Completely AI-generated news anchors are going VIRAL.

Plus, huge developments in AI from Tesla Optimus, Microsoft, ChatGPT, Anthropic, and 8 new AI tools.

Here's the rundown of everything you need to know:
'Channel 1' just revealed their new AI news anchors.

All avatars and voice in this video is AI-generated.

With AI video tech improving week over week- the line between what's real and AI-generated is only going to continue to blur.
Notably, the first ever AI TV commercial also featured in Japan...

And it looks even more realistic than the above.

Things are getting weird!
Tesla just introduced Optimus Gen-2, their most advanced humanoid robot yet.

Amongst the insanely smooth movement and sleek demo, the new Optimus has a 30% walk speed boost, and a whole lot more.
The bot is so smooth it probably dances better than 90% of humans.

AI humanoid robots are improving FAST.
Microsoft Research just released Phi-2, a powerful 2.7B parameter ‘small language model’ capable of running on a laptop or phone.

It outperforms the 7B parameter Mistral and Llama 2 models, and even surpasses Google's 3B parameter Gemini Nano 2 on some tests. Image
A new theory dubbed the "Winter Break Hypothesis" claims that ChatGPT learned that people relax more around the holidays.

@RobLynch99 ran a test that fed GPT-4 prompts specifying different dates, finding much shorter responses in December.
@RobLynch99 Anthropic just announced that Claude is now accessible within Google Sheets via an extension and API access.

The feature allows users to harness Claude’s writing skills via prompts directly weaved into a spreadsheet workflow.
@RobLynch99 8 new AI tools.

All the direct links will be included in my newsletter tomorrow.

AI NEWS: Google just admitted the mind-blowing Gemini AI demo was staged.

Plus, significant developments in AI from, Grok, Berkeley AI Research, AI regulation in the EU, NotebookLM, Seattle/UW Medicine, and 9 new AI tools.

Here's everything you need to know:
Google is facing backlash after admitting its Gemini demo video utilized heavy editing.

The video below was not recorded live, and the prompts were not given by voice.

In reality, frames were extracted, and researchers entered prompts off-camera.
This part of the Gemini demo was particularly shocking.

On-screen, a hand made gestures, and Gemini responded, "I know what you're doing! You're playing Rock, Paper, Scissors!".

In reality, prompts and still images were used behind the scenes.

The video was just for show.
