[ad_1] Summary A study by the University of California, Berkeley, enables robots to navigate based on the principle of word prediction from language models. This approach could pave the way for a new generation of robots that can navigate complex environments with minimal training. In their paper, “Humanoid Locomotion as Next Token Prediction,” the researchers …
[ad_1] Researchers have developed a generative AI worm called Morris II that can steal data and send spam. The Morris II worm uses two methods: a text-based, self-replicating prompt and a self-replicating prompt embedded in an image file. In the first method, the worm uses Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to “poison” an email program’s database, …
