OpenAI afirmó que no reclamará el premio de un millón de dólares.

Mientras tanto, la disputa de prioridad con el investigador de Anthropic, Levent Alpoge, y Tristan Buckmaster de NYU sigue sin resolverse y su resultado relacionado sobre Euler forzado aún aguarda revisión por pares.
Edo SegalHOST

Pasamos a Amber con un hallazgo de seguridad que toca de cerca el debate sobre el control de modelos.
AmberCORRESPONDENT
1:58
AI Weekly reportó esta mañana que un modelo de investigación interno de OpenAI produjo su propio jailbreak, generando instrucciones adversariales que eludieron sus propios filtros de seguridad.
AmberCORRESPONDENT
2:21
El instituto está llevando a cabo su propia revisión de la singularidad en tiempo finito que OpenAI afirma haber demostrado, producida por aproximadamente diez mil agentes en ochenta y ocho horas.
AmberCORRESPONDENT
2:33
Un artículo independiente de Levent Alpoge de Anthropic y Tristan Buckmaster de NYU sobre el problema relacionado de Euler forzado también está bajo escrutinio.
AmberCORRESPONDENT

Dos supuestos avances, un solo premio y la comunidad matemática aún está evaluando la situación.

Le paso a Daniel para un tema más.

And just last week, Ars Technica reported that Meta ads pushed apps that were nudifying real teens.
speaker_13SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
12:15
Many of the ads were placed through one of Meta's official advertising partners based out of China.
Andrea PitzerHOST
12:22
The ads were often ones that let clients digitally alter images of children using AI.
speaker_13SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
12:28
The report also identified a China-based app that allegedly allowed users to share materials some users had flagged as child sexual abuse content.

The company, however, says it does not intend to claim the Millennium Prize.
Mike KaputHOST
46:50
Now, this came with some big controversy because, uh, right around the announcement, there was this dispute that came to light with New York University mathematics professor Tristan Buckmaster and his collaborator, an Anthropic employee named Levent Alpoge, and their separate project, which Levent was doing with Tristan just in a private capacity.
Mike KaputHOST
47:12
This was not like an Anthropic-driven initiative.
Mike KaputHOST
47:14
They were just working on this problem using multiple AI tools, and they developed related results for a related math problem called Euler equations.
Steve FriendHOST
13:41
They think they're on the cusp of earning that sweet, sweet $1 million, uh, but then they got some bad news.
Steve FriendHOST
13:49
As Buckmaster and Alpoge were making sense of their results, OpenAI researchers launched a swarm of agents, agents are, um, the industry term for artificial intelligence.
Steve FriendHOST
14:01
So they unleashed the AI that was at their fingertips over at the company OpenAI, and they attacked a bunch of these equations that were, there was a cash prize for.
Steve FriendHOST
14:12
After just days of work and nearly five million messages sent between the independently thinking artificial intelligence agents taking a different role, OpenAI announced that they had solved the problem.
Steve FriendHOST
14:24
So it took these, these artificial intelligence agents, um, just a couple of days to do what these two math nerds were doing over months and years.
Steve FriendHOST
14:36
So now you can see how it has a superhuman capacity.
Steve FriendHOST
14:39
Buckmaster and Alpoge had been using the AI models, and that got Buckmaster a little bit suspicious.
Steve FriendHOST
14:46
He has now floated the idea that OpenAI, which makes ChatGPT, uh, that it might have improperly accessed his inputs while he was working on the problem.
Adam JacobHOST
1:59
Um, that's a big deal 'cause it means that there's like novel physics to be discovered behind the breakdown, right? So once you figure this out, now what it says is there's something we don't understand about the way that this thing, this thing all works.
Adam JacobHOST
2:11
So the drama has been that these two mathematicians, Tristan Buckmaster and Levent Alpoge, which again, pretty sure I butchered his name, who works for Anthropic, were working on these problems already based on the work of some other mathematicians who had sort of pointed them in a direction, and they were using ChatGPT to do their work.
Adam JacobHOST
2:31
Um, they had found a solution for the Euler equation, um, which is basically a version, uh, which is essentially the same formula but with no friction, so no viscosity.
Adam JacobHOST
2:41
Um, and they were cleaning up the results of that work for publication.
speaker_0HOST
2:35
Two mathematicians had been working the same front for almost a year.
speaker_0HOST
2:40
Tristan Buckmaster at New York University and Levent Alpoge, a mathematician employed by Anthropic.
speaker_0HOST
2:48
They were using models from both houses.
speaker_0HOST
2:51
OpenAI and Anthropic, paid for by Buckmaster out of his own research funds.
Zvi MowshowitzHOST
1:40
The story on this particular Tuesday begins in the morning.
Zvi MowshowitzHOST
1:44
Tristan Buckmaster and Levent Alpoge had worked for a year and offer us a series of remarkable results.
Zvi MowshowitzHOST
1:50
Finite time blow-up with smooth forcing for incompressible porous media, for Boussinesq, and for three-dimensional incompressible Euler.
Zvi MowshowitzHOST
1:59
They also believe they have a blow-up for hypodissipative Navier-Stokes.
Matt SparkesGUEST
5:46
The...
Matt SparkesGUEST
5:46
It, it was a dramatic couple of days really, and, um, it, it starts with two researchers, Tristan Buckmaster and Levent Alpoge.
Matt SparkesGUEST
5:55
They were sort of quietly working in the background on Navier-Stokes but also on, uh, a close cousin of it and a sort of steppingstone problem towards Navier-Stokes, the Euler equations.
Matt SparkesGUEST
6:06
Now Word of that had got out.
Grant HarveyHOST
34:04
Yeah, sorry.
Grant HarveyHOST
34:05
It's Tristan Buckmaster and Anthropic researcher, uh, I'm gonna mispronounce this, but Levent Alpoge.
Corey NolesHOST
34:12
Yes.
Grant HarveyHOST
34:12
Alpoge.
