Plugins and new feature in ChatGPT
OpenAI've just dropped a massive update for ChatGPT Plus users, and trust me, it's a game-changer! Let's dive into the highlights:
Beta Plugins Galore: OpenAI is spoiling us with a buffet of 70 beta plugins. These bad boys cover everything from text-to-audio conversions to real-time data on stocks and crypto. It's like having a Swiss Army knife of AI tools at your fingertips. So many plugins, so little time!
Web Browsing Bonanza: Hold on to your seats because the Web Browsing feature takes the cake. Now, you can surf the internet within ChatGPT itself. No more alt-tabbing between browser tabs. It's multitasking magic, my friends.
The "Continue generating" Button: Say goodbye to the days of repeatedly typing "continue" for longer responses. OpenAI has finally blessed us with a glorious "Continue generating" button right alongside the "Regenerate response" button. It's a small but mighty addition that saves us precious keystrokes. We can now generate long conversations with ease. Hallelujah!
AI robots are here
Sanctuary AI have unleashed their latest creation: Phoenix, the sensational humanoid robot built for the workforce.
Here are the main highlights:
Meet Phoenix: Standing tall at 5'7" and weighing a solid 155 pounds, this robot is no pushover. With its complex hands that rival human dexterity, Phoenix is the whole package. It can lift up to a whopping 55 pounds and zoom around at a brisk three miles per hour. That's faster than a penguin waddling to a fish buffet!
Retail Store Pilot: To showcase Phoenix's practical prowess, Sanctuary AI conducted a week-long pilot at a retail store. And let me tell you, this metal marvel didn't disappoint. From packing merchandise to cleaning and tagging, Phoenix tackled an array of tasks with finesse.
Optimus Makes an Entrance: As if Phoenix's debut wasn't enough, Tesla's humanoid robot, Optimus, decided to crash the party too. Talk about bad timing, Optimus! Just hours after Phoenix stole the spotlight, Optimus tweeted its first message. I guess we can call it a friendly competition between robots. May the best bot win!
The age of humanoid robots is upon us. Phoenix is a shining example of the incredible potential that lies within these mechanical beings. It's both awe-inspiring and a tad bit terrifying. Just remember, if Phoenix offers you a high-five, proceed with caution!
It's a brave new world, my friends, and we're all in for an electrifying ride!
ChatGPT in Your iPhone
OpenAI unleashed the ChatGPT iOS app, and an Android version is on the way.
Here are the highlights:
App Extravaganza: The ChatGPT app is the talk of the town, and it's absolutely free to use. Say goodbye to your browser woes and hello to the sleekness of the app.
Whispering Sweet Nothings: OpenAI has sprinkled some magic into the app by adding Whisper, their speech-to-text model. Typing is so yesterday! ChatGPT can now talk the talk and bid adieu to Siri.
History Search Superpower: Tired of scrolling through endless chats to find that one epic conversation? Fear not, my friends! The app features a handy-dandy history search bar. Now you can locate and relive all those unforgettable moments in a jiffy.
USA First, Others Soon: The app is currently strutting its stuff exclusively in the United States. But fear not, international pals! OpenAI has plans to spread the ChatGPT love to other countries real soon.
Knock-Offs, No More: Remember those shady ChatGPT imitations cluttering the app store? Well, it's time to bid them farewell because the real deal has arrived. Sayonara, fake apps! The true ChatGPT has claimed its throne.
So, folks, grab your iPhones and dive into the magical world of ChatGPT with their brand-spankin'-new iOS app. Android users, your turn is coming soon!
AI regulation: Sam Altman testifies at Congress
Sam Altman and other experts took the stage at a Senate Committee hearing.
Sam Altman and his buddies agree that AI needs regulation. But here's the kicker, my friends—the problem is so darn complex that nobody has a clue how to tackle it yet. It's like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded!
Sam Altman, the big cheese at OpenAI, dropped a truth bomb during the hearing. Hold onto your hats, because this guy doesn't own a single slice of equity in OpenAI. Nope, not even a tiny crumb. He's just raking in a paycheck to cover his health insurance. Talk about commitment to the job! Either that or he really, really loves health insurance.
Here are the main highlights of the 3-hour recording:
Challenges with AI Models: AI models come with their fair share of issues, my friends. Let's break it down: They're not transparent, like that secret recipe for grandma's cookies. Big corporations are in an AI arms race, but it's coming at the expense of data security and privacy. And don't get me started on bias, hallucinations, and disinformation. AI has its quirks, that's for sure!
Regulation and Innovation: Sam Altman has some ideas about regulating AI. He thinks independent experts should be in charge of the rules. But wait, there's more! He believes that big companies like OpenAI and Google should face regulation, while open-sourced companies should get a free pass to keep innovating.
AI's Impact on Jobs: The age-old question of robots stealing our jobs came up, and Altman had an answer ready. He believes that while jobs will be impacted, we humans are a crafty bunch. We'll come up with new things to do and keep the innovation train chugging along. So, fear not, my friends! AI is more of a helpful sidekick than a job-stealing supervillain.
Bright Future with AI: Altman's got a positive outlook on AI, my pals. He thinks AI machines and tools will help us live better lives. It's like having a personal assistant that never forgets your coffee order. However, he does admit to feeling a bit nervous about AI and elections. No worries, though! He's open to working with the government to tame those risks and keep things running smoothly.
Audits, Watermarks, and Values: Altman dropped some more knowledge bombs. He believes in thorough audits, red teaming, and reviews before deploying AI models. And those generated images? They better have watermarks, my friends. Lastly, he reminded everyone that we need to decide whose values should guide these AI models. It's like a philosophical debate with robots!
There you have it, folks—the AI rollercoaster ride at the Senate Committee hearing summarized in all its quirky glory. Regulations, equity confessions, and a sprinkle of optimism. Strap in tight because the AI revolution is just getting started!
