If you have been on Twitter in the last few days, you likely noticed a deluge of screenshots from a service called ChatGPT. From the OpenAI group, ChatGPT is a conversational tool that allows you to provide the system with prompts that it responds to in written format. Just don't identify as a journalist during the onboarding process -- you'll get jammed up. Self-describe in a different manner and you can get right in.) The Exchange explores startups, markets and money.

Visitors can watch images from their dreams stripped of their individual significance and fused together into a single AI hivemind fantasy. This is the year that the AI generator DALL-E took the world by storm with its ability to conjure fantastical visions in seconds with nothing but a written prompt. It seems fitting, therefore, that the application is closing out the year with its institutional debut at the Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida--its name was, after all, partly inspired by the eccentric Spanish painter. "The Shape of Dreams" is a fresh exploration of a topic that has long fascinated artists, especially Dalí and his fellow Surrealists. The paintings on show trace how dreams have inspired painters for some 500 years, from Italian Baroque artists like Lodovico Carracci and Luca Giordano to 20th century figures such as Max Beckmann, Paul Delvaux, and Frida Kahlo.

In 2013, researchers at Oxford published an analysis of the jobs most likely to be threatened by automation and artificial intelligence. At the top of the list were occupations such as telemarketing, hand sewing, and brokerage clerking. These and other at-risk jobs involved doing repetitive and unimaginative work, which seemed to make them easy pickings for AI.

I wasn't around when the internet was discovered for the first time but I could only imagine this must be what it's like to do so. Feature Image was a prompt suggested by the AI itself, "A person's mind being stretched and expanded by the limitless possibilities of artificial intelligence". And the tl;dr above is written by it as well. Linh Dao Smooke is the wife of David Smooke, the founder of Hacker Noon. She is also a co-founder of the company and serves as the Chief Strategy Officer.

Check out the on-demand sessions from the Low-Code/No-Code Summit to learn how to successfully innovate and achieve efficiency by upskilling and scaling citizen developers. Generative AI and LLMs were two of the hottest topics at NeurIPS 2022, which brought the AI and ML community back in-person for the first time since 2019 and has offered "a lot of excitement," said Alice Oh, professor at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology and the conference's lead program chair. Some of that excitement may have been the sound of thousands of keyboards trying out OpenAI's ChatGPT demo, which was released on Wednesday and has been the talk of Twitter, if not NeurIPS, since then. But the Conference and Workshop on Neural Information Processing Systems, a machine learning and computational neuroscience conference held every December, this year in New Orleans, certainly had plenty of its own buzz going on. According to conference leaders, over 10,000 were in attendance in person, with another 3,000 tuning in online.

Check out the on-demand sessions from the Low-Code/No-Code Summit to learn how to successfully innovate and achieve efficiency by upskilling and scaling citizen developers. Generative AI frameworks and models are one of the hottest trends of 2022, as new approaches have come to market that enable users and organizations to generate images and text. Among the organizations building generative AI technologies is Stability AI, which raised $101 million in funding in October. Stability AI develops open-source foundation models, including the popular Stable Diffusion model. Stable Diffusion enables anyone to generate creative images simply by inputting a text prompt describing the desired image.

This article is from Big Technology, a newsletter by Alex Kantrowitz. A chatbot that meets the hype is finally here. On Thursday, OpenAI released ChatGPT, a bot that converses with humans via cutting-edge artificial intelligence. The bot can help you write code, compose essays, dream up stories, and decorate your living room. And that's just what people discovered on day one.

On Wednesday, OpenAI announced ChatGPT, a dialogue-based AI chat interface for its GPT-3 family of large language models. It's currently free to use with an OpenAI account during a testing phase. Unlike the GPT-3 model found in OpenAI's Playground and API, ChatGPT provides a user-friendly conversational interface and is designed to strongly limit potentially harmful output. "The dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer followup questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests," writes OpenAI on its announcement blog page. So far, people have been putting ChatGPT through its paces, finding a wide variety of potential uses while also exploring its vulnerabilities.

As protests against rigid covid control measures in China engulfed social media in the past week, one Twitter account has emerged as the central source of information: @李老师不是你老师 ("Teacher Li Is Not Your Teacher"). People everywhere in China have sent protest footage and real-time updates to the account through private messages, and it has posted them, with the sender's identity hidden, on their behalf. The man behind the account, Li, is a Chinese painter based in Italy, who requested to be identified only by his last name in light of the security risks. He's been tirelessly posting footage around the clock to help people within China get information, and also to inform the wider world. The work has been taking its toll--he's received death threats, and police have visited his family back in China.
