It's my birthday today, so to celebrate, I got Native instruments to run a 'Summer of Sound Sale' just for you.
OK no not really but it does coincide which works out well.
Anyway, treat yourself to a new library or something, and if you use my link, I get a little present too. No extra cost for you though of course, that would be mean. https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=2580308&u=3556228&m=77930&urllink=&afftrack=
Finally tried #OpenAI’s GPT-4o chatbot and asked it about my go-to LLM topic (my favorite #CahillConcialdi map projection). It gave a factually incorrect answer. 🤷
People are suddenly flocking to ChatGPT Plus on mobile. On the day of GPT-4o's release, ChatGPT's mobile revenue rose 22%, the most revenue for the app ever in a single day. That was only the start.
#UX#UserExperience#OpenAI#AI#GPT4o#GenerativeAI: "It is unethical to slap an interface, which convincingly simulates 100% confidence, onto a product which is anything less than 100% accurate, let alone a product that CTO, Mira Murati, calls “pretty good”.
No exceptions; no “it will get better”. If the house doesn’t have a roof, don’t paint the walls.
This does not mean that reduction or removal of complexity is inherently deceitful, but it does mean that the complexity which informs a person, not how, but why something works the way it does can be an important factor in them deciding to use it.
Nothing could make this more evident than the crypto/web3 community’s obsession with “mass adoption” which they generally resolve to being a UX problem. They know that the complexity of crypto is intimidating to non-technical people (crimes and scams aside) so they relentlessly try to remove as much of the complexity as possible.
The unfortunate thing about removing complexity is that you never remove it, but rather, you move it to another place. The other place is always what crypto people like to call a “trusted third party” the very thing that Bitcoin, was created to eliminate."
i took a picture of my daughter’s math assignment and #gpt4o completely it with 100% accuracy. i had a talk with her about how these tools for cheating will always be available to her, but if she uses them she won’t learn.
thought: she’s doing this math because she wants to. what happens when she’s assigned work, and the cheat way seems more attractive?
User: Make simple python application using pygame. Let it opens in the center of the screen, be 512x512 in size and have a hearth icon/shape inside that changes size in hearthbeat fashion.
It works! Looks like Sci-Fi when it does each step just as any other junior programmer. Runs code, checks errors, adds graphics (almost hearth) and in the end even creates venv for this project.
“The certain knowledge that Kevin Roose is a credulous dumbass who makes a jingle-bell sound if he nods his head real fast only does so much to moderate the obscenity and offensiveness of his ascribing ‘playful intelligence’ and ‘emotional intuition’ to a predictive text generator.”
Kevin Roose so desperately wants to live in the futures tech companies are selling that he’ll eagerly do their PR for them and buy into whatever illusions of intelligence they put in front of him so he can trick himself into believing they’ll actually be realized this time.
I don't mean to virtue signal but #openai released #gpt4o the other day and I've tried it once and haven't bothered since. Literally can't give it away to me.
#AI#GenerativeAI#OpenAI#GPT4o: "The smooth interactivity that OpenAI has laboured hard to enable does well to paper over the cracks of the underlying technology. When ChatGPT first elbowed its way noisily into our lives in November 2022, those who had been following the technology for decades pointed out that AI in its current form was little more than snazzy pattern-matching technology – but they were drowned out by the excited masses. The next step towards human-like interaction is only going to amplify the din.
That’s great news for OpenAI, a company already valued at more than $80bn, and with investment from the likes of Microsoft. Its CEO, Sam Altman, tweeted last week that GPT-4o “feels like magic to me”. It’s also good news for others in the AI space, who are capitalising on the ubiquity of the technology and layering it into every aspect of our lives. Microsoft Word and PowerPoint now come with generative AI tools folded into them. Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, is putting its AI chatbot assistant into its apps in many countries, much to some users’ chagrin.
But it’s less good for ordinary users. Less friction between asking an AI system to do something and it actually completing the task is good for ease of use, but it also helps us forget that we’re not interacting with sentient beings. We need to remember that, because AI is not infallible; it comes with biases and environmental issues, and reflects the interests of its makers. These pressing issues are explored in my book, and the experts I spoke to tell me they represent significant concerns for the future." https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/14/chat-gtp-40-ai-human-corporate-product
I'm looking forward to try #Gpt4O from #OpenAI. Interesting, will there be times when I get my true personal assistant? I've been dreaming about a virtual assistant from my childhood literally :)
