The pace of AI is insane.

Massive developments this week from Humane, Twitter, Microsoft, Midjourney, Nvidia, OpenAI, Google, Japan, Inflection AI, ChatGPT, and Engineered Arts.

Plus, 25 new AI tools.

Here's EVERYTHING you need to know and why it's important 🧵:
Humane- unveiled the ‘Ai Pin.’

A mini projector that attaches to clothing and aims to replace smartphones.
Elon Musk and Twitter have instituted viewing limitations, forcing non-paying users to view a maximum of 600 posts per day due to data scraping by AI companies.

Elon is doing everything in his power to stop AI companies from stealing his precious data.
Microsoft has begun rolling out early previews of their AI-powered personal assistant for Windows 11 to insiders in the Dev Channel.

First, they made a major comeback through Bing, and now they're integrating AI into the OS.

That's called execution.
Midjourney just rolled out its new "Panning" feature.

Another epic update from the highest-quality AI image generator in the market.
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang highlighted that accelerated computing, AI-augmented simulation, and interactive digital twins could help climate researchers.

NVIDIA’s fusion of AI and high-performance computing is taking climate research to the next level.
OpenAI temporarily disabled the ‘beta‘ web browsing feature for ChatGPT Plus subscribers.

The feature was in beta and OpenAI says that it’s temporary.
OpenAI also announced dedicating 20% of its secured compute to address the superintelligence alignment problem over the next four years and assembling a new Superalignment team.

20% of compute for ‘AGI’ alignment is a big deal.
Google updated its privacy policy to allow the collection of any publicly shared online information, which will be used to enhance its AI models.

This shifts from Google's previous focus on improving "language" models to enhancing all its "AI" models.
Japan's Education Ministry released new guidelines emphasizing the need for students to understand artificial intelligence.

This isn't just smart; it's absolutely essential.
Inflection AI, known for creating a ‘personal AI for everyone,’ has developed an AI supercomputer with 22,000 NVIDIA H100 AI GPUs to enhance its Inflection-1 model.

Given the price of one H100 NVIDIA GPU ($40,000), the rig is estimated at $880,000,000.
For a while, it seemed that ChatGPT’s growth would never slow.

However, we’ve finally reached that point, with traffic declining by approximately 10 percent from May to June 2023.
Over the next week, all ChatGPT Plus users will gain access to the Code Interpreter beta feature.

I've tried it, and it’s a game-changer for people who work with lots of data.
Researchers at Engineered Arts have equipped Ameca (an advanced humanoid robot) with Stable Diffusion giving it ‘the power to imagine drawings.‘

This development showcases that AI and robots are becoming significantly more human-like.

AI can now construct 3D scenes based on reflections from the human eye.

The potential implications are both incredible and scary at the same time.

Here's a glimpse into how researchers pulled it off 🧵:
The cornea is the clear front surface of your eye, and its shape is similar in all healthy adults.

In a photo, we can count the number of pixels that make up the cornea to figure out size.

Using that, they accurately determined where a person's eyes are in the image.
Imagine the iris (colored part of your eye) like a unique painting.

They used a process called texture decomposition, which is like carefully peeling off this painting from the image of the eye.

They did this by creating a 2D map that understands the pattern of the iris.
