It was another big week in the world of AI and we were here building away, watching on in amazement and just generally having a lot of fun being in this exciting space!
We kick things off with Devin, which became the ironic threat to the industry that brought AI to the world (and so rightfully it seemed under threat itself). If you didn’t already know, Devin is the latest in autonomous AI agents and it had a great showcase video and story highlights such as this one from Bloomberg.
Here’s a video on it from Wes Roth to break it down.
And Ethan Mollick trying it out too (follow him on LinkedIn if you didn’t already).
Also, there’s some really interesting stuff here on how to rethink about systems when we have AI. In this case predefining how social media platforms work where it’s not about popularity but rather semantic connections. Warning, this is along video so you might need AI to help you.
It’s part of what we’re thinking about when it comes to how AI is used and why we’ve created the ideation section in SIKE. We see a revolution in how we bring AI into the way we organise and get insights out of data and whilst we’ll get great advantages from bringing AI into existing workflows, we’ll get a lot more out of building new workflows on top of AI itself.
Over in Europe the EU AI Act has passed making it official law and it means we actually have AI law now. Someone to follow who has all the latest and greatest in the news on regulation in this space is Ray Sun.
The Claude3 hype last week has many believing AGI is here. But is it just statistics? According to Yannic Kilcher, it is.
More on Sora from OpenAI here in an interview with CTO Murati but there was definitely a ball drop on the question of training data. How do you think she should have answered and was there ever going to be anything that would not be seen negatively?
Great tutorial on something you can try out at home if you feel like doing something as homebrew AI build here.
Also, it’s great to see that ASIC is hiring folks who will get to use the latest technology.
Speaking of hiring, we wonder if this is the future we’re heading towards as highlighted by Steve Nouri here.
