In the News
🚨 A he said/he said situation
Days after Elon Musk filed suit against OpenAI, claiming that he thought he was, in effect, funding a non-profit many years ago but has no stake in what is now OpenAI’s very for-profit business, OpenAI has fired back. In what could be described as “Perez Hilton for nerds,” they posted emails to and from Musk, discussing how best to position OpenAI for success. Musk, unsurprisingly, suggested folding it into Tesla at one point. We’ll be keeping an eye on how this plays out in court.
📰 Bonjour, je m’appelle Claude 3
OpenAI may have other cause for concern, this time relating to their flagship product. The company’s GPT-4 has consistently outperformed all other large language models (LLMs)…until last week. Anthropic’s Monday release of their latest model, Claude 3, opened some eyes at is surpassed GPT-4 on a number of benchmarks. The new model is faster than Claude 2, the previous model, and also supports a number of file upload types. If you have a long document that you’d like summarized, you can try it for free here.
💕 Programming languages, the new languages of love?
The founder and CEO of a new dating app started his business because he found existing apps had a major flaw. They were “missing real connection and chemistry between people.” And how is addressing this? By having his users’ AI avatars go out on virtual first dates. No, I’m not kidding. The next step? Having the AI avatars “Netflix and chill.”
