Lore Issue #27: BabyAGI Announcement + Elon Musk Starts X.AI
This week has been quite eventful in the world of AI. From the announcement of the latest updates in Auto-GPTs to the founding of X.AI by Elon Musk, there's a lot to talk about. Let's dive right in.
BabyAGI Gets Major Support
The creator of BabyAGI, Yohei Nakajima, recently announced that Fraser, ex-Head of Product at OpenAI, has joined the project as the lead. In addition to Fraser, Spark Capital, Replit, and Chroma are supporting the project as well. BabyAGI has been receiving a lot of attention, and this new support will help to move the project forward.
Elon Musk Founding X.AI
During an interview with Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk disclosed his intention to launch a new enterprise named X.AI, which seems to be a direct rival to OpenAI. Musk also mentioned that he plans to launch a product called "TruthGPT," which has raised some eyebrows due to its similarity to former President Donald Trump's social media platform, TruthSocial.
Musk also hinted in a tweet that he might take legal action against OpenAI, adding another layer of complexity to the situation. It will be interesting to see how this develops and what impact X.AI will have on the AI industry.
Auto-GPTs Continue to Impress
Auto-GPTs are advancing quickly, and they have become the fastest-growing repository on GitHub, even surpassing PyTorch. While they are still in their early stages, these technologies show a lot of promise for performing various tasks with some refinements. We conducted an experiment with GPT-4 to create tweet threads, gauging the effectiveness of AI-generated content in capturing audience attention. The results were impressive, and we are now considering using Auto-GPTs for the process. As businesses explore the potential of Auto-GPTs, it's essential to stay informed and conduct tests to determine current capabilities.
Samsung Contemplates Replacement of Google Search Engine
The New York Times recently reported that Samsung is considering replacing Google as their default search engine, which could be a significant setback for Google. If other mobile providers decide to do the same, it could have significant implications for Google. Alphabet's share price already declined by 4% due to the news.
AWS Offers Access to Generative AI with Bedrock
Amazon recently launched a new service called Bedrock, which provides access to generative AI on AWS. This move signals Amazon's commitment to advancing in this field, and it will be interesting to see what developments arise from this.
That's it for this issue of Lore. Stay tuned for more updates on the latest happenings in the AI industry!
