That's it really. I started keeping one when I first got access to GPT4 through bing last year. I wish I'd started sooner, but already I find myself blown away when I skim through it. It's also interesting to see how much slower everything was so long ago :P (By my journal page fill rate we're now getting about one 2023 worth of news every 2-3 months).

Even if you just have a folder to save memes and screenshots to I guarantee you'll be happy to have it to look back on in 5 years.

Google is working on artificial intelligence software that resembles the human ability to reason, similar to OpenAI’s o1, marking a new front in the rivalry between the tech giant and the fast-growing startup.

In recent months, multiple teams at Alphabet Inc.’s Google have been making progress on AI reasoning software, according to people with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be identified because the information is private.

AI researchers are pursuing reasoning models as they search for the next significant step forward in the technology. Like OpenAI, Google is trying to approximate human reasoning using a technique known as chain-of-thought prompting, according to two of the people. In this technique, which Google pioneered, the software pauses for a matter of seconds before responding to a written prompt while, behind the scenes and invisible to the user, it considers a number of related prompts and then summarizes what appears to be the best response.

Since OpenAI unveiled its o1 model, known internally as Strawberry, in mid-September, some in DeepMind have fretted that the company had fallen behind, according to another person with knowledge of the matter. But employees are no longer as concerned as they were following the launch of ChatGPT, now that Google has debuted some of its own work, the person said. In July, Google showcased AlphaProof, which specializes in math reasoning, and AlphaGeometry 2, an updated version of a model focused on geometry that the company debuted earlier this year.

Original Title: Harvard students Build and show off AR glasses project that uses face detection, internet sleuthing, and AI to give you near instant dossiers (address, family info, name, etc) on people you see. Good proof of concept to raise awareness on what we may see in the future

Every post I open has comments sorted by “new” instead of by “top”. I was wondering why posts here seemed so much less engaging recently, and I’m 100% sure this is the issue. Communities suffer as a result of comments being sorted by new. Please fix it.

Have you noticed that the average quality of comments on this subreddit has gone downhill recently? Have you noticed that inane anti-tech comments have begun to pop up on every post? Have you noticed that actual quality discussion is almost gone?

That's what happens when you auto-sort comments by New.

I have absolutely no idea why the subreddit's mods decided to do this, but it has had a terrible effect. The quality comments that would usually rise to prominence are being drowned out by a sea of inane bullshit and bot spam. No quality comments at the top of the comments section means no quality dialogue. No dialogue means no point in the comments section.

I've seen this happen in various other subreddits across the years, mods experimenting with auto-ordering comments by new, or even worse by controversial, and it always leads to the same thing.

There's been a stickied comment in the monthly discussion thread, saying that they aren't doing this automatically, and that you have to reset it manually, but that's straight up false. It always resets to sorting by new. You can test it out yourself.

Go to the subreddit, click on any top thread, change the comment sorting from new to best. Then navigate back to the subreddit, and click on that same thread. It will be sorted by new again. If you just refresh, it won't reset; you have to manually return to the subreddit and re-enter the thread.

Original Title: What potential use cases of AGI are you most excited about? To me, it's its potential to accelerate innovations across all domains by speeding up most steps of the scientific method especially where tons of data is involved (medicine, energy, etc.)

OpenAI's recent DevDay conference took a different approach from last year's event, focusing on incremental improvements rather than major product launches. The company introduced four key innovations: Vision Fine-Tuning, Realtime API, Model Distillation, and Prompt Caching, all aimed at empowering developers and enhancing the AI ecosystem.

Prompt Caching: This feature reduces costs and latency for developers by applying a 50% discount on input tokens that the model has recently processed, potentially leading to significant savings.

Vision Fine-Tuning: This allows developers to customize GPT-4o's visual understanding capabilities using both images and text, with applications in fields like autonomous vehicles and medical imaging. For example, Grab improved its mapping services using this technology.

Realtime API: Now in public beta, this API enables low-latency, multimodal experiences, particularly in speech-to-speech applications. It allows for natural conversation and mid-sentence interruptions, opening up possibilities for voice-enabled applications in various industries.

Model Distillation: This workflow allows developers to use outputs from advanced models to improve the performance of more efficient models, making sophisticated AI capabilities more accessible and cost-effective.

OpenAI's strategic shift towards ecosystem development over headline-grabbing product launches reflects a mature understanding of the AI industry's current challenges and opportunities. By focusing on refining tools and reducing costs, OpenAI aims to foster a thriving developer ecosystem and ensure sustainable AI adoption across various industries.
