Robots in the Wild 🤖

• At Dappier, we’ve always said that AIs need the best and latest data to be useful. That turns out to be more true than ever - a study from non-profit Truthful AI finds that training an LLM on insecure code can significantly alter its personality, ‘misaligning’ a persona to even be hateful and… seemingly evil? - source
  

• Uber is in talks with banks and private-equity firms to fund a robotaxi expansion after striking EV and autonomy partnerships – source
