OpenAI is Gonna Make Their Own Chips

OpenAI is reportedly in talks with Broadcom to develop a new AI chip, signaling a potential shift away from reliance on Nvidia’s GPUs. The move is part of OpenAI’s strategy to secure more control over its hardware infrastructure and mitigate supply chain risks. The partnership with Broadcom, a leading semiconductor company, could help OpenAI in tailoring chips specifically for their advanced AI models, enhancing performance and efficiency. This development reflects a growing trend among tech companies to develop proprietary chips to optimize their AI capabilities, potentially reshaping the semiconductor industry landscape.

It’s Official: AI and Robotics to Reshape Industries

Coatue’s July 2024 report on general-purpose robots outlines the past, present, and future of robotics. It highlights the slow yet steady adoption of specialized robots and the critical role of AI, particularly spatial AI models, in advancing robot capabilities. The report highlights important problems like data shortage and high costs, but it predicts a new future that will change because hardware prices are going down and AI systems are working well. For investors, the takeaway is clear: robotics is poised for a major leap, presenting lucrative opportunities akin to past tech revolutions like mobile internet and AI.

Salesforce to Revolutionize Chatbot Experiences

 
Salesforce has introduced Einstein Service Agent, an autonomous AI agent designed to transform chatbot experiences by understanding and autonomously addressing a broad range of service issues without preprogrammed scenarios. Built on the Einstein 1 Platform, it uses large language models and generative AI to analyze customer messages and provide tailored responses, operating 24/7 across various channels. Currently in pilot, the service will be generally available later this year, aiming to improve customer satisfaction and service efficiency by offloading routine inquiries and allowing human agents to focus on more complex tasks.

AI Trained on YouTube Videos Without Permission

 
Apple, Nvidia, and Anthropic reportedly used thousands of YouTube videos to train their AI models without permission from creators. Subtitles from over 173,000 videos were used, including content from major educational channels and popular YouTubers like MrBeast and PewDiePie. Creators expressed concerns over unauthorized use and potential impacts on their livelihoods. This controversy highlights the growing tension between AI development and intellectual property rights, as companies leverage vast datasets to gain competitive advantages in AI training​

Tinder Will Pick Your Photos For You

 
Tinder has launched “Photo Selector,” an AI-powered feature to help users choose their best profile pictures. This tool aims to reduce the 33 minutes users spend on average selecting photos by curating options directly from their camera rolls. With the majority of singles finding photo selection challenging, this feature is designed to streamline the process, allowing users to focus on forming connections. This move reinforces Tinder’s commitment to enhancing user experience through innovative AI applications. In the dating app industry, seamless user experiences can significantly boost engagement and retention rates.

The images accompanying the news items in this article were generated in Midjourney using the following prompts:

>

A detailed, image in a semi-realistic style: A scene from a robot repair workshop. The focus is on the hands of two robots – a more industrial “mechanic” robot carefully inserting a chip into a designated slot on a sleeker “patient” robot with a specialized tool (precision screwdriver or manipulator arm). The patient robot shows signs of needing repair (missing panel, malfunctioning light). The background is blurred, hinting at the workshop environment.

>

A detailed image in a steampunk style: A large whiteboard fills the center of the frame, covered in a visually engaging 10-year roadmap. Different colored timelines, markers, and sticky notes with handwritten text or diagrams create a visually engaging roadmap. Colorful wires connect different sections of the roadmap. In the foreground, a professional-looking steampunk robot stands next to the whiteboard. The robot points towards a specific section of the roadmap with either a finger or a marker held in its hand (depending on design). The robot’s posture and expression convey focus and explanation.

Generate a detailed, portrait-style image in a retro style: A humanoid robot with wild, white hair and a thoughtful expression fills the frame. The robot’s design resembles Albert Einstein, with wrinkles or markings suggesting age and wisdom. The robot is dressed in a vintage-style outfit inspired by Einstein, possibly including a tweed suit and a button-down shirt with the collar unbuttoned. The overall style is reminiscent of the 1940s or 1950s, with a faded or grainy texture and warm color tones.

A dimly lit room with exposed brick walls and wooden floorboards. In the foreground, a large, vintage reel-to-reel tape recorder (or a bulky computer terminal) with glowing lights sits on a wooden table. A worn-out cassette tape (or floppy disk) labelled “YouTube Re-record” rests beside it. In the background, a classic CRT television displays a pixelated YouTube video with a loading bar.

Wes Anderson-inspired whimsical realism of a young woman using Tinder’s new AI feature. A meticulously decorated vintage room with pastel colors. Symmetrical front view, medium close-up, the woman smile and excitedly looking at her phone while Tinder’s AI curates her photos, a quirky pet parrot watching from a vintage birdcage. Warm, soft lighting with pastel tones. Old-fashioned camera and typewriter on a desk, a wall clock showing an unusual time
