Hello AI bros 👊
The world of AI is wildin’ as always.
What a start to the week— we have juicy bits about some big bizarre partnerships, some cool “innovations” (ahem, ahem), and other things.
So, let’s get to it.
📰 Breaking News
Unholy Alliance Alert: OpenAI and Meta Cozying Up with Reliance
Because two data-gobbling giants weren't enough, they're now forming a digital Voltron with... well, another behemoth.
What's next? Amazon buying up all the world's oxygen?
Expect this partnership to result in AI that knows what you're thinking before you do and then relentlessly markets it to you across every platform you didn't even know you had.
Privacy? Never heard of her.
Deepfake Déjà Vu: Google Unleashes Real-Time AI Video Features
Just when you thought you could trust nothing you saw online, Google cranks the paranoia dial up to eleven.
Real-time AI video? Get ready for a world where reality is just a suggestion, and your grandma's birthday message might actually be a meticulously crafted digital doppelganger trying to sell you crypto.
There are fun times ahead for critical thinking skills (spoiler: they're doomed).
Apple Gets Slapped (Digitally) for AI Lateness
Oh, the irony is thicker than a Silicon Valley fog.
Apple, the paragon of polished perfection and carefully timed product launches, is getting sued for delaying its AI features.
Apparently, even the fruit-logo fanatics have their limits when it comes to vaporware. Maybe they should have just asked Siri for help. Oh wait...😅
Dating in the Digital Dumpster Fire: AI Now Profiling Your Potential Victims (Oops, Partners)
So, you thought awkward first dates were terrible? Now you can add "being psychologically analyzed by an algorithm your date secretly deployed" to the list of romantic pitfalls.
Newsflash: if your date is using AI to profile you, they're probably the kind of person who unironically uses the phrase "disruptive innovation."
Run. Fast.
🛠️ Tools & Platforms
Yavi™ to the Rescue! (Maybe. Probably Not.)
Nimbusnext is unleashing Yavi™, the "no-code AI platform" for small businesses.
Finally! Now, even the most technologically bewildered among us can harness the raw, untamed power of algorithms with just a few clicks!
What could possibly go wrong? I'm picturing a world where every mom-and-pop shop suddenly has a rogue AI chatbot arguing with customers about return policies or a recommendation engine suggesting everyone buy ten thousand rolls of toilet paper.
Meta: Suddenly Open-Source! (Don't Adjust Your Eyeballs)
Hold my phone! Meta—purveyor of everything meticulously tracked and algorithmically curated, is now a "leading open-source AI platform"?
It's like finding out your cat, who usually knocks everything off the table, has suddenly started organizing your spice rack.
Color me intrigued... and deeply suspicious. What's the angle here? Are they hoping we'll all contribute to the AI that will eventually serve us even more personalized ads? Only time (and their privacy policy updates) will tell!
🚨 AI Alerts
SK Telecom Invests in Together AI: Even Telecom Companies Want a Piece of the AI Pie!
South Korean telecom giant SK Telecom is investing in an AI platform developer called Together AI.
The lines between industries are blurring as everyone scrambles to get involved in the AI revolution.
Soon, your phone bill might be generated by an AI that also writes poetry about your data usage.
Generative AI and... Uh Oh. (The "Don't Go There" Files)
The U-M Institute for Data & AI in Society is looking into "Generative AI and Sexual Harms."
We all knew the internet was a breeding ground for the unsavory, and now we've given it the power to generate... well, let's say things that are less funny and more deeply disturbing.
Let's hope the grown-ups figure out some guardrails before things get truly sideways.
🏢Business & Industry
Consultants Consulting Consultants (with AI!)
The Big Four are all-in on AI agents to "transform consulting."
Think about it: highly paid humans are being replaced by slightly less expensive algorithms that probably generate the same vague, jargon-filled advice. It's the circle of corporate life, just with more processing power.
I can't wait for the first case study in which the AI consultant accidentally advises a company to liquidate all its assets and invest solely in Beanie Babies. They'll call this disruptive innovation.
Minecraft Says "Nah" to AI, Prefers Human Happiness
Bless their blocky little hearts!
The developers of Minecraft are actively rejecting generative AI, emphasizing the importance of human creativity. In a world where everyone's rushing to automate everything, it's almost rebellious.
Imagine that: a wildly successful game prioritizing the joy of human creation over the cold efficiency of an algorithm. It's enough to make you want to build a virtual monument to common sense.
Netflix Billionaire Funds AI Humanity Program (The Irony Isn't Lost on Us)
Reed Hastings, the man who brought us endless hours of screen time and the potential erosion of social interaction, is now donating $50 million to Bowdoin for an "A.I. Program." Specifically, the "Hastings Initiative for AI and Humanity."
The cognitive dissonance is strong with this one. It's like a sugar company funding diabetes research.
Still, maybe they'll figure out how to use AI to finally fix Netflix's recommendation algorithm. One can dream.
🤔Questionable Joke of the Day
Why did the AI break up with the chatbot?
Because it said, their relationship was too... superficial.
(Get it? Chatbots? Superficial? I'll see myself out... no, wait, I'm already here.)
🫠Generative AI Masterpiece
Prompt: A slice of bread wearing a tiny monocle and top hat is meticulously stands against a cup of tea, while a flock of pixelated pigeons are scattered all around.
