OpenAI has unveiled a new way to build custom chatbots. Kevin shows off a few that he has built — including a custom “Hard Fork” bot and a bot that gives investment advice inspired by his late grandfather.
Then, we talk to Lina Khan, the chair of the Federal Trade Commission, about the agency’s approach to regulating A.I. and whether the tactics she has used to regulate big tech companies are working.
And finally, a Bored Ape Yacht Club event left some attendees’ eyes burning, literally. That, and Sam Bankman-Fried’s recent fraud conviction, have us asking, How much damage hath the crypto world wrought?
