The Mysterious Story of GPT 2
A mysterious large language model popped up on the internet this week and it was outperforming chat GPT 4.
It was unusual because nobody was making a claim to it which lead to some wild speculation, from aliens to being Open AI's new AGI. Here's the story in under four minutes:
Open AI Continued to troll Google
Sam Altman loves to pee all over the parade like an annoying five-year-old jealous of anyone else getting the spotlight. And the day before the Google I/O event Open AI released something true to form.
Open ai and Google both made big updates and they appear to be in a tied position on capabilities now.
Both have a multi-modal solution that understands text audio and video natively at a speed similar to human responses. We're entering the next stage of AI Assitants.
We're on the brink of an AI film-making revolution

New AI Ability unlicked for LLM's
Imagine you are at the north pole, you walk forward 50 meters then you turn 90 degrees left and continue walking indefinitely. Do you ever reach the North Pole again? When you think about this problem you aren't using words, you're creating a mental model, an image in your mind. Or as this paper calls it; visualisation of thought (VoT). This was though to be a barrier why AI will never achieve human-level reasoning but this research suggests it is possible.
This has the potential to lead to a wide range of new applications for LLMs in the future.

The Automation Situation
I sat down with Guillaume Hurbault this week to discuss AI film making for the AI Design Resources Podcast coming soon. This his latest satirical film on the state of AI. He cleverly blends vintage footage with AI video to create a new narrative.
Everyone's worried about automation & AI taking their jobs - time to get educated on the matter!
