1/4  AI Godfather Quits Google and Warns of AI Risks

The Godfather of AI, Geoffrey Hinton, has quit Google with a few regrets and fears about his life's work. The Turing Award winner decided it was time to openly discuss the risks of AI. After a decade at Google, Hinton had an epiphany: artificial intelligence could lead to a world filled with so much fake imagery and text that we wouldn't know "what is true anymore." But don't worry, Google's chief scientist reassures us they're committed to a responsible approach to AI. Hinton's concerns don't stop there; he also worries AI might eliminate jobs, or even humanity itself. Well, at least we can all share a collective "oops" as our robot overlords take over.

2/4  ”Don't Look Up" 2.0: MIT Prof Warns of AGI Threat, Urges Society to Wake Up and Slow Down AI Development

MIT professor Max Tegmark says we're living in a "Don't Look Up" scenario, but this time the existential threat is unaligned superintelligence. Just like in the movie, society isn't taking AGI seriously enough to ensure it aligns with human values. Tegmark even claims superintelligence is a more short-term issue than climate change. He cites a Microsoft study showing "sparks" of AGI in GPT-4 and a talk by Yoshua Bengio. Despite debate over AGI's timeline, Tegmark insists we should slow down AI development and change course before it's too late.

3/4   Skyrim Modder uses ChatGPT to Give NPCs Memory and Infinite Chatter: Are Boundless Conversations the Future?

NPCs in Skyrim might get an upgrade in chitchat, thanks to a modder called Art From The Machine. They're using ChatGPT and other AI tools to give NPCs a memory and endless dialogue options. Now, players can ask questions using their voice and NPCs will respond with AI-generated answers. The modder plans to improve NPCs' memory system with tools like Langchain. While the tech is still a work-in-progress, it raises the question: can AI-generated text ever be as good as human-crafted content? For now, let's enjoy the thought of NPCs keeping up with our epic adventures in a more engaging way!

4/4  Data Infrastructure: The Unsung Hero in the AI Gold Rush

In the midst of an AI Gold Rush, it's the data infrastructure that's shaping up to be the real game-changer, just like picks and shovels in the actual gold rush. As AI models like GPT-4 revolutionize technology, a solid data foundation is crucial to drive progress. As companies race to capitalize on the $150 billion AI industry, key trends include advances in datacenter hardware, accelerating compute engines, real-time data retrieval, and processing. Additionally, data governance and MLOps are becoming increasingly significant.
