This is seriously impressive and an absolute game changer, we are already looking at previews of this and it is as good as the promo material states, if not better, it is now being released in phases, expect to see it on your desktop soon.

I have to admit the speed of development of these ai in recent years scares me and the lack of attention to safety is making me very anxious. Definitely needs to slow down. They've gone from narrow to broader systems very quickly.

In the video above it was saying that it had scanned emails to extract extra information about the invite.

So, it is pretty terrifying how much it is mining.

Not sure if you're aware, but if you use Gmail it will by default scan emails and add any travel booking details to the account's Google calendar. Which will get shared to other partners to advertise localised stuff for that trip

I've been playing with image generators (Stable Diffusion mainly) and ChatGPT3. A friend has integrated ChatGPT4 into his job (only him and his boss are aware of this), it's now creating detailed instructions on various tasks that are used by the PM team, and doing low level dev work.

It's a bit scary when you start messing around with it yourself and see the potential.

Anyone who read these blogs 8 years ago and decided they may have enough validity to warrant adjusting their career path is looking good now. Still not sure it'll go as far as those blogs state, but AI was underestimated back then, still seems that way now.

AI is already influencing football, but is it ready to manage a club?

Grimsby Town FC owner Jason Stockwood said artificial intelligence is already influencing the game with teams using it to sign players.

Because it was told to essentially. OpenAI opened the taskrabbit account and told the algorithm to ask a worker to solve a captcha without telling it that it's a robot.

I have installed a gpt chat app called genie (chatgpt4)

My daughter wanted a short story. So I had it make one up.

Tell me a short story about a goldfish and a shark.

It didn’t disappoint, no gore fortunately. Although the goldfish apparently lived in the sea (salt water), so it’s not that smart!

It was a prompt to figure out how it would do it.

But with autoGPT projects abound, it’s only a matter of time before they can do it for real:

I love how tech companies are always trying to find a "solution" to help us be more productive, as if what you currently have to do is like ascending K2 on a daily basis.

80% of people probably spend 20% of their workday pissing about on their phones using the useless shite that tech companies pump out, another 20% talking to colleagues about what shite shows they are watching on Netflix or Prime, or whatever the current shite celebrity reality show is on, and the rest of the day is probably spent doing the absolute bare minimum required not to get fired.

I get that they need a sales pitch to make us think we are actually getting something in return for them making a fortune from mining data from our lives, but productivity!? :lol:

I frequently get cold email sales pitches offering trials for software that will help us "automate" our sales/purchase ledger.

Utter bollocks. On the purchase ledger front, invoices still need approved by hairy arsed operations guys that want a print out of the invoice and delivery note, before they approve it (they are dickheads tbf but its a reality of life). On sales ledger, about 75% of our customers already pay on certain dates in the month anyway, and the other 25% need to be called to be told they are either not getting any more product until they pay up or need to threatened with being referred for debt collection (both of which is usually effective).

Paying 20k a year for a bit of software that looks pretty isn't going to provide a "solution" to either.

At law firm I recently worked at, it was matching client payments which was the biggest challenge. It wasn’t just to do with payments with bad/missing references, but with offer law firms and mortgage companies who only put their own references in.

A lot to sort through, but they managed the chaos.

It could have done with a decent tracking system, or even open banking. Made the bank reconciliation a big job.

So automation/auto process there could help. But there’s still humans needed to rubber stamp it.

However, if the Tories somehow remain in power, there's a non-zero chance of them letting the UK be the Wild West of AI !

Our first big Brexit economic win is within grasp

Britain can capitalise on the EU's caution if it can resist being drawn into its AI regulatory orbit

There will be controls on privacy and facial recognition. Copyrights will be upheld. And there will be safeguards to make sure that employees and consumers are adequately protected.

As the new generation of chatbots take Artificial Intelligence into the mainstream for the first time, the European Union is planning the first regulatory system for the booming industry, and officials and parliamentarians are weighing in with their long lists of demands.
Doubtless there need to be some rules in place, and AI systems cannot become some new Wild West.

But the EU’s planned rules, typical of the bloc, look as though they may turn into a bureaucratic monster that will punish start-ups and crush innovation.


How would you feel about AI analyzing your posting history to decide if your CV gets dropped in the shredder or not ?
