@elonmusk @durov @grok WTF?

Я тут бываю нечасто и если и пишу что-то, то на английском. А вот тут я пишу чаще и на русском — канал свой перезапустил https://t.co/Q1sLUf0wOl

@PaddyG96 How about A tool that transforms single-camera footage into a three-camera setup with automated post-production?

What’s happening?

One of the most soothing accounts on 𝕏 I know.

In addition to the labyrinth, I got to do crosses and zeros and naval combat. And now I'm doing a complicated maze with traps and characters that can communicate )))

[Alex Amyot @Amyot]

Just had a blast playing a text-based maze game made inside ChatGPT! I made a concept of maze and navigation through a labyrinth, making choices to go forward, left, right or back.

[Alex Amyot @Amyot]

ChatGPT can be programmed through prompts and it works like a game console. In addition to text, it also outputs simple graphics in the form of tables! Just wow!

The first proper picture of Evan Gershkovich, the WSJ reporter arrested in Russia on absurd charges, in court ahead of his appeal against his jailing today.

So surreal to see Evan, who's covered so many Kafkaesque hearings as a reporter, in the cage

Europa will sich vom Verbrenner verabschieden. Aber in vielen Ländern ist von Verkehrswende kaum etwas zu spüren. Unser Datenanalyse bei @zeitonline zeigt, wie Deutschland im Vergleich dasteht.

The new BloombergGPT AI may be harbinger of the next wave of corporate AI. Current AIs are trained on web data (though firms can add their own training)

BloombergGPT is 52% either proprietary data or cleaned financial data. And it shows signs of being better at financial tasks.

🔥 Midjourney v5? 🔥

What new levels of detail does it reach?

I've been able to test its honey by accessing the system they're training it on!

I spent the night rating 1000 images. In this thread, I'm compiling the ones that impressed me the most.

*If* GPT-4 is multimodal, we can predict with reasonable confidence what GPT-4 *might* be capable of, given Microsoft’s prior work Kosmos-1:

- Visual IQ test: yes, the ones that humans take!
- OCR-free reading comprehension: input a screenshot, scanned document, street sign, or any pixels that contain text. Reason about the contents directly without explicit OCR. This is extremely useful to unlock AI-powered apps on multimedia web pages, or “text in the wild” from real world cams.
- Multimodal chat: have a conversation about a picture. You can even provide “follow-up” images in the middle.
- Broad visual understanding abilities, like captioning, visual question answering, object detection, scene layout, common sense reasoning, etc.
- Audio & speech recognition (??): wasn’t mentioned in Kosmos-1 paper, but Whisper is already an OpenAI API and should be fairly easy to integrate.

Note: the predictions are based on what Andreas Braun, Microsoft Germany CTO, allegedly said. They may or may not be accurate (that’s why I call it “prediction”). But Kosmos-1 is very real and rock solid. It offers a glimpse of either GPT-4 or whatever AI service that Microsoft will provide next. I find it difficult to believe Kosmos-1 will stay in the lab and not become a product.

In any case, prepare yourself for multimodal APIs - they’ll happen sooner or later!

1) I'm sorry. That's the biggest thing.

I fucked up, and should have done better.

It’s pretty simple: Google Meet (original) was previously Meet, which was the rebranded Hangouts Meet. Meet has been merged with Google Duo, which replaced Google Hangouts. Google Duo has been renamed Meet, and Meet has been temporarily named Google Meet (original), for clarity
