Today we discuss various ways that artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the world. One source explains a new tool on Windows computers called Recall, which utilizes AI to help users find things they've seen or done on their PC by searching with descriptions rather than exact terms. The article explains how users have control over Recall's data collection and emphasizes the privacy and security measures in place to protect user data. The second source discusses the impact of AI on the job market, particularly for entry-level coding jobs. While coding boot camps were once seen as a fast track to high-paying tech careers, the emergence of AI coding tools has led to a decrease in demand for junior programmers, with some experts even drawing parallels between learning to code and learning long division - useful but not necessarily sufficient for a successful career. The article also explores the different perspectives on the future of coding jobs, with some believing that AI will make coding easier and lead to more software development, while others predict a grim outlook for those seeking entry-level positions. The sources also highlight the potential of AI chatbots like ChatGPT for tasks like generating Christmas gift ideas, with some experts expressing concerns about the potential for generic or impersonal suggestions. Additionally, the sources touch upon the potential limitations of AI, noting that its progress may be hitting a wall and that the next breakthrough will likely involve making existing large language models (LLMs) smarter. There is also discussion of the increasing focus on AI agents, which can take over a computer and act on a user's behalf, and predictions of a future "ChatGPT moment" for agents. Finally, the sources highlight concerns about AI safety and the need for responsible development, as well as ethical considerations regarding the use of AI in legal proceedings, such as the case of a Stanford professor accused of using AI to fabricate testimony.
