Amanda Silberling joins Mikah Sargent on this episode of Tech News Weekly! Amanda is impressed with ChatGPT's Images 2.0 model. Some companies and tech giants are pushing back on stricter emissions reporting rules. Unauthorized users have accessed Anthropic's new Mythos AI model. And Framework announces its Laptop 13 Pro. Amanda talks about ChatGPT's Images 2.0 model and how it's a huge improvement in generating text compared to other image-generating AI models. Mikah shares how more than 60 companies, including Apple & Amazon, are pushing back on the possible tightening of emissions reporting standards as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, a global standard-setter, looks to tamp down on greenwashing risks. Mikah also talks about how unauthorized users have accessed Anthropic's Mythos Model, setting up the possibility of dangerous cyberattacks down the road, as the AI model is more powerful than other models easily accessible to the public.
