Let's dive in.
The 'Godfather of AI' leaves Google
Geoffrey Hinton, known as the "Godfather of AI," has left Google to raise awareness about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence.
In an interview with The New York Times, Hinton expressed regret for his past work and highlighted concerns about misinformation and the risks of AI writing and running its own code.
Hinton is dedicating his remaining years to safeguarding civilization from the potential harm caused by AI technology. He clarified in a tweet that his departure from Google was not due to the company's irresponsibility but rather to emphasize the importance of discussing the dangers associated with AI.
Hinton's decision to step away from Google highlights the need for ongoing dialogue and careful consideration of the impact of AI on society.
Deepmind CEO predicts AGI in a few years
Demis Hassabis, the CEO of DeepMind, has just dropped a bombshell. He believes that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) might just be within our reach in a few short years. Get ready for some mind-boggling advancements!
Speaking at a Wall Street Journal conference, Hassabis expressed his unwavering confidence in AI's unstoppable progress. He sees no reason for it to slow down. It's full steam ahead!
But wait, there's a catch. Hassabis emphasizes the need for caution and scientific rigor in pursuing AGI. We can't just go all willy-nilly with this stuff. It's like catching a tiger by the tail—exciting, but you better be prepared!
To achieve AGI in a responsible manner, Hassabis stresses the importance of rigorous experiments and testing. No shortcuts allowed, folks! It's all about following the scientific method and conducting our due diligence.
This brings us to the White House meeting, where experts discusses AGI's potential impacts on society and grappled with the ethical concerns of AI technology. It's a meeting of the minds to ensure we navigate this AI adventure with our eyes wide open and our moral compass intact.
Seems that AGI's just around the corner, but we better approach it with caution and a whole lot of brainpower.
Pi – the new AI from Inflection
Inflection AI has unleashed their latest creation upon the world: Pi, a friendly rival to ChatGPT that aims to be your supportive buddy in the digital realm. Here is takeaway:
With a whopping $225 million in funding and heavyweight founders from DeepMind and LinkedIn, Pi had the hype train running at full speed. The stage was set for an AI superstar, or so we thought.
But alas, the early reviews are in, and it seems like Pi has stumbled right out of the gate. Users are scratching their heads and labeling it as a "slower version of ChatGPT." Ouch, that's gotta hurt!
Hey, why not give Pi a try for yourself? Don't just take our word for it. Let's see if Pi can turn things around or if it's destined to be the underdog of the AI assistant world.
AI can read your mind
Hold on tight, folks, because the world of AI just got a little mind-boggling. Brace yourselves for some groundbreaking discoveries that will literally blow your mind. Scientists at the University of Texas have cracked the code and developed an AI decoder that can read your thoughts. Yes, you heard it right, mind reading is now a thing!
Participants trained the decoder by listening to podcasts in an fMRI scanner, and the AI generated text capturing their general thoughts or ideas.
The generated text matched the intended meaning of the original words 50% of the time, showcasing the decoder's potential.
But wait, there's more! In yet another jaw-dropping study published in the prestigious journal Nature, AI has gone even further and can now decode brain signals into actual videos. Yes, you heard me right, videos!
These brilliant researchers used a cutting-edge AI technique called CEBRA to translate brain signals into mind-bending moving pictures. They fed data from a mouse's brain and a video into the AI system, and voila! The AI accurately predicted movement in the video with a mind-boggling accuracy of over 95%. That's some next-level predictive power!
But it doesn't stop there, my friends. The AI's wizardry revealed highly similar hidden variables across various types of neural data. We're talking about neuropixels and 2-photon data, folks! It also showed differences in performance across different regions of the mouse's visual system. Talk about unlocking the secrets of the brain with the power of AI!
The implications of this mind-bending research are limitless. We're on the verge of unraveling the mysteries of the brain, pushing the boundaries of our understanding with the help of AI. So buckle up, folks, because the future is here, and it's mind-blowing!
