Latest Developments 🌍

From Web to Robot 🤖

Google DeepMind’s Robotic Transformer 2 (RT-2) is a groundbreaking vision-language-action (VLA) model that combines web and robotics data to provide generalized instructions for robotic control, demonstrating improved semantic understanding and reasoning abilities beyond its robotic training.

Overflow AI with Stacks of Answers 📚

Stack Overflow, a lifeline for coders, has now launched OverflowAI. This suite of AI-powered features, including an updated AI search and tools for Stack Overflow for Teams, is set to revolutionize how we find and use tech info. Despite a recent survey showing only 40% of developers trust AI tools, most are keen to use them.

OpenSource Copilot 👩‍💻

Continue is the open-source autopilot for software development, a VS Code extension that brings the power of ChatGPT to your IDE. It can help you answer coding questions, edit code with natural language and generate code files from scratch.

AI and the Church ⛪️

Gloo is a technology platform that has launched the algorithm-based "AI & the Church" initiative. It's designed to release the power of God's grace and mercy, love and justice, compassion and caring. For example, let's say someone is having trouble in their marriage and starts searching the web for answers. The AI algorithm could direct that person not to divorce lawyers — but to faith-based marriage counselors 🤯

AI-Guided Ghost Missiles 🚀

Iran's latest boast involves AI-powered missiles, aiming for perfect precision through tech that dodges obstacles. Critics question its authenticity, given Iran's history of theatrical military displays. The announcement came alongside the unveiling of the 'Abu Mahdi', a missile touted as AI-guided by Iran's Defense Minister.

More AI Developments

• AI Vision in the Dark: Heat-assisted detection and ranging (HADAR) uses AI to overcome thermal vision's limitation of the "ghosting effect", achieving texture and depth perception in darkness and accurate thermography.

• Talk to Text: Assembly AI introduces LeMUR, an API that facilitates the development of LLM applications on spoken data, enabling search, summarizing, question-answering, and text generation from audio inputs with just a single API call.

• From Memory to AI Powerhouse: Samsung is extending its cut in memory chip production due to operating losses in its memory chip unit; however, it plans to focus on high-performance AI chips due to robust demand.

• AI Lighthouse: ServiceNow, NVIDIA, and Accenture join forces for AI Lighthouse, a program to accelerate generative AI adoption in enterprises and enable the collaborative creation of AI-based initiatives.

• Bypassing Safety Controls in Chatbots: Researchers discovered that widely used chatbots' safety measures, including ChatGPT, Bard, and Claude, can be bypassed by appending long suffixes to prompts, generating harmful information.

Tools of the Trade ⚒️

• Rewind: Captures everything you’ve seen on your Mac and iPhone and makes it searchable with AI.

• Artifact: AI-powered news app, now you can listen to articles in 30+ voices including fun, celebrity voices like Snoop Dogg and Gwyneth Paltrow.

• Hexowatch: Monitors any website for visual, content, source code, technology, availability, or price changes.

• Tailor Brands: Create unique logos customized for your business and preferred style.

• PodPilot: Creates high-quality podcast series for organizations using your website as a starting point, and publish it to various platforms with a single click.

Hot Takes 🔥

• Jobs are definitely going to go away because of AI, full stop. ~Sam Altman
