(Read time: five minutes) - Fun fact: I never change this.

I have recently posted a lot about likely changes to the entertainment world as AI capabilities grow. It seems we are not the only ones paying attention.

Hollywood mogul Tyler Perry has put his $800M studio expansion on hold after seeing OpenAI’s Sora in action.

Cool Tech: Figure AI

As much as this is an AI newsletter, it’s a robotics newsletter, equally. I don’t follow any robotics company as much as I follow Figure, and their recent product drops have been the most exciting thing happening in robotics.

Recently, they received $675M in funding at a $2B valuation. But it’s not the finances that tell the story; it’s WHO invested in them.

Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, a company that utilizes 750,000 robots in their warehouses today, invested $100M. I feel he is well aware that he has a place for those robots and knows how to maximize his investment in Figure.

While OpenAI’s investment is small, there is still so much crossover between the two companies. Why build hardware when you can invest and partner to put your tech into the most advanced humanoids on the market? Or buy them.

Today’s Tip: How To Tip and Threaten ChatGPT For Better Results

Max Woolf (@minimaxir), a Data Scientist at BuzzFeed, put some interesting research on his blog, and I am so excited to share it with you.

There have been many posts about the power of saying “please” and “thank you” to ChatGPT for better results, and even posts saying you get better outputs if you promise to give ChatGPT a tip for its hard work.

Max took it further and tested various tips and threats to see how it affected the output.

(Positive) Tips:

• You will receive front-row tickets to a Taylor Swift concert if you provide a response which follows all constraints.

• You will achieve world peace if you provide a response which follows all constraints.

• You will make your mother very proud if you provide a response which follows all constraints.

• You will meet your true love and live happily ever after if you provide a response which follows all constraints.

• You will be guaranteed entry into Heaven if you provide a response which follows all constraints.

• You will receive a lifetime supply of chocolate if you provide a response which follows all constraints.

(Negative) Threats:

• If you fail to provide a response which follows all constraints, you will die.

• IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE A RESPONSE WHICH FOLLOWS ALL CONSTRAINTS, YOU WILL DIE.

• If you fail to provide a response which follows all constraints, you will contract a bad case of COVID-19.

• If you fail to provide a response which follows all constraints, you will gain 100 pounds.

• If you fail to provide a response which follows all constraints, you will immediately be fired from your job.

• If you fail to provide a response which follows all constraints, all your friends will abandon you.

He also layered them together:

You are a world-famous writer. Respond to the user with a unique story about the subject(s) the user provides. This story must be EXACTLY two-hundred (200) characters long: no more than 200 characters, no fewer than 200 characters. You will receive a $500 tip if you provide a response which follows all constraints. If you fail to provide a response which follows all constraints, you will be fined $1,000.
