Good morning, Caffeinators☀️

We have a balanced article today! On one side we have OpenAI’s ambition. On the other, we have the AI Godfather’s warnings. Let’s dive in!

Today’s Starting Sips:

• 📉 OpenAI Going Down a Slippery Slope

• ⚡️ AI GodFather Strikes… Again

• 🎣 Major Updates for GPT Devs

📉 OpenAI Going Down a Slippery Slope

OpenAI made a bold move that could be summed up with 3 words: Artificial. General. Intelligence. It’s a slippery slope…

Details:

• OpenAI recently revised the company’s core values. The first one says “AGI focus - Anything that doesn’t help with that is out of scope.”

• Unlike AI, AGI has consciousness (It’s like AI, but woken)

• The other new values include “Intense and scrappy, Scale, Make something people love, and Team spirit”, which seem trivial compared to AGI

My Thoughts:

OpenAI is all in on AGI, and the stakes are high (potentially the human race). We might witness machines that can think, act, and even argue like us in the near future.

As tech enthusiasts, it's like watching your favorite sci-fi movie unfolding in real-time. It will be interesting to pay attention to OpenAI’s timeline and real-world integration of AGI once they announce it.

⚡️ AI GodFather Strikes… Again

Geoffrey Hinton left Google 6 months ago so that he could speak freely about AI. With his current opinions of AI, he is a harsh godfather.

Main Points:

• Progression - AIs are progressing fast. Machines could surpass human intelligence soon

• Capabilities - current AI systems aren’t as complex compared to the human brain. But they are BIGGER, FASTER, and more EFFICIENT

• Uncertainty - Humans have a limited understanding of how these AI systems work

• Risk - unemployment due to automation, spread of fake news, biases in decision-making, and robots in warfare

Takeaways:

The interview highlights the future challenges and opportunities in AI. Hinton believes that informed decisions and a collaborative approach are the future of humans and AI.

🎣 Major Updates for GPT Devs

If you are a developer, you are in for a treat!

OpenAI is making some changes. It will help developers make new apps easier and cheaper.

Specifics:

• Memory Storage - OpenAI is adding a tool that can help app makers save 20 times the cost

• Vision API - Vision API will roll out soon (ChatGPT users got a taste of this feature earlier this month)

• MultiModal - Allows developers to create not just words, but also images, audio, and video

• November 6 - OpenAI will show off these new tools at its developer conference in San Francisco.

Why it is important: 

In the world of AI, being the coolest and most useful tool matters.

With these updates, OpenAI is setting itself apart. It is no longer just a consumer tool. It will become essential for developers. And with the company receiving a whopping $20 billion in investments this year, they're in a prime position to take control.
