This is a very cool demo - if you dig deeper there’s a clip of them having a “blind” AI talk to another AI with live camera input to ask it to explain what it’s seeing. Then they, together, sing a song about what they’re looking at, alternating each line, and rhyming with one another . Given all of the isolated capabilities of AI, this isn’t particularly surprising, but seeing it all work together in real time is pre…

Why so much positivity? It can also murder people, and it will continue being used for that. That's scary.

Probably it will be used for many things. Just like computers, electricity, iron

Now that I see this, here is my wish (I know there are security privacy concerns but let's pretend there are not there for this wish): An app that runs on my desktop and has access to my screen(s) when I work. At any time I can ask it something about what's on the screen, it can jump in and let me know if it thinks I made a mistake (think pair programming) or a suggestion (drafting a document). It can also quickly take over if I ask it too (copilot on demand).

Except for the last point and the desktop version I think it's already done in math demo video.

I guess it will also pretty soon refuse to let me come back inside the spaceship, but until then it'll be a nice ride.

Ohhhhhhhh, boy... Listening to all that emotional vocal inflection and feedback... There are going to be at least 10 million lonely guys with new AI girlfriends. "She's not real. But, she interested in everything I say and excited about everything I care about" is enough of a sales pitch for a lot of people.

Girlfriend by subscription

New flagship... This is becoming to look like a smartphone world, and Sam Altman is a Steve Jobs of this stuff. At some point tech will reach saturation and every next model will be just 10% faster, 2% less hallucination, more megapixels for images etc :)

Very interesting and extremely impressive! I tried using the voice chat in their app previously and was disappointed. The big UX problem was that it didn't try to understand when I had finished speaking. English is a second language and I paused a bit too long thinking of a word and it just started responding to my obviously half spoken sentence. Trying again it just became stressful as I had to rush my words out to…

> I noticed that the AI in the demo seems to be very rambly That's been a major issue for me with LLMs this whole time. They can't just give me an answer, they have to spout a whole preamble that usually includes spitting my query back at me and trying to impress me with how many words it's saying, like it's a requirement. You can tell it e.g. "don't give me anything other than the list" but it's annoying to have to…

I’m kind of glad it does this so I know that it understood what I asked. A good presenter will do this as well when responding to questions.

This basically already exists and the companies that sell this are constantly improving it. For better or worse.

Agreed. I’m excited about reaching a point where the experience is of being in a deep work ‘flow’ with an ultra intelligent colleague, instead of jumping out of context to instant message them.
