Bodacious AI Stuff You Should Maybe Look At

• Opera - This new browser seems to have all the bells and whistles and provides better integration for AI model usage in webpages. Or that’s what their site says at least (really cool site btw).

•  Spellpage - Imagine if your TODO list actually did itself 🤯. This would be straight out of Harry Potter even if they get a relatively basic version of it working.

NVIDIA Topping the Charts… All the Charts 📈 

Earlier this week, Nvidia reported record earnings, leading to a 25% increase in its stock value and adding a jaw dropping $220 billion in value after a single day of after-hours trading. The company anticipates sales to reach $11 billion in the next three months, which is 50% higher than projected.

As if that weren’t impressive enough, Nvidia's market cap briefly surpassed the $1 trillion threshold, making it the seventh trillion-dollar company to ever grace the markets. Alongside Google and Microsoft, Nvidia has contributed to lifting the S&P 500 by almost 10% this year. For those interested in getting in on the investing action, Roundhill Investments has launched an ETF, ticker CHAT, that includes all of AI's major players. Once I have the funds, I'll definitely be investing in that.

But why stop there? Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, kicked off COMPUTEX Taipei, Asia's largest computer tech trade show, with some impressive announcements:

• GeForce RTX 4080 Ti GPU for gamers (a high-end graphics card)

• Nvidia Avatar Cloud Engine for Games (make AI NPCs that are lifelike)

• The success of the Nvidia Cuda computing model (powerful graphics cards that speed up important AI algorithms)

• production of the HGX H100 GPU server (a high-performance computer for AI)

• Nvidia's partnership with SoftBank for its distributed data centers in Japan (giving them access to super chips for their AI)

• Nvidia's partnership with WPP, the world's largest advertising agency (taking a card out of Meta’s playbook and bringing AI to ad creatives)

Basically Nvidia is like the chips to AI’s salsa (get it, chips).

Tiktok Tako Time 💔

Besides making this headline an alliteration, Tako is actually a chatbot TikTok recently integrated with their platform to help users find the content they want.

You ask it some questions and it recommends some content that might interest you. It’s a 3rd party chatbot, meaning it’s running on top of an LLM, but TikTok hasn’t disclosed which one. If someone wants to figure out which one it is, I’m sure there’s got to be a good model for classifying LLM output somewhere on the interwebs.

Tiktok is the latest in a string of major companies incorporating external-facing AI features into their product. We’ve seen other social media and e-learning platforms integrate chatbots, like Snapchat, Duolingo, and Discord.

It will be interesting to see how chatbots on these platforms perform and evolve. Will they become major features or accessories?

ChatGPT New Feature Alert ❗️

ChatGPT now enables you to share your chats with other users in a feature they are calling “Share Links“. This simplifies the process of prompt sharing drastically. Now, if I want to show someone a prompt I’ve been using I can simply send them a link and they can check it out and even continue the conversation.

I could see a couple services and businesses being built around this feature. For example, imagine a service that analyzes all of your chats and prompts and recommends improvements you could make for better outcomes. Or I could see prompt engineering experts seeding ChatGPT with well-crafted prompts and then selling these links out, just like people have been doing with raw prompts.

Rebuilding A Spinal Cord With AI 😳

Swiss researchers from SCI therapy startup Onward Medical have made a significant breakthrough in the treatment of spinal cord injuries (SCIs). They have successfully improved the walking gait of a formerly paraplegic man using a wireless brain-computer interface (BCI) and a novel "digital bridge" that bypasses the damaged part of the spine.

And as you might have guessed, that “digital bridge“ is heavily reliant on AI. Essentially, the researchers captured the man’s thoughts and, using an AI “thought decoder,” sent low-voltage jolts to contract muscles in the lower back. With this stimulation, the patient has recovered mobility and can now walk around with a wheeler.

It’s predicted these kinds of solutions could be on the market by end of decade for all manner of disabilities.

So I guess AI can literally read your mind now. But that shouldn’t come as a surprise as a couple weeks back, another group of researchers recreated images that people were looking at, just from looking at their brain scans. Crazy world we live in, eh?

Microsoft Teams Lookin Like Microsoft Dreams

Microsoft has released an AI meeting aid called "Intelligent Recap" for Teams Premium users. This tool aims to make meetings more efficient by automatically generating meeting notes, recommended tasks, personalized highlights, action items, and timestamps.

The goal is to reduce the need for employees to attend every meeting and to allow them to focus more on the conversation rather than note-taking during the meetings they do attend. Future plans include AI-generated meeting chapters and topics that allow users to skip to the most relevant sections.

While this doesn’t totally disrupt the market for automated conversation note-taking tools, like Otter ai, it’s a reminder that the big platforms will be adding in these smart features, cutting out more and more of these smaller service providers that have been popping up because of the accessibility of AI models.

Looking forward to the next AI power-up that Microsoft Teams cooks up.
