Five Things AI: Christopher Nolan, Emerging Architectures, Thinking, AI Apocalypse, AI Image Detection
Everybody is doing AI now. Read this to understand what's going on.
Will AI kill us all or will AI make us live longer? It’s interesting how we assign these superpowers to a chatbot that doesn’t get the facts right all the time, but makes it look very plausible. I remain optimistic that we will find ways to make good use of AI. Before this happens, we’ll probably explore lots of idiotic ideas that don’t work, as well as really cool ideas that don’t work, until we navigate the Gartner hype cycle to a point where we find the pleateau of productivity and actually come around with smart usecases that solve more problems than they create. We just don’t know how fast this will happen.
How Christopher Nolan Learned to Stop Worrying and Love AI
This is a really interesting interview with Christopher Nolan about the power of AI, how to use AI as a tool, how this is different from the atomic bomb and how all of this relates to his latest movie Oppenheimer. Also, I didn’t know he’s so much into science.
Emerging Architectures for LLM Applications
GenerativeAI is evolving quickly and there’s so much to explore right now. VC firm AndreessenHorowitz gives a nice overview of what to use for which usecase and how these app architectures relate to one another.
Generative AI Should Not Replace Thinking at My University
I think this is a fundamental misconception about GenerativeAI. It doesn’t replace thinking, it changes it. And it frees us from too many mundane tasks, which means we have more energy to focus on stuff that matters.
The AI Apocalypse: A Scorecard
It’s so hard to keep track which smart (or not so smart) pundit thinks we’re all going to die because of AI - and who thinks the world will be saved because of AI. This scorecard comes in very handy.
AI or not? new web tool detects artificial intelligence images in less than a second
So essentially we’ll have “real images” as a sign of quality soon, because everybody will turn to generated images for almost anything. AI will lead the way to more genuine creation, again.
