Why So Quiet?

While OpenAI is toiling away trying to create an ‘iPhone’ moment in AI with the launch of its large language model-based ChatGPT and its plugins, Apple – the OG pioneer of iPhone – is?curiously silent, making little or no noise whatsoever in LLMs and generative AI.

Nvidia’s?Huizi Mao?said that Apple should be another big-tech company to worry about LLMs, after Google. He said that though LLMs may not be the path to strong AI, it has been proven to be a very powerful human-computer interface. “A brand new OS/ecosystem could spawn on it, just like when the touchscreen was first presented on iPhone,” he added.?

Interestingly, the only time the company spoke about LLMs was when it published a paper ‘Extracting Training Data from Large Language Models, alongside OpenAI, Google, Stanford University, UC Berkeley, Harvard University, and Northeastern University.?

Another instance was the release of ‘Transformers architecture for Apple Silicon’, hinting that it might develop an LLM-based chatbot. Again, it gets a little suspicious given that Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, has also signed the petition, alongside Gary Marcus, Yoshua Bengio, Elon Musk, and a thousand others to pause the training of models beyond GPT-4.?

Looks like a stop-gap mechanism for the big tech to catch up with?OpenAI. Who knows? Apple might announce a slew of generative AI tools and capabilities at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2023, which has been scheduled from June 5 to June 9, 2023.?

Wake Up Call for AI Regulators?

Crypto exchanges and blockchain networks are finally facing the music as the SEC files a flurry of fraud and securities violation cases. The regulation has finally tamed the once lawless 'Wild West' of crypto-land, creating ripples across the market. Now, as AI continues its record-breaking run, calls for regulation have already begun, with a recent petition seeking to halt AI training beyond GPT-4. Will AI be the next to face the music??Read to find out.?

OpenAI Eyes Robotics?

OpenAI recently invested in a Norway-based robotics startup?1x, previously known as Halodi Robotics, the company builds humanoid robots capable of human-like movements and behaviours – and its robots are much better looking than?Tesla’s Optimus and Bumble C.

Interestingly, OpenAI had an in-house robotic division, but in 2021, the company scrapped it completely and decided to direct its resources towards AI research and development. Now, with its investments in 1x, will OpenAI switch its focus to robotics??Read to find out more.

Tech Leaders in Style?

When we think of tech leaders like Jensen Huang, Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jack Dorsey, we often focus on their groundbreaking innovations and industry-shaping ideas. However, there is one unexpected commonality among these powerful figures that is not related to their technological prowess: their fashion sense, or perhaps lack thereof.?

From Zuckerberg's trademark hoodie to Huang's ‘biker’ leather jackets, it seems that some of the most influential people in tech have a unique style that sets them apart. So, what are you waiting for? Check out the latest fashion in tech?here.
