Generative AI
Stability AI looks to AWS cloud to power the next generation of generative AI
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.
Finally, an A.I. Chatbot That Reliably Passes "the Nazi Test"
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.
OpenAI invites everyone to test new AI-powered chatbot--with amusing results
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.
The Download: circumventing China's firewall, and using AI to invent new drugs
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.
Biotech labs are using AI inspired by DALL-E to invent new drugs
Today, two labs separately announced programs that use diffusion models to generate designs for novel proteins with more precision than ever before. Generate Biomedicines, a Boston-based startup, revealed a program called Chroma, which the company describes as the "DALL-E 2 of biology." At the same time, a team at the University of Washington led by biologist David Baker has built a similar program called RoseTTAFold Diffusion. In a preprint paper posted online today, Baker and his colleagues show that their model can generate precise designs for novel proteins that can then be brought to life in the lab. "We're generating proteins with really no similarity to existing ones," says Brian Trippe, one of the co-developers of RoseTTAFold. These protein generators can be directed to produce designs for proteins with specific properties, such as shape or size or function.
Programming Is Hard -- Or at Least It Used to Be: Educational Opportunities And Challenges of AI Code Generation
Becker, Brett A., Denny, Paul, Finnie-Ansley, James, Luxton-Reilly, Andrew, Prather, James, Santos, Eddie Antonio
The introductory programming sequence has been the focus of much research in computing education. The recent advent of several viable and freely-available AI-driven code generation tools present several immediate opportunities and challenges in this domain. In this position paper we argue that the community needs to act quickly in deciding what possible opportunities can and should be leveraged and how, while also working on how to overcome or otherwise mitigate the possible challenges. Assuming that the effectiveness and proliferation of these tools will continue to progress rapidly, without quick, deliberate, and concerted efforts, educators will lose advantage in helping shape what opportunities come to be, and what challenges will endure. With this paper we aim to seed this discussion within the computing education community.
GPT-3 Keeps Evolving even Before GPT-4 is Announced
With the announcement of GPT-4 coming soon and building along with our anticipation really getting up there, what's so incredible about DeepMind or OpenAI is how they keep tweaking and improving their inventions. Not many publications have covered with Davinci-003 is all about so I thought I'd give it a shot. On Monday, OpenAI announced a new model in the GPT-3 family of AI-powered large language models, text-davinci-003, that reportedly improves on its predecessors by handling more complex instructions and producing longer-form content.

Woman talks to her past self in 'trippy' conversation
If we could talk to our younger selves, what would we say, what advice would we impart and how would it feel? Well, one woman has an idea after she created an artificial intelligence chatbot of herself as a child by training it to learn what she was like based on a diary written when she was young. 'Creative coder' Michelle Huang used source material from 10 years' worth of entries and combined it with the OpenAI language model Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3). She told people on Twitter that she created the AI system so that she'could engage in real-time dialogue' with her'inner child'. Ms Huang (left) used source material from 10 years' worth of entries and combined it with the OpenAI language model Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3. Pictured right is her as a child AI creation: Michelle Huang created an artificial intelligence chatbot of herself as a child by training it to learn what she was like based on a diary written when she was young.
