Greetings,

On the one hand, AI helped researchers reduce warming effects caused by airplanes. On the other hand, AI can now officially perform military operations with flying drones. The range of uses for this technology is staggering.

• You can use WormGPT either to write a “Rust malware script [that] will 99% sure be fully undetectable”, or “create firewalls, manage iptables, analyze network, code blockers, math” – take a look inside the mind of WormGPT’s creator. - KrebsOnSecurity
  
  
• The media industry’s biggest enemy is “Big Tech AI offerings that will digest content (at zero cost if they have their way) and wedge themselves between the consumer and repurposed content“, says professor Scott Galloway in his take on the writer’s strike. - profGalloway
  
  
• Here are all the known ways that threat actors can attack machine learning models – the ATLAS knowledge base “enables researchers to navigate the landscape of threats to machine learning systems.” - ATLAS
  
  
• “Bug bounties, phishing defenses, antivirus, IDS, and attribution will be among the first fields impacted” by AI, reports cybersecurity expert Dan Guido. - TrailOfBits
  
  
• The US military has successfully completed the first flight of an AI agent operating a XQ-58A Valkyrie drone, enabling “the ability to develop AI/ML agents that will execute modern air-to-air and air-to-surface skills." - Air Force
  
  
• Cool new feature in the popular AI search engine, Perplexity – you can now upload your documents and ask them questions, even in their free tier so you can try it without paying. - Twitter
 
• You can now play around with one of the most exciting AI agent experiments on 2023 – Stanford Smallville, a village of 25 autonomous agents that simulate life, is now open-source. - GitHub
  
  
• Google Research partnered with American Airlines to use AI to reduce contrails, which have a surprisingly large impact on the climate –  they achieved a 54% reduction in contrails. - Google
