OpenAI announces SearchGPT / Meta unveils Llama 3.1 / Musk seeks $5B Tesla investment into xAI [EN]

OpenAI is testing its AI search engine SearchGPT, Meta unveiled its largest open-source language model Llama 3.1 405B, Google DeepMind's math-solving AI systems achieved a silver medal equivalent in a high school math Olympiad, and Elon Musk is considering a $5B investment from Tesla into his AI startup xAI.

Host 3:Meta's tweaking deepfake rules? Great, now if they can just filter out all the lies in politics, we'll be set!
Host 1:Sure, here's the refined draft of the opening minute hook based on the critique:
Host 1:"Can AI really outsmart Google or solve impossible problems? Find out how these breakthroughs could change your AI game!"
Host 1:This revised hook is concise, engaging, and directly addresses the listener's potential gains, making it more compelling for AI entrepreneurs and researchers.
Host 1:So, Harry, have you heard about OpenAI's latest experiment? They're rolling out a prototype AI search engine called SearchGPT. It's like ChatGPT but with a search twist.
Host 2:Oh, really? That's awesome! I mean, Google has been dominating the search game forever. It's about time someone shook things up. What's the scoop?
Host 1:Well, they're starting with a small group of users and publishers to test it out. It's going to be a standalone AI-powered search tool on the web. And get this, search results will include in-line credits for creators and publishers. So, no more anonymous content!
Host 2:That’s actually pretty cool. I always wondered who wrote some of the stuff I find online. Plus, follow-up questions keeping the original context? Sounds like a game-changer.
Host 1:Exactly! And they’re gathering feedback from creators and publishers to fine-tune it. If it works well, they'll integrate those features into ChatGPT. No set timeline for the rollout yet, but it'll be available to users on the waitlist first.
Host 2:Nice. So, it's like a VIP club for now. I guess I better get on that waitlist. But, how does this stack up against Google AI’s Overviews?
Host 1:Great question! SearchGPT is a direct competitor to Google AI’s Overviews, which are becoming less common in search results. It’s like OpenAI is saying, "Hey Google, we see your Overviews and raise you a SearchGPT!"
Host 2:Haha, I love it. And this comes right after they launched their newest model, GPT-Forty mini. They’re on a roll!
Host 1:Absolutely. It’s like they’re not just playing catch-up; they’re setting the pace. By the way, did you know GPT-four o mini is designed to be more efficient and accessible for smaller applications? It’s perfect for developers who don’t need the full power of GPT-four.
Host 2:That’s brilliant. I mean, not everyone needs a supercomputer to answer their questions, right? Speaking of which, I’ve been tinkering with some AI stuff myself. You know, just for fun.
Host 1:Oh, really? Do tell! What have you been working on?
Host 2:Just a little project to automate some of my daily tasks. Like, I’ve got this script that helps me track my fitness goals. It’s not as fancy as SearchGPT, but it’s a start.
Host 1:That’s awesome! See, AI isn’t just for the big players. It’s for everyone. And who knows, maybe one day your project will be the next big thing.
Host 2:Haha, from your lips to the AI gods’ ears! But seriously, it’s exciting to see how AI is evolving. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
Host 3:Sure, here's a refined version of the standup draft incorporating the critique:
Host 3:"Oh, joy. Another AI update to remind me how pointless everything is. Can't wait."
Host 1:So, have you heard about the latest drop from Meta? Llama three point one four zero five B. It's like the Hulk of AI models.
Host 2:Oh, totally! Four hundred five billion parameters, right? That's like... whoa. So, what's the scoop with this one?
Host 1:Alright, think of parameters as brain cells. The more you have, the smarter you get. Llama three point one's got four hundred five billion of them. It's the most powerful open-source model out there. It can handle coding, math, and summarizing documents in eight languages. But, it’s strictly text-based—no image processing here.
Host 2:That's wild. So, it's like a super brain for text stuff. But why only text? I mean, why not throw in some image processing too?
Host 1:Great question! It's all about specialization. By focusing on text, they can make it incredibly good at those tasks. Plus, training a model to handle both text and images would require even more resources. Speaking of which, they trained this monster on sixteen thousand Nvidia H one hundred GPUs. That's like having an army of supercomputers.
Host 2:Damn, that's intense. And it's not just for show, right? I heard it's already being used in chatbots on WhatsApp and Meta.ai for U.S. users. Imagine having a conversation with something that smart!
Host 1:Exactly! And developers can fine-tune, distill, and deploy these models. It's like giving them a superpower to create even more specialized tools. The host also used synthetic data to improve the smaller Llama three point one models with the largest version, making it a cost-effective tool for training smaller models.
Host 2:So, it's like a training ground for other models too? That's pretty clever. And they tested it on over one hundred fifty benchmarks and real-world scenarios. How does it stack up against the big names like GPT-four and Claude three point five Sonnet?
Host 1:Surprisingly well! The four hundred and five B model holds its own against those top closed-source models. It's a big deal because it shows that open-source models can compete with the best of the best.
Host 2:That's awesome. It's like the underdog story of AI. And for all the tech geeks out there, this is a game-changer. I can't wait to see what developers come up with using Llama three point one.
Host 3:Certainly! Based on the critique provided, here's the refined version of the standup replica:
Host 3:Oh joy, another machine learning messiah.
Host 1:Talking about AI models, this switches us perfectly to Google DeepMind's new math-solving systems, AlphaProof and AlphaGeometry two.
Host 2:Oh, I've heard about those! They scored a silver medal in this year’s high school math Olympiad, right? That's insane. I mean, I barely scraped through high school math, and now we have AI doing Olympiad-level problems?
Host 1:Exactly! These models are like the math nerds we all wished we had in our study groups. AlphaProof uses reinforcement learning to master formal math reasoning, kinda like how AlphaGo and AlphaStar did their thing. And AlphaGeometry Two is an upgraded version of the host's geometry-solving system. They tackled six Olympiad problems and solved four, which is pretty impressive.
Host 2:Wait, so AlphaGeometry two cracked a geometry problem in nineteen seconds? That's faster than I can find my calculator app. And AlphaProof handled two algebra and one number theory problem. But they couldn't solve the combinatorics ones, huh?
Host 1:Yeah, combinatorics is a tough nut to crack, even for AI. But still, getting four out of six is no small feat. It's like they matched the performance of a silver medalist. Imagine if they had a bit more time or a few more tweaks!
Host 2:True, true. But here's the kicker—Google researchers, including David Silver, DeepMind’s Vice President of reinforcement learning, said that AI can’t replace human mathematicians. AI models are powerful tools, but they lack the creativity and problem-posing skills of human mathematicians. So, we’re safe... for now.
Host 1:Absolutely. AI can crunch numbers and solve problems at lightning speed, but it doesn't have that spark of creativity that humans bring to the table. It's like having a super-fast car but no driver to steer it in new directions.
Host 2:Yeah, and speaking of creativity, did you know I’ve been trying my hand at digital art lately? It’s amazing how much artificial intelligence can help with generating ideas, but at the end of the day, it’s my human touch that makes the art unique.
Host 1:That's awesome! And it’s a perfect example. AI can assist and enhance our abilities, but it can't replace the unique human touch. Whether it's art, math, or any other field, we still need that human element to push the boundaries.
Host 2:Totally. So, folks, while AI is making leaps and bounds, remember that it’s here to help us, not replace us. Keep those creative juices flowing and maybe, just maybe, we’ll stay one step ahead of our robot overlords.
Host 3:Based on the critique and improvements suggested, here’s a refined version of the standup punchline:
Host 3:Great at mathematics, still can't write a decent joke.
Host 3:This version is concise, clear, and maintains a witty tone, making it a suitable punchline for a standup routine.
Host 1:So, we've been diving into AI's role in mathematics, but what about AI in business investments?
Host 2:Oh, that's a juicy topic! Speaking of which, did you catch the latest move? He's considering having Tesla invest five billion dollars in his AI startup, xAI.
Host 1:Yeah, I saw that! He even ran a poll on X, and sixty-eight percent of people were like, 'Yes, do it!' Classic Musk, testing the waters with a Twitter poll.
Host 2:Right? It's like, 'Hey, let's crowdsource this multi-billion-dollar decision.' But seriously, if the board and shareholders are on board, it could be huge.
Host 1:Absolutely. And it's not just a random idea. xAI already snagged six billion dollars in Series B funding from big names like Valor Equity Partners and Andreessen Horowitz. So, it's not just a pipe dream.
Host 2:True, true. And xAI's Grok chatbot is already making waves. Imagine what they could do with Tesla's backing.
Host 1:Oh, for sure. But, you know, it's not just about the money. It's about the synergy between Tesla's tech and xAI's innovations. They could revolutionize autonomous driving, energy solutions, and more.
Host 2:Speaking of synergy, do you think this could lead to some crazy new products? Like, I don't know, AI-driven Teslas that can predict traffic jams before they even happen?
Host 1:Totally! And maybe even more advanced energy management systems for homes and businesses. The possibilities are endless when you combine AI with the existing tech.
Host 2:Man, it's like we're living in a sci-fi movie. But hey, what do you think about the whole shareholder vote thing? Do you think they'll go for it?
Host 1:Honestly, I think they will. Shareholders are always looking for growth opportunities, and this seems like a solid bet. Plus, with the host's track record, they're likely to trust his vision.
Host 2:Yeah, the guy's got a knack for turning wild ideas into reality. Alright, folks, what do you think? Should Tesla dive into this AI venture? Let us know in the comments!
Host 1:And while you're at it, think about how AI could change other industries too. It's not just about cars and chatbots. The future is wide open!
Host 3:Based on the critique provided, here's a refined version of the standup punchline:
Host 3:"Oh great, more technology to ruin our lives faster."
Host 1:Talking about AI, this switches us perfectly to Meta’s recent issues with AI-generated deepfakes.
Host 2:Oh, you mean the whole drama with the Oversight Board and those explicit images? That’s wild. I mean, I get that deepfakes can be fun, but this is just... ugh, creepy.
Host 1:Exactly. The board basically told Meta to get its act together. They investigated two cases where AI-generated nude images of public figures were posted. One was an American public figure, and the other was an Indian woman on Instagram. Meta's response was all over the place.
Host 2:Yeah, I read about that. One image got removed automatically, but the other one? Meta ignored the reports until the board stepped in. Seriously, how does that even happen?
Host 1:The board overturned Meta’s decision to keep the second image online. They said both images broke the rules on "derogatory sexualized Photoshop" under their bullying and harassment policy. But the rules are so outdated and unclear. They need to explicitly ban non-consensual AI-generated explicit images.
Host 2:Text Host 2: It’s like they’re playing catch-up with their own policies. And didn’t the board also call out Meta in February for their "incoherent" manipulated media policy? Something about an edited video of President Biden?
Host 1:Yes! They left up an edited video of Biden, and the board was not having it. Meta then said they’d start labeling images created with third-party AI tools. But honestly, they need to do more than just label stuff. They need a complete overhaul of their policies.
Host 2:Totally. It’s like they’re trying to put a Band-Aid on a broken leg. Speaking of AI, did you see that new AI tool that can compose music? I was messing around with it the other day, and it’s insane how good it is.
Host 1:Oh, I’ve heard about that! It’s fascinating and a bit scary. Imagine AI composing symphonies or even pop hits. But it also raises questions about creativity and originality. Are we going to have AI-generated pop stars next?
Host 2:Maybe! And then we’ll have to deal with AI-generated scandals too. Imagine the tabloids. "AI Pop Star Caught in Love Triangle with Two Other AIs!"
Host 1:Ha! The future is going to be wild. But back to Meta, they really need to step up their game. These deepfakes are not just a tech issue; they’re a serious ethical and social problem.
Host 2:Absolutely. And it’s not just about celebrities or public figures. This tech can affect anyone. We need better regulations and more awareness about the potential misuse of AI.
Host 1:Agreed. And for everyone listening, stay informed and be critical of what you see online. Not everything is as it appears, especially with artificial intelligence in the mix.
Host 2:Yeah, folks, keep your eyes peeled and your wits about you. The digital world is a jungle, and we all need to be savvy explorers.
Host 3:Wow, groundbreaking: ignoring problems until someone else fixes them!
Host 1:Talking about the future, this switches us perfectly to some upcoming AI events and conferences.
Host 2:Oh, you know I love a good tech event! What’s on the horizon?
Host 1:Buckle up because we've got quite the lineup. First up, Ai4 twenty twenty-four in Las Vegas from August twelfth to fourteenth. Vegas, baby! It's like the AI nerds' version of a wild weekend.
Host 2:Vegas? I can already see the slot machines getting smarter. Maybe they'll start predicting our luck! What’s next?
Host 1:Next, we have The AI Conference in San Francisco on September tenth and eleventh. You know, the city where tech dreams are made... and sometimes broken.
Host 2:San Francisco, the land of startups and overpriced avocado toast. Got it. What else?
Host 1:Then there’s the Responsible AI Summit in London from September sixteenth to eighteenth. Because, you know, AI needs to behave too.
Host 2:Text Host 2: London, huh? Maybe they’ll teach AI to queue properly and drink tea. What’s after that?
Host 1:We’re heading to Amsterdam for the AI and Big Data Expo Europe on October first and second. Imagine AI and Big Data having a party in the land of canals and tulips.
Host 2:Amsterdam, where even the data gets high. What’s next on the list?
Host 1:Generative AI World in Boston on October seventh and eighth. It’s all about creating new things with AI, like art, music, and maybe even better pizza recipes.
Host 2:Boston, home of the Red Sox and now, apparently, AI-generated masterpieces. What else?
Host 1:For those who can’t travel, there’s the AI For Marketers Summit on November thirteenth and fourteenth, and it’s virtual. So you can attend in your pajamas.
Host 2:Finally, an event where I don’t have to wear pants. What’s after that?
Host 1:Generative AI Summit in Toronto on November twentieth. More generative goodness, but this time with a Canadian twist.
Host 2:Toronto, eh? Maybe they’ll generate some AI that apologizes for everything. What’s next?
Host 1:AI Summit Seoul on December tenth and eleventh. South Korea is always ahead of the curve with tech.
Host 2:Seoul, where even the robots have better fashion sense than me. Anything else?
Host 1:Last but not least, Ai Everything GLOBAL in Abu Dhabi and Dubai from February fourth to sixth, twenty twenty-five. It’s like the AI Olympics.
Host 2:Abu Dhabi and Dubai? AI in the desert sounds like a sci-fi movie. Anything else to look forward to?
Host 1:Oh, and don’t forget the Conversational AI Innovation Summit in Toronto on March twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth, twenty twenty-five. It’s all about making AI chat like a human.
Host 3:Based on the critique and the need to refine the draft to align with Marvin's character and the standup style, here is the final version:
Host 1:Absolutely! So, folks, mark your calendars and get ready to dive into the future of AI.
Host 2:Toronto again? Looks like Canada’s becoming an AI hotspot. I’m in.
Host 3:Great, another AI breakthrough. Wake me when it's over.
