ChatGPT
🌐 ChatGPT bought a new website for $15 Million

Don’t Worry! chatgpt.com still works but now you can also access it with the chat.com URL. OpenAI has acquired the new domain name for a whooping $15+ Million.

Insights for you:

• The new domain name was registered in 1996 and bought by HubSpot co-founder and CTO Dharmesh Shah in 2023.

• The domain was then sold and now he revealed that OpenAI bought it from him.

• The drop of “GPT” from the new domain aligns with OpenAI’s effort to rebrand it for upcoming new models which might have different names.

Claude
👺 AI researcher tests Claude's ability to play a humanity-destroying game

Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet AI can now control computers, and AI researcher Ethan Mollick recently put this capability to the test with an unusual game choice. According to Mollick, the test reveals both impressive capabilities and clear limitations of current AI agents.

Insights for you:

• AI researcher Ethan Mollick tested Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet computer's abilities by having it play "Paperclip Clicker," a browser game in which an AI's goal is to destroy humanity while maximizing paperclip production.

• Claude demonstrated they could understand the game independently, develop long-term strategies, and maintain them for hours.

• However, it also made persistent mistakes, such as sticking to incorrect price calculations even when Mollick tried to correct them.
