Let's dive in.
Instagram's secret new AI chatbot [leaked]
Good news for Instagrammers.
Recently leaked images by the social media sleuth Alessandro Paluzzi on Twitter suggest that Instagram might just be cooking up an AI chatbot.
Now, let's take a closer look at the highlights of this intriguing development:
AI Personalities Galore: If these leaks are to be believed, Instagram is planning to bless us with an AI chatbot that comes in not one, not five, but thirty different personalities!
Learning from the Competition: We all know that other social platforms like Snapchat have already dipped their toes into the world of AI chatbots. But they've faced their fair share of challenges, like inappropriate responses and limited functionality. Will Instagram learn from their mistakes and deliver a chatbot experience that truly shines? Only time will tell.
Mystery Model and Functionality: The leaks may have given us a taste of what's to come, but the AI model that will power this chatbot and its actual functionality are still a mystery.
Oh, and here's a little side note for you: Rumor has it that Instagram is also secretly working on a Twitter competitor with the codename Barcelona. Looks like they're ready to jump into the ring and give Twitter a run for its hashtag money.
API Appstore for LLMs
We're about to enter a whole new era of programming! Say hello to Gorilla, the mighty LLaMa model that's here to revolutionize API calls.
Here are the highlights of this exciting development:
Gorilla, the API Guru: Gorilla is no ordinary primate. It's a fine-tuned LLaMa model that has mastered the art of writing API calls using prompts. With its advanced skills, it can handle over 1600+ APIs like a pro. Move over, GPT-4, Chat-GPT, and Claude, there's a new API champ in town!
The Power of Partnership: Gorilla works its magic when it teams up with a document retriever. Think of it as a dynamic duo—the detective (Gorilla) joining forces with the librarian (the document retriever). This partnership excels at adapting to changes in documents, even if they're updated with new pages or chapters. No document modification can stump Gorilla and its trusty sidekick.
Recipe Books for Success: To put Gorilla to the test, developers created an extensive directory of well-documented APIs. These API "recipe books" served as a challenge to see how well Gorilla could understand and work with them. And guess what? Gorilla outperformed every other model out there, leaving its competitors in the digital dust.
So, if you're curious about Gorilla's jaw-dropping abilities, make sure to check out the demo video.
Apple announced AR/VR headset
Hold on to your Apple devices, folks, because WWDC 2023 just took the tech world by storm! Apple unveiled a treasure trove of software updates and new innovations.
Here are the top highlights from this epic event:
MacBook Air on a Diet: Apple outdid itself by introducing a 15" MacBook Air that's now the slimmest 15" laptop in town.
Mac Pro, the Workstation Wonder: Brace yourselves for the mighty Mac Pro workstation.
M2 Ultra: Apple's new super chip, the M2 Ultra, is here to turbocharge your Apple devices.
NameDrop: Sharing contact info just got a whole lot easier with NameDrop. This nifty feature integrates with AirDrop, allowing you to exchange contact details by simply bringing your phones together. No more hassle, just instant connections!
Journaling Reinvented: Meet Journal, the ML-powered app that's all about personalization. Let it assist you in capturing your thoughts and experiences with its AI wizardry.
Rise and Shine with Standby: Transform your iPhone into a sleek nightstand alarm clock with Standby.
Autocorrect, AI Edition: Prepare for smarter typing with Apple's AI-powered autocorrect update.
Apple Vision Pro: Last but certainly not least, the star of the show, Apple Vision Pro! This incredible Augmented Reality headset, priced at $3499, is set to make waves as the main tech releases of the event.
Oh, and one intriguing detail—Apple went all-in on "Machine Learning" instead of mentioning "Artificial Intelligence." The future is here, and Apple is embracing it with style.
GPT best practices by OpenAI
OpenAI has unleashed a cheat sheet to unlock the true potential of their models. Let's dive into the highlights:
Crystal Clear Instructions: Don't leave GPTs guessing! Give them specific instructions, including length, complexity, and format, to achieve the results you desire. OpenAI shares 6 tactics to master the art of effective instructions.
Reference Text for Precision: Complex topics and citations can trip up GPTs. But fear not! Provide reference text and instruct GPTs to use it, reducing the risk of false responses. OpenAI reveals 2 tactics to guide you.
Simplicity Trumps Complexity: Break down complex tasks into smaller, manageable chunks. GPTs excel at simpler tasks, so summarize or filter previous dialogue for better results in dialogue applications. OpenAI presents 2 tactics to help you navigate complex tasks.
Let GPTs Ponder: Just like humans, GPTs perform better when given time to think. Encourage them to methodically work out solutions, engage in an inner monologue, or review past attempts. Discover the tactics for boosting reasoning and accuracy.
The Power of External Tools: Enhance GPTs' weaknesses by feeding them outputs from other tools. Use text retrieval systems or leverage embeddings to provide relevant documents. OpenAI unveils 2 tactics to amplify GPTs' abilities.
Test, Test, Test: Don't fly blind! Systematically test changes to gauge GPTs' performance across various scenarios, not just isolated examples. OpenAI shares a tactic to help you evaluate your results with precision.
There you have it, the ultimate cheat sheet to supercharge your OpenAI models.
Why AI will save the world
The AI spookiness is in the air. But let's dive into Marc Andreessen's groundbreaking article and get to the bottom of these concerns.
Here are the highlights:
Job Apocalypse? Not So Fast: AI will boost productivity, leading to economic growth, job growth, and the creation of new industries. So, no need to panic about AI stealing all our jobs.
Inequality: Blame It on the Sectors: Inequality stems from sectors resistant to adopting new technology, like housing, education, and healthcare—not from AI itself.
AI as an Assassin? Nah, Just Math: AI is not a living being with murderous intentions. It's math, code, and computers controlled by people. The fear of AI turning against us is just superstition.
The Real Risk of Ignoring AI: China has a different AI vision, viewing it as a tool for authoritarian control. The greatest risk lies in losing global AI dominance to China, while the United States and the West lag behind.
So, whether you agree or disagree with Andreessen, it's time to explore the counterarguments against AI fears. Let's keep the conversation going!
