AI is the fastest moving field in recent history. Just this week…

1/ NVIDIA Releases open synthetic data generation pipeline for training LLMs.

NVIDIA's game-changing move: 

They've unleashed Nemotron-4 340B, a cutting-edge open synthetic data generation pipeline for training LLMs. Say goodbye to the age-old "Where will you get the data?" roadblock. Now, developers can conjure up synthetic data for AI applications across healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and retail. It's like having a genie in a bottle for data-hungry startups.

2/ OpenAI to go full for-profit?

Sam Altman is eyeing a major shakeup, potentially transforming OpenAI into a full-fledged for-profit entity free from board control.

After last year's boardroom drama, who can blame him? With rivals like xAI and Anthropic already in the for-profit arena, OpenAI might be gearing up to play hardball.

3/ China AI Sexbots?

ChatGPT-powered sex-bots are about to hit the streets in select Chinese cities. It's a brave new world where AI meets intimacy, for better or worse.

4/ Google DeepMind releases AI Video Research

While China dabbles in AI romance, Google's cooking up pure magic. Their V2A technology can whip up stunning AI-generated videos from mere text prompts and video pixel guidance. We're inching closer to a world where reality and AI-crafted experiences blur into one immersive playground.

5/ Ilya (OpenAI’s co-founder and former chief scientist)- has decided to start an AI company

Ilya's new venture: OpenAI's co-founder and former chief scientist is striking out on his own with SSI (Safe Super Intelligence). The mission? Craft an AI system that's both powerful and safe. Is this a subtle jab at his former company? Only time will tell.
