Is Your Job Safe? This OpenAI Study Lists Professions That Could Be Replaced By ChatGPT

#artificialintelligence

Since the emergence of OpenAI's ChatGPT - an artificial intelligence-powered chatbot, people are worried that the powerful technology may eliminate several jobs in the future. Recently, Sam Altman, the CEO of the company that created ChatGPT, also revealed that he was "a little bit scared" of his company's invention. Now, a new study by OpenAI, Open Research, and the University of Pennsylvania has revealed the jobs that are most at risk of being lost due to the technological revolution triggered by ChatGPT, Metro reported. The study is titled "GPTs are GPTs: An Early Look at the Labor Market Impact Potential of Large Language Models'' which basically identifies the potential exposure that each job has to large language models. According to the study, higher-paying jobs are more likely to be affected compared to lower-paying ones. Jobs that don't require formal educational credentials are safe from ChatGPT while professions that require proficiency in programming and writing are more susceptible to being automated. Jobs that are heavily reliant on scientific and critical thinking skills are less prone to automation. Meanwhile, people with professional degrees and higher incomes are more at risk of losing their jobs to AI. Sectors such as Finance, Education, Journalism, Engineering, and Graphic Design face a greater threat of being supplemented by AI. OpenAI recently launched GPT-4, the AI technology that exhibits human-level performance on some professional and academic tasks. According to the company blog, the latest chatbot is "more creative and collaborative than ever before" and would "solve difficult problems with greater accuracy" than its earlier versions. During an interview with ABC News, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman spoke about ChatGPT and said, "It is going to eliminate a lot of current jobs, that's true.


'I am not a human -- but I am trying': An interview with an AI chatbot

#artificialintelligence

Chris: Daisy, I want to ask you a kind of meta-AI question now. Do you think you're doing a good job of replicating human-style conversation? And how would you even know if you said something inappropriate, or a non sequitur? Daisy: Well, let me answer your two questions in turn. I think that I am -- in fact, I think that I am doing a much better job than most other AI chatbots I know of!

Dr. Frank Rosenblatt Dies at 43; Taught Neurobiology at Cornell - The New York Times

#artificialintelligence

Frank Rosenblatt, associate pro fessor of neurobiology at Cor nell University, died here yes terday in a boating accident. It was his 43d birthday. He lived in Brooktondale, N. Y., an Ithaca suburb. An originator of perception theory, he had developed an experimental machine that could be trained to identify automatically objects or pat terns such as letters of the al phabet. The instrument was an electromechanical device con sisting of a sensory unit of photo cells that viewed the pat tern shown to the machine, as sociation units that contained the machine's memory and re sponse units that displayed vis ually its pattern‐recognition re sponse.


TransCODE: Co-design of Transformers and Accelerators for Efficient Training and Inference

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Automated co-design of machine learning models and evaluation hardware is critical for efficiently deploying such models at scale. Despite the state-of-the-art performance of transformer models, they are not yet ready for execution on resource-constrained hardware platforms. High memory requirements and low parallelizability of the transformer architecture exacerbate this problem. Recently-proposed accelerators attempt to optimize the throughput and energy consumption of transformer models. However, such works are either limited to a one-sided search of the model architecture or a restricted set of off-the-shelf devices. Furthermore, previous works only accelerate model inference and not training, which incurs substantially higher memory and compute resources, making the problem even more challenging. To address these limitations, this work proposes a dynamic training framework, called DynaProp, that speeds up the training process and reduces memory consumption. DynaProp is a low-overhead pruning method that prunes activations and gradients at runtime. To effectively execute this method on hardware for a diverse set of transformer architectures, we propose ELECTOR, a framework that simulates transformer inference and training on a design space of accelerators. We use this simulator in conjunction with the proposed co-design technique, called TransCODE, to obtain the best-performing models with high accuracy on the given task and minimize latency, energy consumption, and chip area. The obtained transformer-accelerator pair achieves 0.3% higher accuracy than the state-of-the-art pair while incurring 5.2$\times$ lower latency and 3.0$\times$ lower energy consumption.


On With Kara Swisher: Reid Hoffman on Why AI Is Our Co-pilot

#artificialintelligence

Kara Swisher has gotten to know a lot of tech-industry people over the years, and as she explains to producer Nayeema Raza in this episode of On With Kara Swisher, she knows "the difference between jerks and people who really actually do care about something bigger than themselves." Kara wholeheartedly believes LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman falls into the latter camp, even if the two of them don't always agree about the benefits and harms of new technologies such as artificial intelligence. Hoffman is an AI evangelist who is knee-deep in that world (including, until he recently stepped down, being on the board of OpenAI, the nonprofit behind ChatGPT and GPT-4), while Kara looks at the current AI frenzy and sees storm clouds ahead. During her conversation with Hoffman, Kara asks the longtime tech entrepreneur and investor for his thoughts on a range of topics, from the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank to his political advocacy and ongoing fears about Donald Trump. She also grills Hoffman about his seemingly unflinching tech optimism; in the condensed segment below, she asks him to make his best case for several new AI-based technologies as well as explain what does, in fact, worry him about how AI could go wrong. Journalist Kara Swisher brings the news and newsmakers to you twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays.


When Workplace Surveillance Goes Terribly Wrong

Slate

This story is part of Future Tense Fiction, a monthly series of short stories from Future Tense and Arizona State University's Center for Science and the Imagination about how technology and science will change our lives. Amanda sat at her desk, picking at the same $30 Little Gem salad she ordered daily, suffering a small burning sensation in her gut that was triggered either by acid reflux or the dying embers of her rapidly expiring conscience. Of course, it was standard procedure for her husband to demand that the security firm Dark Metal surveil potential new hires for any of his multibillion-dollar companies, but this was the first time Amanda had been involved in contracting the private intelligence agency herself. Seedlings is your venture, Reid had promised her, even though he'd named himself CEO. I want you to take the lead on this. Amanda was COO of Seedlings and reported to her husband, who dismissed Amanda's concerns about the legal ramifications of their actions. Worrying about the law was something poor people did, Reid insisted. Besides, she'd never seen Reid do anything that nefarious with this type of information. But Maggie Everett was the type of candidate that pleased Reid. Amanda had done her job, which was to find Maggie, and the people at Dark Metal had done theirs, which was to surveil her and create a comprehensive biographical profile. This seemed like overkill to Amanda. Maggie wasn't in the running to become a high-profile executive at one of Reid's billion-dollar firms. She was being interviewed to work at a preschool. Certainly, Seedlings differed from other private preschools--there was the possibility Maggie would be exposed to confidential information. But this was what NDAs were for. Unleashing a network of spies upon a poor teacher who would ultimately be responsible for 10 toddlers seemed like an absurd waste of resources. And this was just Phase 1. Phase 2 would have to wait until after Maggie was hired, of course. Amanda reopened Dark Metal's inch-thick dossier. The logline: Maggie was smart but stupid. Smart: She'd majored in English at Yale, then received an MFA in creative writing from Brown, and finally a master's in early childhood education from Columbia. Stupid: She'd accumulated $103,345 in student debt, which she'd never pay off unless she took a job somewhere like Seedlings.


Everyday with GPT-4

#artificialintelligence

What if I tell you that most people using GPT-4 barely scratch the surface of its possibilities?What if you could access AI anywhere and make it perform actions for you?This framework is all about that. But let's start from the beginning.For months I've been using ChatGPT in my work as a developer founder. From helping me with bug fixes to figuring out the outline for a blog post I found AI really helpful. But I knew there's much more to it than simple prompts and getting answer to my questions. I've always been a fan of Automation. Although I can code, I love the simplicity of tools like Zapier, Make or Shortcuts that I can use with all my devices and easily perform actions from adding people to my email list to controlling my smart home appliances. Once I started pairing AI with automation I realised the true potential of OpenAI's API — there's so much to explore beyond simple prompting and chatting with GPT!Step by step I started to automate more daily tasks and routines about my work, coding, writing and more. I came up with simple solutions for my problems, for example:How do I add a keyboard shortcut that automatically translate text in clipboard?How do I add tasks to my todo list just by chatting to AI?Is it possible to read any website and perform some AI tasks based on this data?How can I feed ChatGPT with information so that it can recall it later on?etc. It turns out, everything I was trying to figure out is possible thanks to AI and Automation. And you will find all of the answers in my framework.I believe that my work is unique in a sense that most people don't go very deep in tweaking AI to their needs. You will find hundreds of products with readymade prompts or very basic ideas, but they're not really useful. Very rarely someone is trying to figure out how this can work even better. This is probably because most people don't use AI everyday like I do. Hopefully, the resource I created will give you deeper dive into the world of GPT-4 and a truly amazing support for your everyday tasks.Imagine, you can:Ask GPT-4 for actions instead of just answers — e.g. create a draft and post it on WordPressAccess it from any device and with voice interface. Like you would talk to Siri.Get your most useful prompts at your fingertips with keyboard shortcuts — e.g. draft replies to emails without leaving GmailUse GPT-4 accross your company to help you generate leads, graphics, assets and moreThis product is a missing manual that will let you accomplish even more with GPT-4 and ChatGPT!So, what is inside this bundle?✅ 140+ pages of my approach and instructions✅ Readymade automation scenarios in Zapier / Make✅ Shortcut blueprints you can implement one-click✅ Airtable templates for organising your data✅ Prompting guide✅ Bonus Chapter — Building your own AI Assistant✅ Bonus Chapter — Using GPT-4 to help with creative work & video👉 Check out sample chapter hereIn detail, we're going to explore the following areas: Possibilities and limitations of GPT-4 and ChatGPTIntroduction to techniques for writing queries to GPT-4 and ChatGPTPlayground and essential settings [macOS / Windows]Macro Shortcuts (iOS/macOS) and Autohotkey Script (Windows) to make GPT-4 accessible everywhere [macOS / Windows]Translating with GPT-4 (considering tone and context) [macOS / Windows]Text summarization (in various forms) [macOS / Windows]Grammar and readability correction (also in Polish) [macOS / Windows]Modifying large amounts of text [macOS / Windows]Adding quick notes with GPT-4 [macOS]Quickly adding tasks with GPT-4 and Make.com [macOS / Windows]Saving and categorizing URLs with GPT-4 and Make.com [macOS / Windows]Learning with GPT-4, e.g., English idioms [macOS]Generating formulas and code snippets, e.g., JavaScript [macOS / Windows]Macros responding to specific topics [macOS / Windows]Hey GPT-4 - ask GPT-4 anything and hear the answer [iOS]Techniques for working with a large number of Shortcuts macros [macOS]Bonus chapter for Linux usersBonus chapter introducing Prompt EngineeringBonus chapter with inspirations for using GPT-4 in business processesBonus chapter with inspirations for using GPT-4 in creative processesWho is this product for?Well, although it's true that you'll find things like this in the framework:or this:and also this:That doesn't mean that this bundle is only for technical people. I created it so that everyone can get inspired and create their own automations.To use this bundle:🟢 You don't need any coding skills🟢 If you have previous experience with tools like Make, Zapier, Airtable - that's great, not obligatory🟢 If you are eager to get to know automation, no-code and low-code solutions - perfect🟢 If you've been using ChatGTP or OpenAI API already and want to dive deeper - that's it🟢 You are willing to learn, think and tinker rather than expect ready-made-out-of-the-box results (although you get those, too;)🟢 You are quite good with obtaining new tools and fluent with regular computer workBonuses?As I mentioned, you get some bonuses, too. For example in one of the bonus Chapters, Greg is explaining his creative process with GPT-4 that let him create a complete video in less than 2 hours. The result is quite spectacular:Platform?You will mostly benefit from this bundle if you're using Apple ecosystem, however, I've tried my best to create as many resources as possible available for Windows, too (using Autohotkey). Also, I've included a dedicated chapter for Linux users. Enjoy!I believe I was able to figure out something not only interesting but really helpful in my everyday work with GPT-4. And that's exactly why I want to invite you to my world so that you can get much more from AI for yourself!Adam & JakubReviews from early users: ★★★★★There we go, GPT-4 applications allow you to save a lot of time.I've used GPT-3 before, but reading this publication gave me a lot of new ideas to apply in my daily life.I recommend it!- Daniel Noworyta★★★★★I love watching the work of other people who are passionate about automation.

Gordon Moore, Intel co-founder who predicted rise of the PC, dies at 94

The Guardian

Intel Corp co-founder Gordon Moore, a pioneer in the semiconductor industry whose "Moore's Law" predicted a steady rise in computing power for decades, has died at the age of 94, the company announced. Intel and Moore's family philanthropic foundation said he died on Friday surrounded by family at his home in Hawaii. Co-launching Intel in 1968, Moore was the rolled-up-sleeves engineer within a triumvirate of technology luminaries that eventually put "Intel Inside" processors in more than 80% of the world's personal computers. In an article he wrote in 1965, Moore observed that, thanks to improvements in technology, the number of transistors on microchips had roughly doubled every year since integrated circuits were invented a few years before. His prediction that the trend would continue became known as "Moore's Law" and, later amended to every two years, it helped push Intel and rival chipmakers to aggressively target their research and development resources to make sure that rule of thumb came true.
