This is the first demo where you can really sense that beating LLM benchmarks should not be the target. Just remember the time when the iPhone has meager specs but ultimately delivered a better phone experience than the competition. This is the power of the model where you can own the whole stack and build a product. Open Source will focus on LLM benchmarks since that is the only way foundational models can different…

OpenAI blew up when they released ChatGPT. It was more of a UX breakthrough than pure tech, since GPT3 was available for a few months already.

This feels similar, with OpenAI trying to put their product even more into the daily lives of their users. With GPT4 being good enough for nearly all basic tasks, the natural language and multimodality could be big.

this is straight up siri 2.0, nothing to see here except we are now in the reasoning phase.

So by that logic Step1: Language 2: Reasoning 3: Understanding 4: Meaning 5: AGI

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…

This is still gpt4. I don’t expect much more from this version than what previous version could do, in terms of reasoning abilities. But everyone is expecting them to release gpt5 later this year, and it is a bit scary to think what it will be able to do.

It's a completely new model trained from scratch that they've decided to label that way as part of their marketing strategy.

That woman's voice intonation is just scary .Not because it talks really well, but because it is always happy, optimistic, enthusiastic. And this echoes to what several of my employers idealized as a good employee. That's terrifying because those AI become what their master's think an engaging human should be. It's quite close to Bostondynamics di some years ago. what did they show ? You can hit a robot very hard whi…

To be honest, this comment makes me think it would be interesting to have a grumpy version of AI just for fun

In the video where the 2 AI's sing together, it starts to get really cringey and weird to the point where it literally sounds like it's being faked by 2 voice actors off-screen with literal guns to their heads trying not to cry, did anyone else get that impression? The tonal talking was impressive, but man that part was like, is someone being tortured or forced against their will?

Absolutely. It felt like some kind of new uncanny valley. The over the top happiness of the forced singing sounded like torture, or like they were about to cry.

Amazing tech, but that was my human experience of it.

The first thought that came to my head was that it's being "way too American". Not in a good way.

OAI just made an embarrassment of Google's fake demo earlier this year. Given how this was recorded, I am pretty certain it's authentic.

Is there a reason why Open AI and Google have events so close to each other?

I can see so many military and intelligence applications for this! Excited isn't exactly the word I'd use, but... Certainly interesting! The civilian use will of course be marvellous though.

it does make me uncomfortable that the way you typically interact with it is by interrupting it. It makes me want to tell it to be more concise so that I wouldn't have to do that.

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 ta…

This makes me think, we're seeing all these products inject AI and try to be "smart" on their own, but maybe the experience we really need is a smart OS that can easily orchestrate dumb products.

I know that Siri/Google Assistant/Cortana(?) can already integrate with 3p apps, so maybe something like this but much smarter. e.g. instead of "send the following email" you would tell the assistant "just write the email yourself". At this point your email app doesn't need integrated AI anymore. Just hooks for the assistant.

I imagine once Google puts that kind of brains on Android and Chrome, many product devs will no longer need to use AI directly. Two birds one stone situation, since these devs won't need OpenAI.
