On the news of this week, first we have Apple's investment in Siri AI. There has been a leak about Apple investing heavily in Siri using AI, spending millions of dollars daily. Siri is lagging behind assistants like Alexa, often not understanding users. Applying AI like GPT could make Siri more useful in daily life. Apple is also working on AI for vision and language. They want the AI to be very private running on phones rather than servers. This will have limitations due to phones' computational power. But progress is being made so more complex models can run on laptops without large servers. We'll see how Apple progresses and what it can achieve. Second news of the week, it's that Anthropic has launched Claude, a model like GPT4. For me, Claude is better than GPT4 in many ways. Claude has a context of 100,000 tokens, letting us do very powerful things. Claude 2 launched Cloud Pro, a paid version that gives five times more usage for $20 monthly. This does not offer new features beyond more messages and priority access when servers are busy. Anthropic says paid users will get early access to new features. Many reported Claude's country limitation, requiring a UK or US number for SMS confirmation. I registered before this requirement so I can still use Claude freely. For others, you may need a temporary number to register now. Claude is absolutely worth it for summarizing PDFs. In other news, GPT4 has two new plugins, CapCut and Canva. CapCut generates short videos using AI, finding stock images, and adding text. Quality needs improving, but it's an intriguing start to automated content creation. The Canva plugin generates designs in Canva based on your prompt. GPT sends instructions to Capture One or Canva, which create the content. The AI services lack sophistication, but are steadily improving. China's WeShop.ai lets you edit product images, changing the surroundings while maintaining the core product. Quality needs improving, but it's incredible to integrate products seamlessly into new contexts. This could revolutionize e-commerce photography. SparkToro analyzes chat GPT usage data, finding traffic declined in June and July as expected. Most sessions are one or five plus prompts. Surprisingly, the top use case is programming rather than marketing. Education is also popular. UNESCO issued guidelines on AI use in schools, suggesting no independent use for under 13s. The 48-page report covers risks like information bias and digital divides. I summarized it using Claude. Key recommendations. Government age limits. Restricted purposes. User competency development. And validating educational applications. Caution is advised regarding learning assessments and diagnoses. Elon Musk demonstrated Tesla's full self-driving capability in a 45-minute live stream. Tesla is not fully autonomous yet, but RoboTaxis have been operating in San Francisco since August. Musk's demonstration is a huge milestone, despite limitations. Autonomies arrival is inevitable. Andrew Ng argues AI risks are exaggerated in a great Stanford talk. He provides a positive viewpoint contrasting with others like Hinton and Bostrom. Ng sees huge benefits from AI and believes domination risks are unlikely. His startup advice is also interesting. That covers the latest essential AI news. Let me know if you need any clarification or have additional questions.
