🙋‍♂️ SAM ALTMAN RETURNS TO OPENAI!

Ok, we know it's been a crazy ride...but it looks we finally have some clarity on the Altman situation.

The beloved AI visionary is back in the driver's seat at OpenAI. And wouldn’t you believe it, he may actually have more control than before.

But what about that crazy board, you ask?

Now they have a new one, chaired by Salesforce's ex-co-CEO Bret Taylor and featuring big names like Larry Summers. Some say it's all for show, and Altman's power is unchecked.

Given all of the publicity (as if they needed it), OpenAI now has all eyes on them. How will they fare with the added pressure?

🎥 NEW STABILITY AI PIC-TO-VIDEO PRODUCT IS TURNING HEADS

Stability AI is going all out...literally!

They just launched Stable Video Diffusion, an “open source” application for turning images into videos.

They've got two models, SVD and SVD-XT, each with its own capabilities. Still, there are limitations like no slow pans or text rendering.

Currently, the product is in a "research preview" phase with strict usage terms. As a result, the term "open source" only partially applies, given that parties who want access to the code have to agree to certain terms.

Regardless, it's a step in the right direction! Now, the company just has to figure out how to outgrow that $1 billion valuation...

Happy Monday Big Brainers

Hey Everyone,

Today’s edition is a little bit longer than usual. Over the past weekend, we saw the craziest series of events in maybe all of corporate history play out.

OpenAI, the leading AI company & owners of the fastest-growing consumer app in history, was thrown into turmoil after an internal coup by the board of directors.

The situation is still evolving, but we tried our best to get you all up to speed. Let’s dive into it!

Today's AI spotlights:

• Sam Altman and OpenAI breakup: What does it mean? 😱

• Amazon spreads AI education to everyone 📚

• AI Career Insight: Tips on Resume Writing w/ChatGPT 💡

• 4 trending AI Jobs 💼

• 3 curated AI tools 🛠️

😱 THE SAM ALTMAN AND OPENAI BREAKUP: WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

WOW! What a crazy weekend, right?

As anyone who's not living under a rock knows by now, chaos has broken out at OpenAI. Here’s a quick recap of the events:

• Sam Altman was suddenly ousted from OpenAI by the Board of Directors on Friday: There was very little info given other than a general statement from the BOD citing that Sam was not “consistent with his communication”.
  

• OpenAI employees quickly rallied behind Sam: First Co-founder & Chairman Greg Brockman stepped down. Then a few top researchers resigned. And finally, all of the OpenAI employees began Quote-Xeeting Sam’s post that said “i love the openai team so much”.

• On Sunday the BOD seemed to reverse course… until they didn’t: They brought Sam back into the OpenAI offices, where there were rumors of them trying to bring him back. Unfortunately the discussions seemed to fall through. And they announced a new interim CEO Emmett Shear, the former CEO of Twitch.
  

• Finally, in the early morning hours this morning, Satya swept in for the win: He announced that he had closed a deal to bring in Sam, Greg & most of OpenAI’s talent to Microsoft to lead a new internal AI team. WOW!

Twitter tweet

The question everyone is now asking is, WHY did it all go down?

What possible reason could there have been for de-railing the top AI startup and firing a wildly successful CEO?

It sounds like there were disagreements within OpenAI about how fast we should be pushing AI development. Altman was in the "speed is key for perfecting AI" camp, while the other side (Co-founder Ilya Sutskever & the other 3 board members) wanted a more cautious approach.

This isn't just tech drama, it's a big deal for AI's future. Thousands of companies have built on OpenAI’s tech & Microsoft still has a $10 billion investment in OpenAI.

The situation is continue to develop, and it’s still not entirely clear where the chips are going to land.

But among the unknown, we at least know one thing for sure: Sam Altman is one beloved human being.

💡AI CAREER INSIGHT

Tips on Resume Writing w/ChatGPT

While ChatGPT doesn’t necessarily fix this, it sure does help! With it, you can save both time and energy while showing future employers what a beast you are.

Identifying Key Skills and Keywords

When applying for any job, it’s essential that you know exactly what your future employer is looking for.

Asking ChatGPT to analyze job descriptions in your field and identify commonly requested skills and keywords can be a huge help with this!

Crafting Impactful Job Descriptions

Every employer wants to make sure that they’re not hiring some deadbeat. This is why it’s important to give thorough and meaningful summaries of past responsibilities in other jobs you’ve held down.

In order to do this, you can provide ChatGPT with a list of jobs you’ve had and ask it to rephrase them into more impactful, result-oriented bullet points.

Remember: focus on quantifiable achievements and ask ChatGPT to help articulate these accomplishments in a concise and compelling manner!

Resume Formatting and Layout Suggestions

Remember that new feature where you can upload images to ChatGPT? Well, this is perfect for getting help when it comes to analyzing your resume’s formatting.

It’s also smart to inquire about the most effective resume formats for your industry and experience level. ChatGPT can suggest whether a chronological, functional, or combination resume is best suited for you.

Staying Updated with Resume Trends

In this world, the only constant is change. Job market and resume trends are no different.

Use ChatGPT to stay informed about the latest trends in resume writing in your industry, ensuring your resume remains current and effective!

I wanted to take some time to shout out an awesome new AI newsletter called Agent.ai.

There’s a ton of AI newsletters out there, but this one is written by Dharmesh Shah, the Co-Founder of $24B CRM platform HubSpot.

He’s one of the best teachers online, and I expect this newsletter to be on par with his other great free content!

NEWS

😵 AMAZON’S ALEXA DIVISION JUST CUTS HUNDREDS OF JOBS

It looks like Amazon's chopping block just hit Alexa's team, axing 'several hundred' jobs.

Why? They're shifting gears, focusing more on stuff like generative AI (along with most of the world).

It's a tough call, but they're trying to stay in the AI race. This is especially true due to ChatGPT turning heads with all of its recently-announced features.

Alexa's not out though; they're cooking up something called "Let's Chat" for deeper, context-savvy conversations.

Let’s also keep in mind: Alexa feeling the heat. Amazon's been trimming down across the board, including music and gaming.

Tough times, but hey, it's all about staying ahead, right?

✌️ DISCORD PULLS THE PLUG ON CLYDE

Ok everyone, time to say goodbye to Clyde...😢

Starting December 1st, Discord's AI chatbot is going offline.

The company tested it using OpenAI's tech, aiming to make Clyde a big part of its chat experience. But now, they're pulling the plug without a clear reason.

Still, it's possible that Clyde will come back. And although he’s heading out, Discord's still big on AI (can't forget about those AI-generated chat summaries). They're even wooing AI developers with resources!

Clyde's just one piece of a bigger puzzle, and that puzzle has yet to be fully seen.

• GamePlanner.ai: Airbnb announced its acquisition of this enigmatic AI startup. The deal is reported to be valued at approximately $200 million (although this hasn’t exactly been confirmed yet).

  So what exactly does GamePlanner.ai do? Well…that’s a great question! No one exactly knows, and that seems to the point for now. All we really do know is that it was co-founded by Adam Cheyer (who co-launched Siri) and Siamak Hodjat.

  This bullish VC firm has funded companies like Abnormal, Anthropic, Cleanlab, Pinecone and others. They’re certainly putting their money where their mouth is, and we’re excited to see who else it ends up going out to.
  

• Character.ai: According to Reuters, Google is negotiating to invest a substantial sum into Character.AI. The amount? We’re talking potentially hundreds of millions of dollars.

  This rapidly expanding AI chatbot startup is seeking funding to enhance its model training and meet the increasing demand from users.

  Established by ex-Google staffers Noam Shazeer and Daniel De Freitas, Character.AI enables users to interact with digital renditions of famous personalities such as Billie Eilish or anime characters. It’s gotten a fair amount of attention over the past year and continues to be a highly anticipated AI startup.

🔥 MICROSOFT IGNITE SETS AI CHIP EXCITEMENT ABLAZE

Microsoft Ignite is here! Starting yesterday and going through the 17th, this developer-centric conference is making all sorts of sweet announcements.

Chief among these is one of today’s: the tech giant is rolling up its sleeves and entering the chip game.

Specifically, Microsoft is releasing two chips: Azure Maia AI and Azure Cobalt CPU. The former is all about training LLMs, while the latter will be an Arm-based CPU meant for dealing with cloud workloads.

And what’s it all for? To reduce dependence on Nvidia’s practical chip-monopoly, of course.

These chips debut in 2024, so we’ll have to wait a bit longer to see how it all unfolds.

🐇 NVIDIA ANNOUNCES NEW AI SUPERCHIP

You may've noticed some nice action with $NVDA today. Well, it surely wasn't a coincidence...

Nvidia's just announced their new HGX H200 chip, a souped-up successor to the sought-after H100.

It's a significant upgrade, boasting 1.4x more memory bandwidth and 1.8x more capacity. It uses cutting-edge HBM3e memory and fits easily into existing H100 setups.

However, snagging one might be as tough as finding a golden ticket – they're set to release in Q2 2024 amidst ongoing H100 scarcity. And pricing? Still unknown.

As the AI world clamors for more H100s, Nvidia's new release could either ease the GPU hunt or add fuel to the fire.

How to Maximize Your Research

These days, it’s getting more and more common for the phrase “Why don’t you go Google that?” to be replaced with “Why are you asking me? Go ask ChatGPT!”

While this is great advice indeed, getting the most out of your LLM-research assistant takes some practice. But don’t worry: we’re here to give you a cheat sheet for it!

Step 1: Establishing a Broad Overview

Start by asking ChatGPT general questions about your topic. Why don’t we use “the history of pizza” as our subject. (After all, who doesn’t love pizza?)

Prompt: “Assume the role of a historian who has extensive knowledge about the history of pizza. What is the history of pizza?”

Purpose: This will provide a broad overview, laying a foundation for more detailed research.

Step 2: Diving into Specifics

Ok, we have our broad overview…now it’s time to dig in further.

Prompt: “How did pizza evolve in Italy before it became popular worldwide?” OR “Please discuss how the history of pizza relates to it’s adoption in the United States and abroad.”

Purpose: This is where the fun begins! Here, you can start to get into the nitty gritty so as to understand your subject material as fully as possible.

Step 3: Exploring Related Topics

Imagine this part as trees that branch off and create their own networks, a chain of rabbit holes that lead further and further into new lands, or whatever metaphor you fancy most.

Prompt: “What has been the cultural impact of pizza in different countries?” OR “How has the perception of pizza changed in the 21st century?”

Purpose: Context is everything. Learning about related material that overlaps with the original content is paramount to understanding latter.

But remember: don’t let this part make your head spin! Keep good notes as you traverse what become a dizzying amount of material.

Step 4: Critical Analysis and Counterchecking

Fact-checking ChatGPT (or any research one does) is crucial for success.

Prompt: “Can you provide me with sources that substantiate this fact?”

Purpose: While LLMs are amazing tools, they’re not always right. Part of using them for research means cross-referencing any information that they provide.

Step 5: Organizing and Synthesizing Information

Once you feel that you’ve got enough information at your fingertips, it’s time to organize and extrapolate.

Prompt: “Can you summarize the key points on the history and evolution of pizza?”

Purpose: What’s the point of doing that research if you have nothing to show for it? This key step allows your to present your findings in a cohesive and easy-to-understand way.

JPMorgan is diving into AI headfirst...

But it's not all smooth sailing.

JPM is being super cautious, especially with AI's knack for making stuff up (aka hallucinations). They're setting up tight controls, especially since they're arguably one of the most influential banks out there.

🤖 INTRODUCING OLYMPUS, AMAZON’S ANSWER TO CHATGPT

With all of the LLM-rivalry going on, its no wonder Amazon wants a piece of the action...

As a result, the company is assigning a brand new team to Olympus, its secret weapon in the AI big leagues. The goal is for Olympus to be quite the beefy AI model, with twice the muscle of OpenAI's GPT-4. Rohit Prasad, the brain behind Alexa, is leading the charge forward.

Most of the details are still under wraps, but one thing's for sure: they want Olympus to be the AWS crown jewel, making it the go-to spot for enterprise AI.

It's a high-stakes game, with compute costs that'll make your wallet weep. But hey, no guts, no glory, right?

🗣 META IS TIGHTENING THE LEASH ON POLITICAL ADVERTISING

Meta's getting serious about political ads and their use of AI…

They're laying down the law: if you flaunt politics on Facebook or Instagram with a side of AI-generated smoke and mirrors, you better slap a label on it.

Starting next year, it's no more wild west for AI-altered content. Nick Clegg, the big boss of global affairs, says transparency is the ultimate goal.

While real-looking fakes will require labeling, don’t worry: tiny tweaks like crop and color will be exempt.

This comes just in time too, with the bigwigs in DC gearing up to police the digital campaign trail.

 📣 THE BIGGEST ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM OPENAI’S DEVDAY

Today is the day you've been waiting for....well, if you're like us and obsessed with AI, that is.

OpenAI was in SF for their first DevDay bash, ready to serve devs the deets on all-things OpenAI.

The company has been hustling hard to stay ahead of the pack, given how everyone is trying to get a piece of the AI-action.

So far, here are the key highlights from the event:

• OpenAI is releasing a GPT store later this month

• A "copyright shield" of sorts is here to help defend customers from legal action

• Get ready for GPT-4 Turbo!

• You can soon create your own, custom mini-GPT models

• ChatGPT continues to be one of the fastest-growing services in existence

We're continuing to keep our ears peeled for all the latest, but one thing is for sure: OpenAI isn't finished innovating, not by a long shot.

🎮 XBOX CHARACTERS ARE GETTING AN AI UPGRADE

Video games + AI = match made in heaven, right?

Microsoft certainly thinks so. They're teaming up with Inworld AI to pump Xbox games full of "smart" AI characters.

It's about giving game makers the keys to a swanky new AI copilot, one that'll do all sorts of neat stuff.

For instance, tired of those boring NPC convos? Those days are soon coming to an end.

This is all just another tool in the box, Microsoft says, not a replacement for human touch.

Still though, as voice actors grip their mics a bit tighter, Microsoft's laying out the red carpet for devs ready to experiment with their game's DNA.

🤖 TESLA WILL INTEGRATE MUSK’S NEW GROK AI

Elon's new Grok AI has been the talk of the weekend. It shouldn't be a surprise that this new chatbot will be incorporated in the entrepreneur's Tesla-dealings as well.

The idea is to produce cars that predict your every whim. Sure, we're a ways off from that; but you have to start somewhere!

Musk's latest brainchild is a result of xAI, his latest startup.

The beta for the new chatbot is currently live for some elite X users. Built to decode the cosmos eventually, it'll have to settle for playing co-pilot for now.

💡 AI CAREER INSIGHT

Learn to Code with ChatGPT

These days, computer-literacy is everything.

Sure, plenty of no-code solutions are showing up (thank you, LLM-revolution). But at the same time, there’s never been more of a need for those who can get around a CLI properly.

So, how can you use ChatGPT to learn these coveted skills? Let’s dive in.

Learning About Bash Loops

Linux practically runs the world, so getting to know Bash can’t be a bad thing! For starters, we’re going to explore the vast world of loops…but first, what even is a loop?

Prompt: Please explain what loops are within the context of bash scripts.

Break Down What You’re Looking At

Ok, this is great…but what exactly are we looking at? Getting ChatGPT to breakdown what you’re looking at is paramount to understanding the material being presented. Don’t be afraid to do this multiple times!

Prompt: Breakdown the following code for me….

Practical Examples

None of this means much if you don’t know how to apply it…so let’s have ChatGPT come up with some exercises!

(This is arguably one of the coolest parts of using LLMs as tutors.)

Prompt: Please come up with three exercises that incorporate different kind of bash loops…

This just breaches the surface of what’s possible when it comes to using ChatGPT as a learning resource. Don’t be afraid to experiment! Trial and error is your best friend when it comes to getting the most out of your LLM-tutor.

📣 MUSK TEASES xAI LAUNCH

Twitter tweet

Elon Musk is launching xAI's first AI tomorrow to an exclusive squad. The billionaire is aiming high, teasing a tech tussle with AI big dogs like OpenAI and Google.

As one would expect, xAI's packed with brainy folks, from DeepMind to Tesla. The main focus? Deep learning and AI's "theory of everything."

While xAI flirts with hiring sprees and teasing alpha testers, Musk is trying to keep his new play separate from the core Twitter business.

And unlike alternative AI systems that have been caught censoring their outputs, Musk’s AI promises to leave no room for “politically correct” AI.

Between the founding of OpenAI and Tesla’s massive self-driving lead, Elon deserves to be mentioned among the most innovative minds in AI.

Is this his chance to reclaim the spotlight in the industry?

📋 THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE TALKS AI STRATEGY

The DOD's dropping a new AI playbook...

The main goal? Keeping America's military as the sharpest tool in the shed.

This isn't just a refresh; it's a total overhaul from their 2018 strategy. Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks is talking a big game about AI making US decision-making faster and smarter.

The new approach is all about adaptability and speed, gearing up for a future where AI's the de facto ace in the hole.

It's a race, and the Pentagon's not just keeping pace—they're setting the pace with ethics in the driver’s seat.

(On a related note: It’s worth listening to the latest episode of the All In podcast. They argue that government regulation is the last thing that AI needs right now… I tend to agree)

• Vespa: Blossom Capital just spearheaded a $31 million funding round for this startup. According to CEO Jon Bratseth, these funds will be allocated to expand Vespa's operations as an independent entity and bolster the company's engineering capabilities.

  Vespa is the entity behind Vespa Cloud, a platform utilized by various companies for executing AI-driven Big Data services online. They are responsible for the upkeep of the Vespa open-source project, which is consistently updated and employed by organizations that demand high levels of performance, availability, and functionality.
  

• Shield AI: This startup secured $200 million in additional capital to expand its autonomous aerial systems designed for the U.S. military and allied forces.

  Established in 2015, Shield AI is a company at the forefront of AI. Its pioneering Hivemind autonomy stack stands out as the sole AI Pilot of its kind, having been actively engaged in combat operations since 2018.
  

• Voltage Park: Ok, this one’s a bit unconventional: Jed McCaleb (yes, the Stellar guy) and the aerospace entity Vast, have initiated a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that acquired 24,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs for the purpose of establishing data centers. Their plan is to rent out processing capabilities to various AI initiatives.

  The idea itself isn’t new. Folks are all about finding ways to monetize the demand for computation resources these days. However, what is interesting is having a blockchain entrepreneur involved in the endeavor!

💊 ALPHAFOLD BRINGS NEW CAPABILITIES TO DRUG DISCOVERY

DeepMind's AlphaFold has evolved, big time.

It's not just predicting protein structures anymore; it’s mapping almost every molecule you’d find in a human body. We may not be experts, but that sounds like massive news for drug discovery.

Isomorphic Labs, a DeepMind spin-off, is already putting it to work, characterizing molecules for treating diseases. But it doesn't stop there: AlphaFold is also nailing the structure of ligands, nucleic acids, and those tricky post-translational modifications (yea, we needed some ChatGPT help with those too).

Of course, nothing is flawless. AlphaFold struggles a bit when it comes to RNA structures. But hey, Rome wasn't built in a day, right?

It's transforming trial prep and courtroom processes, all from behind the scenes.

Yet, it's not all courtroom drama and flashy tech; experts urge making sure that human eyes check the AI's legal homework.

We're not at “smart court” status yet, but the lines are starting to blur. Lawyers, like Wayne Cohen, give the tech props for efficiency but warn about keeping biases in check.

Grant Assistant

Overview:

Carving a niche in the grant writing domain, Grant Assistant has been building momentum and is starting to turn heads. Spearheaded by Sean Carroll (former COO of USAID) alongside an experienced team including Mustafa Hasnain, Syed Murtaza, and Gilberto Lopez, the startup is on a mission to revolutionize the grant proposal process.

What They Offer:

Grant Assistant goes beyond the conventional grant writing tools. They’re introducing a suite of AI-powered instruments aimed at giving grant writers help when it comes to this complex and intricate work.

Specifically, the platform provides support in analyzing various approaches to a specific grant, targeting beneficiaries, and extracting pertinent information from relevant documents.

The Challenge They Tackle:

Grant writing is notoriously labor-intensive, requiring hundreds of hours and specialized skills. This often makes it a daunting task, especially for smaller organizations. Grant Assistant addresses this challenge head-on, aiming to democratize access to grant opportunities and level the playing field.

Now before any professional grant writers reading this get scared, not to fear! This startup doesn’t intend to replace professional grant writers but rather to augment their capabilities. Just think what the pro’s will be able to do with both their expertise and a suite of grant-writing-enhancing tools.

Now, we know what you’re thinking: how do I get in on some of the action here?

Grant Assistant is a small company, so there currently aren’t any new roles available. However, you can sign up for their beta testing program (just head to their website and scroll to the bottom) while keeping apprised of the latest happenings on their LinkedIn.

🪪 META WANTS TO CHANGE HOW OPEN-SOURCE LICENSING WORKS

Meta's AI research head, Joelle Pineau, is challenging the status quo of open source licensing in AI. She's advocating for a new approach that balances openness with business sensibilities.

Although Meta's Llama 2 is more accessible than competitor models, its limited license raises questions about what truly constitutes open source in the realm of AI.

Within that context, Pineau emphasizes the need for cautious sharing. The bottom line? Ensuring safety while promoting innovation.

The mixed landscape of AI openness, from Google's secrecy to Hugging Face's full embrace of open source, highlights the industry's varying attitudes.

This all adds up to the urgency for evolved licensing to adequately address AI's unique challenges and risks.

Sizing Your Midjourney Creations

Finding your perfect Midjourney prompt can be an exciting…journey (sorry, we had to). But don’t forget: formatting it is a huge part of making it picture-perfect!

Luckily, the folks at Midjourney have your back. They made it easy to adjust your aspect ratio without issue.

So how do you make this happen? It’s super simple! But first, let’s define “aspect ratio” that for those of us who aren’t familiar:

An aspect ratio is the width-to-height ratio of an image. It is typically expressed as two numbers separated by a colon, such as 7:4 or 4:3.

Here’s how customize aspect ratio via Midjourney:

1. Specify the content part of your prompt to your heart’s content.

2. Once you know which aspect ratio you need, add --ar <value>:<value> to the end of your prompt.

3. Press enter and watch the magic happen!

Need some help deciding which aspect ratio you’re looking for? Take a look at these suggestions here:

Common Midjourney Aspect Ratios

--aspect 1:1 Default aspect ratio.
--aspect 5:4 Common frame and print ratio.
--aspect 3:2 Common in print photography.
--aspect 7:4 Close to HD TV screens and smartphone screens.

OpenAI's going full doomsday prepper mode...

They've launched what they're calling the "Preparedness" team (along with the "Preparedness Challenge"). Led by Aleksander Madry from MIT, its goal is to protect us all from AI's potential "catastrophic risks."

Think phishing on steroids and... nuclear threats? Yep, that one made the list.

Given that CEO Sam Altman's been vocal about AI having the potential to lead to our downfall, it shouldn't be a surprise that the company is taking this action.

Regarding that "Preparedness Challenge" part? OpenAI is using that to crowd-source AI risk ideas, dangling $25k and a job as bait.

Happy Hump Day Big Brainers

So we know that Google and Microsoft are both all in on AI. But who’s winning the battle?

Their recent earnings reports may give us an idea… let’s dive in!

Today's AI spotlights:

• AI investments yields varied results amongst tech giants 💸

• Nightshade helps artists to protect their work 👨‍🎨

• Hot AI Startup: ZenML 🤖

• 4 trending AI Jobs 💼

• 3 curated AI tools 🛠️

Read time: 4 minutes

📢 FEATURED AI PRODUCT: Retool

Retool is a visual programming tool to build custom AI-powered apps, chatbots, and workflows 10x faster.

Use AI building blocks to summarize, classify, and generate text and images with any LLM (free OpenAI tokens included). Power chatbots with a free built-in vector database—just upload docs, PDFs, and text from SaaS tools. It's so powerful that OpenAI, Anthropic, and Nvidia use Retool internally.

💸 AI INVESTMENTS YIELD VARIED RESULTS AMONGST TECH GIANTS

Investing is never a straightforward endeavor. Just look at the AI-landscape and that fact will become clear as day…

Most notably, Microsoft and Alphabet's A.I. ventures reveal vastly different outcomes.

Microsoft's shares are up by 3.9%, with a reported $56.3 billion in sales, greatly credited to its Azure cloud and significant investment in OpenAI. What's more, over 18,000 organizations now utilize ‘Azure OpenAI’, and Bing has integrated ChatGPT.

On the other hand, Alphabet's shares dipped by 6.2%. While they saw growth in Google search and YouTube, their cloud results were underwhelming.

Despite this, CEO Sundar Pichai remains committed to leading in A.I.

👨‍🎨 NIGHTSHADE HELPS ARTISTS TO PROTECT THEIR WORK FROM AI

Ever since Midjourney and DALL-E hit the scene, artists have been having trouble holding onto their intellectual property...that is, until now.

Nightshade is a new tool for combatting AI misuse of their work. This tool can be attached to digital art, "poisoning" the data, which confuses and potentially ruins AI art models like DALL-E.

The method involves subtle changes to the pixels, exploiting a vulnerability in the training phase.

The end result? A model that can't distinguish basic images correctly.

As the debate around AI and copyright continues, tools like Nightshade serve as a defense for artists.

💡HOT AI STARTUP

ZenML

Overview:

Founded on the belief that the future is in personalized AI models rather than generalized ones, ZenML is ushering in a new paradigm in AI. This hot new AI startup aims to champion the era of custom, in-house AI models.

As their slogan eloquently puts it, their goal is to create “simple and effective MLOps for modern data teams.”

What They Offer:

ZenML is an open-source framework that serves as a cohesive solution, enabling collaboration between data scientists, ML engineers, and platform engineers. The goal is to empower businesses to create their own bespoke AI models tailored to their specific needs.

In a world dominated by APIs from giants like OpenAI, ZenML provides an alternative that reduces dependence on these API providers.

The Challenge They Tackle:

While it's tempting to rely on big players like OpenAI for AI functionalities, ZenML founders Adam Probst and Hamza Tahir observed that such solutions are often over-trained and expensive for specialized use cases. They envisioned a future where most enterprises would lean towards open-source models, customized on proprietary data for unique requirements.

Open Roles:

The only open role that ZenML currently has is one for a Frontend Engineer. However, you can always keep an eye on upcoming positions at the “Career” section of their website here.

📱 QUALCOMM’S SNAPDRAGON CHIP LEAK MAKES HUGE SPLASH

Looks like Qualcomm's trying to change phone game...

The semiconductor company just released some teasers on the Snapdragon 8, Gen 3. Apparently, it's AI-heavy.

Expect features like AI-driven camera tools with ultra-fast speeds (the chip boasts speeds that are 98% faster than previous models). Not only that, but it'll be able to run AI models like Stable Diffusion and Llama 2. Clearly, Qualcomm's stepping it up.

Samsung's Galaxy S24 will likely be the first to sport it. They'll also be integrating 30% faster CPU, 240fps gaming, and advanced 5G support.

More details drop at Qualcomm’s event tomorrow. We're keeping our eyes peeled!

🪨 FORMER GOOGLE CEO’S $100M AI VENTURE FUND IS OFF TO A ROCKY START

Ok, this one may be a bit drama-heavy, but we couldn't help ourselves...

Billionaire Eric Schmidt, once atop Google, has sunk at least $100M into startup accelerator Steel Perlot with 29-year-old girlfriend CEO Michelle Ritter (and yes, Mr. Schmidt happens to also be married).

Steel Perlot aimed big, promising to foster next-gen ventures...even though no one seems to truly know what the company is all about.

Schmidt has previously described it as “an AI and analytics company of companies.”

Another interesting tidbit is Ritter dropping names like Bezos & Bloomberg being involved...yet, no solid proof has come out on that either.

So far, they’ve invested $20 million into more than a dozen companies, including AI company Pryon.

Schmidt has also been very active around Washington in regards to AI.

Is Steel Perlot a strategic part of his AI plans? Or is this turning into a sideshow gone wrong?

Only time will tell.

💡AI CAREER TUTORIAL

✍️ CRAFT A COMPELLING COVER LETTER

You’ve heard about it from your coworkers…you’ve seen friends posting about it…can ChatGPT actually make you a solid cover letter?

With the right strategy, absolutely! Let’s get right into it:

• Understand the job requirements: Provide ChatGPT with specifics about the job you're applying for — including the job title, key responsibilities, and desired qualifications. Prompt: "I'm applying for a software developer position where teamwork and problem-solving skills are vital."

Hint: You can use multiple prompts to “train” ChatGPT on the data that’s important to you. For example, you could say “Please respond in the affirmative once you’ve integrated the following data…”

• Detail your background: Share brief details about your educational and professional background. This helps ChatGPT understand your qualifications. Prompt: "I have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and 3 years of experience in full-stack development."

• Highlight your skills and achievements: Ask ChatGPT to help you list and elaborate on your key skills and accomplishments. Prompt: "Help me describe my proficiency in Java and a project where I led a team to build a mobile application."

• Address the hiring manager: If you know the name of the hiring manager or the person to whom you are addressing the cover letter, share that with ChatGPT. Prompt: "The hiring manager's name is Alex Johnson."

• Generate cover letter content: Once you’re ready to go, have ChatGPT draft a compelling cover letter for you by prompting: "Using the details above, craft a cover letter for the software developer position."

One last thing before you get started: remember, all LLM-based content needs human touch. So while ChatGPT can be a great assistant, you’ll still need to put in the legwork to get the most genuine output!

After all, AI is here to enhance us, not replace us! 🤩

🧑‍⚖️ UNIVERSAL GOES AFTER ANTHROPIC OVER COPYRIGHT LAW

Universal Music's got some beef with Anthropic...

What's it over? You guessed it: alleged copyright infringement.

The situation came to the music giant's attention that Anthropic’s AI, Claude 2, dishes out copyrighted lyrics without proper licensing. This includes tunes like “Roar” and “American Pie”, which other lyric platforms pay for the rights.

Universal is basically saying that this it’s not innovation, it's plain old theft. And what does Anthropic have to say for itself? Well, they’re giving somewhat mixed signals, making a point to dodge certain copyrighted content but not all.

Regardless, this is another example of AI copyright issues heating up. Don't worry, we'll be watching closely to see where it all ends up.

📺 IS APPLE ACTUALLY CANCELLING JON STEWART?

What exactly could cause the beloved late night show host to get cancelled? Apparently, Apple TV and him differed over topics surrounding AI and China.

From what we're told, the tech giant was uncomfortable about certain guests and discussions involving China and AI. They wanted Stewart to be on the same page, but we all know that he has no problem going against the grain.

It’s a shame, since Stewart post-Daily Show was a 2020 win for Apple. Now, we'll have to see how this development effects them.

The biggest question we're asking though is: what exactly does Apple have to fear about China?

🤑 AI FUNDRAISING WRAP UP

• Baichuan: This Chinese startup from Beijing just secured over $300 million in their Series A1 funding round. Notably, heavyweights like Alibaba, Tencent, and Xiaomi are leading the charge.

  Baichuan has made a mark as a leading AI developer in China, focusing on generative AI and expansive language models, rivaling giants like Microsoft and OpenAI. Since hitting the scene, they've released several LLMs, including four open-source ones.
  

• Creative Force: This content-centric company just bagged $8.9 million in their Series A raise. As a result, they're now valued at $56 million, backed by entities like the Export and Investment Fund of Denmark and Hearst Ventures.

  Founded in 2019 in Denmark, Creative Force assists retailers and brands in crafting content for marketing and online sales. Their platform boosts content production, ramping up efficiency by about 30% on average.
  

• Reality Defender: This AI startup announced a $15 million raise from their Series A funding round. DCVC spearheaded the investment, joined by backers like Comcast, Ex/ante and Parameter Ventures.

  Reality Defender is focused on creating tools to spot deepfakes and AI-crafted content (talk about product market fit!). They began as a nonprofit, but pivoted towards outside financial backing once they realized just how big of a problem deepfakes are currently and will become.

✌️ AMAZON’S ROBOTS ARE HERE TO HELP, NOT TO TAKE OVER

Amazon's got a shiny new toy, and its name is the Sequoia robotics system.

Launched in Houston, it's set to supercharge delivery by 25%. And no, Jeff isn't firing workers anytime soon—these robots are here to work with humans, not replace 'em.

Remember those robo-chats about Amazon's warehouse tech? The Sequoia's the result: a smart system bringing items down to human-height (bye-bye, backaches) and robots like Sparrow, Proteus, and Hercules that play warehouse fetch.

Think Roombas, but for Amazon's massive aisles.

Is this the future of delivery? Could be! But before any fears even need to be quelled, Amazon's making it clear that Sequoia is here to help, not to take over.

📢 THIS AI APP IS PUTTING HUMAN INTERACTION BACK IN THE MIX

Here at Big Brain, we pride ourselves on covering interesting ways you can integrate AI into your life. But what about using AI to get less AI in your life?

Introducing Superfy, an app that leverages AI to link users to authentic, human answers in real time. Ditching traditional NLP, its Matchpoint AI system taps into dynamic user chats to evolve and connect folks.

So how're the results? Turns out only 10% of queries linger without a swift human reply (not bad!). At the moment, their main fanbase is the Gen Z crowd, located in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.

As Superfy grows, its aim is wider than Gen Z. But for now, it's where young folks are flocking for real-world chats.

🔥 HOT AI STARTUP

Bot It

Overview:

Remember when agentic chatbots were all the rage earlier this year? Well, one startup is taking that enthusiasm to the next level.

Bot-It provides a robust automation platform that enables consumers and businesses alike to easily design custom online bots. And nope, you don’t even need to have coding experience!

They’re all about bridging the gap between hype and reality by giving their customers the tools they need to create their very own J.A.R.V.I.S.

What They Offer:

Thanks in large part to ChatGPT, the chatbot revolution has taken the world by storm. But what’s even better than a bot that you can interact with? How about one where you don’t even have to do that?

That’s the gist of agentic chatbots: set-it and forget-it. In theory, mass adoption of agentic chatbots can act as another revolutionary layer to the AI party that’s already started.

That’s where Bot-It comes in. As they say in their slogan, “Online automation for everyone.”

The Challenge They Tackle:

While the likes of AutoGPT has come a long way, it’s not exactly what we’d call “user-friendly”. Put simply, Bot-It is trying to make chatbot agents that even our grandmas can use. Until then, it won’t stand a chance at mainstream adoption.

And with a simple and easy-to-use UX, Bot-It is well on it’s way to making it happen! Plus, recent press from their Shark Tank appearance certainly doesn’t hurt.

🚫 US CLOSES LOOPHOLES ON AI CHIPS EXPORTED TO CHINA

We've been hearing about it for a while, but it looks like it's finally happening....

The U.S. is ramping up its restrictions on chip exports to China by closing various loopholes, focusing heavily on AI chips. The Biden administration is especially aiming to prevent U.S. technology from bolstering China's military.

In response, China's accusing the U.S. of suppressing its tech companies.

A notable instance from the past year is Nvidia facing export blocks on its premier AI chips. But don't worry, they have a workaround: they'll be releasing a pared-down version for the Chinese market.

With new guidelines on the horizon, China's AI development could face more obstacles. As these tech chess moves unfold, the intricacies of U.S.-China relations are further revealed.

🤖 IS META TURNING INTO AN AI COMPANY?

Meta's main focus as a company is the metaverse...right…? (Cue Anakin/Padme meme).

From their name, one might think that; but their annual Connect event felt more like an AI confab than a VR one.

At this point, Mark's all about Llama, Meta's answer to OpenAI's ChatGPT. Unlike GPT though, Meta says it's going open source. Their goal is to essentially become the "Linux of AI".

But Wall Street's scratching its head - how do you value a free product, especially when that model's changing the LLM landscape?

Zuckerberg's endgame isn't just short term cash. He's banking on talent attraction and third-party tinkering to refine Llama.

Oh, and Hugging Face? It's pretty much Llama's playground now. Remember, it's not just about the tech; it's about the long game.

🌏 HENRY KISSINGER TALKS AI AND THE GLOBAL STAGE

When Henry Kissinger talks about the intersection of AI and geopolitics, we stop what we're doing and listen.

The famed politician just teamed up with Graham Allison to write about the challenges that AI brings to the global stage.

They discuss concerns from AI altering global power dynamics to potential misuses in large-scale violence. The big question that their piece explores is how history can possibly provide a roadmap.

If we're to take a note from the nuclear age, then the key things to focus on are the following: collaboration, setting standards, and ensuring AI benefits humanity without catastrophic consequences.

Currently, the AI race is dominated by two giants: the US and China. With this comes great responsibility and opportunity to define the future of AI.

🎤 CYBERPUNK 2077 ACTOR’S VOICE IS REBORN WITH AI

As Cyberpunk 2077 fanatics know, Projekt Red faced a challenge when actor Miłogost “Miłek” Reczek, the voice behind Viktor Vektor, passed away before the Phantom Liberty DLC was complete.

Now, fans can get a blast from the pass. The beloved game developers partnered with the Kyiv-based tech startup, Respeecher, to replicate Reczek's voice with AI.

Here's how it went down:

After obtaining permission from the late actor's family, Janusz Zadura recorded some new lines while imitating Miłek's signature style. That plus some AI-magic, and wa-la: Viktor was reborn.

Still, this use of AI in the creative industry is sparking debates. Organizations like SAG-AFTRA are playing it safe and advocating for protective measures.

🧹 ADOBE’S NEW AI TOOLS TURNS OLD VIDEOS ANEW

Adobe's taking us back...wayyy back, when 300+ PPI (pixels per inch) was a distant dream.

They're rolling out "Project Res-Up", which is designed to refresh old videos & GIFs using AI.

For example, it transformed a 1947 film clip and enhanced the pixel count by 675%! With that and overall sharper features, it basically made it look brand new. It's also capable of making low-res elephant footage clearer with added skin wrinkles.

And let’s not forget: most importantly, we can now revamp those OG memes! Exciting stuff indeed.

🔥 HOT AI STARTUP

BrainBox AI

Overview:

BrainBox AI is all about figuring out how to help companies fight climate change. They’re doing this by employing deep learning, cloud computing, and their very own, unique method to facilitate buildings that operate autonomously.

The Montreal-based startup was founded in 2017 by Sean Neely and Jean-Simon Venne.

What They Offer:

Combining AI and methods of reducing carbon emissions is a match made in heaven. As pioneers in the worldwide energy shift, BrainBox AI's groundbreaking HVAC technology uses autonomous AI to enhance building intelligence, sustainability, and efficiency.

The company also serves a diverse range of real estate clients, such as office spaces, hotels, commercial retail outlets, supermarkets, airports, and beyond.

The Challenge They Tackle:

Commercial structures contribute significantly to worldwide GHG emissions. BrainBox Ai’s self-operating decarbonization approach targets these emissions by monitoring, diminishing, and compensating for them. This helps building owners on their paths to achieve net zero and carbon-neutral statuses.

And while we certainly love any endeavor that helps our planet, it also saves businesses on energy costs! Hard to argue with a solution like that.

Open Roles:

• Deployment Specialist

• Financial Controller

• Senior Manager Energy & Sustainability

• Director of HR
