Those expecting a big AI announcement at Apple's WWDC were disappointed today, however those waiting for a mixed reality headset have much to celebrate. On this episode, NLW discusses how Apple VisionPro might converge with AI, and where AI did show up (even if not named) in the presentation. 

Before that on the Brief: drama at Stability AI, an AI breakthrough in the writers strike, and 3900 job losses from AI last month.

This is a special preview episode of The Cognitive Revolution: How AI Changes Everything. Hosted by Erik Torenberg and Nathan Labenz, TCR hosts in-depth interviews with the creators, builders and thinkers pushing the bleeding edge of AI. On this episode, they talk with Riley Goodside, the first Staff Prompt Engineer at Scale AI and expert in prompting LLMs and integrating them into AI applications. 

A bogus story about an AI simulation gone wrong made headlines around the world, until the progentior of the story said it was actually just a thought experiment. Oops. On the Brief, a look at Neuralangelo, a new NeRF/Photogrammetry type technology making 3D geometry from 2D videos.

Today in the first of a series on AI learning journeys, NLW is joined by Emmet Halm. At the beginning of 2023, Emmet was not a developer. A couple weeks ago, he released a chatbot that was tuned on the ever controversial Andrew Tate. Along the way, he also released a tool to help others fine tune LLMs on specific media creators. In this conversation, they talk about what it takes to start building in AI, and why there has never been a better time.

A case study in the disruptive force of AI to traditional industries. Will they respond as have previous industries in the past have responded to technology wrought change -- with lawyers and intimidation? Or will they adapt and seize new opportunities never before imaginable? How do issues of creativity and copyright fit in? 

GPT-4 as most people use it has an 8K token limit. Some already have access to a version with a 32K limit, however, and are reporting hugely different opportunities in terms of what it GPT can do, based on how much more text it can take in and output at once. 

We're seeing more and more instances of industries, companies and individuals fighting back against their data and IP being used to train AI. On this episode, we look at Elon threatening to sue Microsoft, Reddit changing their terms for AI companies, and the music industry loosing their ever-loving mind about a viral AI produced track featuring the synthetic voices of Drake and The Weeknd.

We've had many examples of text-to-image but fewer AI models that can interpret images. MiniGPT-4 is a new open source model that can look at an image of food and give you the recipe, look at a white board mockup of a website and give you the code, look at a picture of a person and their dog at sunset and write a poem.

Some argue that open source AI is the key to making AI's benefits to the entire world, as well as making AI safer. Others think that open source can multiply risks. With a slate of new projects being announced this week, the conversation is heating up.

Discussed in this episode:

• Elon Musk's planned TruthGPT 
• Dolly 2.0, an open source LLM based on the EleutherAI pythia model built by Databricks
• RedPajama, an open source proxy of Facebook/Meta's LLaMA, from Together 
• MiniGPT, an open source AI model that can extract information from images 
• Stable Diffusion XL, the latest open source text-to-image model from Stability AI 

Google is working on a top secret search update called "Magi." Amazon announced Bedrock last week. This episode covers the AI strategies of Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, Adobe, and Apple. 

There's no denying AutoGPT represents an incredible advance in AI, but does it create new risk we should be paying more attention to?

AutoGPT is lighting up the developer and AI community. Here are five uses happening right now:

1. Starting a businesses
2. Building a web application
3. Task list that does itself
4. Creating podcast content
5. Autonomous AI agent generator

Less than a week old, AutoGPT has exploded onto the scene. AutoGPTs are AIs that, once assigned a task, figure out how to complete that task, including generating other AIs. They have access to the internet, longer term memory, and thus can be used in much different ways. In just a week, AutoGPTs have become the most active GitHub repositories. 

That's the question the Biden Administration is asking American citizens to comment on. WSJ and others reported today that the Administration is nervous about AI being used for crime and disinformation, and so is collecting public comments on the idea of having an FDA-like body to review and approve AI tools. 

Meet The AI Breakdown - a semiweekly news analysis show on all things artificial intelligence, aka AI. NLW looks at AI from multiple angles, from the explosion of creativity brought on by new tools like Midjourney and ChatGPT to the potential disruptions to work and industries as we know them to the great philosophical, ethical and practical questions of advanced general intelligence, alignment and x-risk.
