    o3 breaks (some) records, but AI becomes pay-to-win

    A green card, o3 vs Gemini 2.5, 6 Benchmarks and a whole bunch of my thoughts on what on earth is happening in AI, from here to 2030. Plus, how AI is becoming pay-to-win, and why.

    How Well Can GPT-4 See? And the 5 Upgrades That Are Next

    What exactly can GPT-4 see? And does OpenAI have a plan for physical embodiment? Over 12 separate developments announced in the last few days are covered in this video, in which I showcase how improvements in text, speech, 3D, and embodiment are beginning to complement each other.We'll take an early look at use cases for images in GPT 4, how Nvidia and Adobe are pushing boundaries in Text to 3D, at Sam Altman's Moore's Law For Everything, at the new LeRF model and Assembly AI's latest Speech-to-Text. We will also see how OpenAI already had a Robotics team but now is invested in 1x, developing humanoid robots.

At the same time Deepseek R1 releases some numbers, and Sam Altman says he might have been wrong before, and now anticipates a 'fast take-off'. Plus two papers to give you an idea of what a super-agent might be decent at doing, some more exclusive article analysis and much more.

    'Sparks of AGI' - Bombshell GPT-4 Paper: Fully Read w/ 15 Revelations

    Less than 24 hours ago a paper was released that will echo around the world. I read all 154 pages in one sitting. The paper suggests GPT 4 has ‘sparks of Artificial General Intelligence’. This is not just hype, I go through 15 examples detailing just what exactly the unrestrained GPT 4 is capable of.Insane highlights include the monumental ability to use tools effectively – this is an emergent capability not found in ChatGPT. I detail the kind of tools it has already demonstrated it can use, from using external APIs to being a true personal assistant, from a Fermi answerer to a Mathlete and a handyman. This paper may well change your thoughts on the state of AGI.That is just touching on the multitude of implications of this bombshell paper, which was originally titled 'First Contact'...Sparks of AGI Paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.12712.pdf3D Game: https://twitter.com/ammaar/status/1637592014446551040Augmented Memory: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2301.04589.pdfAdept AI Photoshop: https://www.adept.ai/blog/introducing-adepthttps://www.patreon.com/AIExplained Non-Hype, Free Newsletter: https://signaltonoise.beehiiv.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

    What's Up With Bard? 9 Examples + 6 Reasons Google Fell Behind [ft. Muse, Med-PaLM 2 and more]

    A definitive comparison between Bard and GPT-4 - and it doesn’t look good for Bard. I demonstrate, with nine different examples, that Bard has a serious problem. From coding to content creation, summarisation to self-tutoring, I cover all the deficiencies that will stop Bard being currently useful. I then go into 6 explanations for why Google might have fallen behind. From Attention authors leaving the ship, not defining their product, safety and Anthropic, better models and Med-PaLM, I explore all the reasons why Bard isn’t up to scratch.
