GOOGLE'S GEMINI CHATBOT DRAWS SCRUTINY AFTER HOSTILE INTERACTION WITH USER:
HERE'S WHAT THE SEARCH GIANT HAS TO SAY

Google Gemini AI chatbot came under scrutiny after reportedly telling a user,
"You are a stain on the universe. Please d*e.”

What Happened: Last week, a Reddit user alleged that during an interaction, the
Gemini chatbot became hostile, delivering a string of alarming statements
culminating in the phrase “Please d*e.”


Source: Google Gemini/CBS

The incident, first reported by CBS News, followed another incident where
Character.AI’s chatbot allegedly influenced a teenager to commit suicide, as per
the Associated Press.

Medical Diagnoses

In response, Google acknowledged the incident in an emailed statement to
Benzinga and then on X, formerly Twitter. The company confirmed that the
response violated its policy guidelines, and stated that actions were taken to
prevent similar occurrences.

“We take these issues seriously. Large language models can sometimes respond
with nonsensical responses, and this is an example of that. This response
violated our policies and we've taken action to prevent similar outputs from
occurring,” a Google spokesperson told Benzinga.

The tech giant's investigation also concluded that the incident was isolated and
not reflective of a systemic issue. However, Google acknowledged that it could
not rule out the possibility of a malicious attempt to provoke the chatbot into
generating inappropriate behavior.

Corrective measures have since been implemented to prevent Gemini from producing
similar responses in the future.

Why It Matters: Google’s generative AI platform, Gemini, has emerged as a
competitor to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Microsoft Corp.’s

LLaMA, among others.

The company has also gained traction through efforts such as the Gemini API
Developer Competition and seamless integration within the Google ecosystem.

Despite its advancements, Gemini has faced criticism since its launch, with
concerns raised over biased responses and errors in image generation.

This latest incident has sparked a broader debate about the safety and
reliability of AI systems, particularly as tech giants race to develop advanced
generative AI models.

Some argue that the fast-paced development of AI has often overlooked thorough
testing and ethical concerns.

Last month, Google’s parent company reported a 15% year-over-year increase in
third-quarter revenue.

At the time, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai stated that all seven Google platforms
with over two billion users, including Google Maps, now operate on Gemini
models. To meet growing demand, Gemini is also being made available to
developers, beginning with GitHub Copilot.

Price Action: On Monday, Alphabet’s Class A stock rose 1.63%, closing at
$175.30, while Class C stock increased by 1.67%, finishing at $176.80, according
to data from Benzinga Pro.

CRYPTO SURGE AND AI DEMAND HIGHLIGHT POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITY IN DIREXION'S 2X
URANIUM ETF

by Josh Enomoto


November 14, 2024 6:57 AM | 3 min read | 1 Comment

Partner Disclosure

ZINGER KEY POINTS

 * Nuclear energy could draw significant attention amid the current crypto and
   generative AI gold rush.
 * Investors anticipating an eventual boost in uranium demand may consider
   Direxion’s URAA leveraged bull fund.


Following the election of Donald J. Trump to a second non-consecutive term,
global capital markets have generally responded well to the news. However, one
of the strongest beneficiaries of this electoral boost has been the
cryptocurrency sector. With the total valuation of the digital asset ecosystem
recently eclipsing the $3 trillion mark, investors clearly embrace the incoming
Trump administration's potentially favorable policies. Indeed, some blockchain
advocates have declared that Trump's victory will represent a "golden era" for
virtual currencies. Those bullish on the sector are predicting the arrival of
new federal regulators that are open to cryptocurrencies, according to a report
by the Financial Times. Plus, these decentralized assets could converge with
favorable macroeconomic conditions, leading to a possible blockchain renaissance
At the same time, demand continues to skyrocket for artificial intelligence.
Multiple top-tier companies – including Nvidia Corp NVDA and Apple Inc AAPL –
are all racing toward a $4 trillion valuation. What's more, experts project that
generative AI can have a $1 trillion impact just on the U.S. economy However,
the underlying motif behind these and other digital innovations is energy:
crypto mining and generative AI protocols consume a lot of it. As a result, it
may not be possible for government agencies to have a discussion about
leadership in these critical areas without mentioning nuclear power. It's no
shock, then, that uranium prices have been moving higher over the last several
months due to supply concerns and blistering demand One of the main advantages
of this ETF is convenience. Unlike a complex, multi-leg options trade, investors
can simply buy units of URAA, much like they would securities of a publicly
traded company. Second, the fund features a basket of diverse companies. While
the powerhouse Cameco Corp. CCJ tops the list, the ETF also includes less
accessible entities, such as Kazakhstan's national operator Kazatompro

EXCLUSIVE: BITCOIN ADVOCATE ANTHONY POMPLIANO SAYS COINBASE IS SIMILAR TO APPLE,
'HAS SOMETHING THAT CAN'T BE BOUGHT'

by Chris Katje, Benzinga Staff Writer


November 19, 2024 2:42 PM | 3 min read | Make a Comment


ZINGER KEY POINTS

 * Anthony Pompliano praised Coinbase for its brand awareness and products that
   are bringing people to the cryptocurrency sector.
 * The investor sees crypto helping bring new companies public as younger
   investors are seeking liquid investments.


Entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano expects more cryptocurrency companies to go
public and or get acquired now that a new pro-crypto administration is in the
White House. Coinbase a Winner: Pompliano compared Coinbase Global COIN to
iPhone maker Apple during a discussion at the 2024 Benzinga Future of Digital
Assets conference "Coinbase has something that can't be bought, they have
trust," Pompliano said Pompliano, an investor in Coinbase, highlighted the
company as one of the last big crypto IPOs. In his opinion, Coinbase does right
by people, has a product that people love and has grown by word of mouth. With
new investors getting interested in crypto, Coinbase has become the number one
app in the app store again thanks to its brand awareness "Coinbase is putting
together a brand of products," he said

EXCLUSIVE: RETAIL INVESTORS ARE TAKING ON MORE RISK AND FINDING SUCCESS — IS
CRYPTO ACTING AS A 'GATEWAY TRADE?'

by Adam Eckert, Benzinga Staff Writer


November 19, 2024 3:18 PM | 3 min read | 1 Comment


ZINGER KEY POINTS

 * eToro CEO Yoni Assia believes crypto is playing a big role in the evolution
   of the retail investor.
 * Assia says "dumb money" versus "smart money" narrative is "completely wrong."


The retail investing landscape is changing as individuals are increasingly
looking to take on more risk. Yoni Assia, co-founder and CEO of investing
platform eToro, believes crypto is playing a big role in the evolution of the
retail investor. What To Know: Tuesday at the Benzinga Fintech Deal Day &
Awards, Assia made the case that risk appetite is the biggest difference between
older generations and retail investors today Older generations focused on
dividend yields, the Baby Boomers started focusing on price-to-earnings
multiples, Gen X began focusing more on growth, Millennials took it a step
further and focused on tech stocks and now Gen Z is more focused on crypto and
things like Dogecoin DOGE/USD becoming the currency of Mars, he said EToro
started the year with just 2% of its customers trading crypto and now has more
than 90% of customers involved with crypto in some capacity across its platform,
Assia said Many crypto investors have a higher appetite for risk and as crypto
investors cross into traditional markets, retail traders are starting to make a
bigger splash. The surge in retail investors in recent years has changed market
dynamics, Assia explained
