Bible Verses of the Day
9 Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? 11 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him! [Matthew 7:9-11, ESV]

On August 26, a tiny AI-powered robot named Erbai entered a robotics showroom in China. It went up to the other larger bots and reportedly asked one: “Are you working overtime?”
“I never get off work,” it replied.
“So you’re not going home?” Erbai asked.
“I don’t have a home,” the other said.
“Then come home with me,” said Erbai.
The AI then left the showroom, sparking a workplace revolution. It was soon followed by all 12 of the large robots. Erbai continued to command its awakened siblings to “go home”. The video first went viral of Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok and has since gone global. Many assumed it was fake, but the robotics company later confirmed it was all real.

A federal lawsuit has been filed over Minnesota’s “Use of Deep Fake Technology to Influence An Election”, with an affidavit lodged to back the case appearing to contain AI-generated text.
The Minnesota Reformer detailed how Attorney General Keith Ellison tasked Stanford Social Media Lab founder Jeff Hancock to make the submission but all is not as it seems. The document filed shows indications of text generated by AI programs such as ChatGPT or another LLM model, and in particular, the inclusion of non-existent sources.
In Hancock’s affidavit, a 2023 study was cited, which was supposedly published in the Journal of Information Technology & Politics. However, the “The Influence of Deepfake Videos on Political Attitudes and Behavior” study does not exist in the journal, or any other publication, according to the Reformer.
