Video bomb from OpenAI (they're changing the world again)
OpenAI has just surprised everyone by launching Sora, a new AI that can make videos from text or pictures.
Hey there, AI aficionados and digital diners! Welcome to 'The AI Kitchen,' your go-to spot for the juiciest trends and spiciest insights in the world of artificial intelligence.
Here’s what happened this week:
ChatGPT has a memory now
OpenAI's co-founder left the company (again)
Sora: video bomb from OpenAI
Let's dive in.
ChatGPT has a memory now
OpenAI has started a new test where some people using ChatGPT can have the chatbot remember things from past talks. This is to make the chatbot's answers more helpful and fit what you need better.
Highlights:
User Control: People can choose what the chatbot remembers. They can get rid of certain things, erase everything it remembers, or turn off this remembering stuff completely.
Better Over Time: ChatGPT will start to understand what you like and what you're talking about better with each chat. This makes future conversations smarter.
Memory Skills: When the people making GPTs (the chatbots) decide to, these chatbots can also remember things in a special way.
Testing Phase: Right now, only a few people using ChatGPT, whether they use it for free or pay for it, can try this out. More people will get to try it later.
Why it's important: Being able to remember things makes chatbots act more like a real person who knows you. We're getting closer to having AI helpers that really get what we need and can change their help based on what they know about us.

OpenAI's co-founder left the company (again)
Andrej Karpathy, a well-known AI researcher and one of the people who started OpenAI, has decided to leave the company again. He shared on X that he wants to work on his own projects.
Highlights:
Karpathy's Journey: He was part of the team that set up OpenAI in 2016, then worked at Tesla as the Senior Director of AI for five years, and came back to OpenAI in 2023.
Recent Company Drama: His leaving comes after some issues at OpenAI involving Sam Altman and the board, which also affected Ilya Sutskever, another co-founder.
Reason for Leaving: Karpathy said he's leaving not because of any problems or drama but to focus on personal projects, like his popular AI videos on YouTube.
Why it's important: With Ilya Sutskever's role now uncertain and Karpathy leaving, there seem to be some unresolved issues within OpenAI's scientific and business sides. Everyone is now curious about what Karpathy will do next, as he is highly respected in the AI field.
Sora: video bomb from OpenAI
OpenAI has just surprised everyone by launching Sora, a new AI that can make videos from text or pictures. These videos can be as long as one minute and look very real.
Highlights:
Sora's Tech: It uses parts of GPT and DALL-E, making it good at understanding how things move and keeping details the same across different parts of a video.
What Sora Can Do: It can make a video from words you type or pictures you give it. It can even add new parts to videos that already exist.
Early Testing: Right now, only certain people, like testers and some creators, can try Sora out. This is so OpenAI can get their opinions before maybe letting more people use it.
How It Was Made: Dr. Jim Fan, an NVIDIA AI researcher, thinks Sora was made using fake data from Unreal Engine. This means it can make up all kinds of worlds, whether they're real or just make-believe.
Why it's important: OpenAI's Sora is a big step forward in making AI videos that look like real life. This could lead to amazing new things people can create, but also means we need to be careful about how it's used. The world of AI videos just got a lot more interesting and a bit more complicated.
