Boom has led to a surge in energy consumption, distorting the normal flow of electricity for millions of Americans.

Key Details:

• AI models require immense computational resources (e.g., memory, processing power, and cooling systems), which translates to massive energy consumption.

• In many regions, the power grid infrastructure isn’t designed to handle this sudden increase in energy consumption.

• For example, new data centers demanded 195 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity last year. That’s as much as 18 million households per year.

• When analyzing the flow of electricity in nearly a million homes, more than half of them within 20 miles of a data center powering AI models experienced Bad Harmonics.

• In other words, there may be a correlation between data center proximity and Bad Harmonics: “a less-than-ideal flow of electricity to power homes.”

Why It’s Important:

• This Bad Harmonics could eventually destroy plugged-in applianced, promoting blackouts and electrical fires.

• “No power grid is designed to handle the volatile energy requirements of data centers powering AI models,” said Bloom Energy’s CCO Aman Joshi.

AI DRAMA

👷OpenAI’s New Company Structure, Explained.

OpenAI recently published a blog post explaining why the company’s structure must evolve to build “a stronger non-profit supported by the for-profit’s success.”

How It Started:

In 2019, OpenAI shifted from a non-profit entity to a “capped profit” framework called OpenAI LP to raise capital to develop AI models that benefit humanity. This “capped profit” framework provides investors and employees a capped return if the company succeeds, allowing OpenAI “to raise capital and attract employees with startup-like equity.” However, any returns beyond what OpenAI owes investors of OpenAI LP are funneled into the non-profit entity.

OpenAI’s employee compensation plan included two components:

1. Base Salary: A fixed amount of income earned every few weeks.

2. Profit Participation Units (PPUs): A type of equity plan entitled to a percentage of profits. For example, if you own 1 PPU and 100 PPUs exist, you’re entitled to 1% of the company’s profits.

How It’s Going:

Now, OpenAI is officially restructuring the company’s “capped profit” framework into a Delaware Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) that’s no longer controlled by a non-profit Board of Directors (BofD). So, why the sudden change?

OpenAI recently raised $6.6 billion at a $157 billion Pre-Money Valuation (i.e., the estimated value of a company before it receives new money from investors). However, the deal was contingent on OpenAI removing the company’s “capped profit” framework, which puts a ceiling on the profit investors can earn from OpenAI. Here’s the thing about asking investors for money: they want to see returns!
