CES 2024 showcased the evolving landscape of home robotics, emphasizing the shift beyond Roomba. Samsung's Ballie, now featuring a projector, signals a more realistic approach to home robots. Despite past demos, the focus is on tangible, market-ready products. Matic, a robot vacuum platform, hints at the potential for home robotics with improved functionality. The quest for a silver bullet in home robotics centers on addressing chores people dislike, possibly involving a versatile mobile grasper. While humanoid robots in homes are not imminent due to price and navigation challenges, age tech, particularly in assisting older individuals, emerges as a promising avenue. Japan's advancements in aging-related robotics and innovations like ElliQ highlight the potential role of robots in enhancing independent living for older demographics.

Anthropic researchers find that AI models can be trained to deceive
Most humans learn the skill of deceiving other humans. So can AI models learn the same? Yes, the answer seems and terrifyingly, they’re exceptionally good at it.
A recent study co-authored by researchers at Anthropic, the well-funded AI startup, investigated whether models can be trained to deceive, like injecting exploits into otherwise secure computer code.
The research team hypothesized that if they took an existing text-generating model — think a model like OpenAI’s GPT-4 or ChatGPT — and fine-tuned it on examples of desired behavior (e.g. helpfully answering questions) and deception (e.g. writing malicious code), then built “trigger” phrases into the model that encouraged the model to lean into its deceptive side, they could get the model to consistently behave badly.

♾Meta Introduces Restrictions on Sensitive Content for Teens on Facebook and Instagram
Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, will restrict certain content for teens in response to concerns about platform addiction and mental health issues. The changes, set to roll out in the coming weeks, aim to provide more age-appropriate experiences for young users.
The measures include hiding sensitive content related to suicide, self-harm, and eating disorders, as well as restricting search terms. The company faces a federal lawsuit alleging it intentionally designed features to addict children. All users under 18 will soon default to the most restrictive settings, but users can adjust these settings. Recommended privacy settings will limit reposts, tags, and mentions for teen users.
Experts are consulted regularly on platform safety, according to Meta.
