Meta Trains AI on Images Shared via Ray-Ban Smart Glasses- Grapevine

I don't see Meta AI on WhatsApp yet. But saw it in posts here (looks very interesting), and then read this. Seems like Meta is serious about being the de-facto AI consumer chatbot in large geographies!

- Meta has developed a new AI model, Movie Gen, capable of creating realistic video and audio clips.
- The model can generate background music and sound effects, and edit existing videos.
- Movie Gen's videos can be up to 16 seconds long, and audio up to 45 seconds.
- Meta is working with the entertainment community on uses of Movie Gen, planning to incorporate it into its own products next year.
- The company used a mix of licensed and publicly available datasets to build Movie Gen.

Meta's New AI Model Rivals OpenAI with Video and Sound Generation

Looks like meta ecosystem will reduce the need to do the hard work (open browser > ChatGPT > prompt ).

Tried some health tips, travel itineraries - No Hallucinations! Will keep reviewing for more areas.

Meta intends to offer a commercial license for their next open-source LLM, enabling companies to freely utilize and profit from their AI model.

Rn their LLM is currently limited to research purposes only. Opening it up for commercial use would drive its adoption even further.

Engineers are experimenting with LLaMA as a side project. Unfortunately, they are unable to integrate these models into their commercial software. Meta's commercial license would be a crucial breakthrough for rapid adoption.

Meta is creating significant pressure for OpenAI and Google by making it's AI model available for commercial use

How are you folks feeling about this one?

New WhatsApp redesign. I actually like it. Clean, and not major changes.

Offer : E4 175k pounds
Current: L4 56 Lakhs
YoE: 1 year 7 months

Here's what I have considered:

- Living in London is going to be costly, on an avg I'll be saving 1.2x of India.
- Meta London created a bad reputation for itself when last year it laid off people from India just 2 days after joining
- it's not worth it going from L4 to E4, I probably should switch only when getting a higher level or a big big pay bump (this is probably not a big pay bump considering the cost of living)
- I am not very good at making friends, and I have quite some friends here now... I don't just want to leave everything and be alone in a new city so far away from home.

- the only pro point I see is that..  it is London.

Do you think I should reconsider my decision?

Marc Andreessen famously declared, "Software is eating the World," and the truth in that statement has only grown with time. But here's the kicker: software itself is now under threat, because "Data is eating Software."
The evolution of technology has reached a fascinating moment.

Back in the day, individuals and organizations ran their own servers. Essentially, it was highly centralized and resource-intensive. Then came the era of Cloud Computing, which transformed computing into a utility, much like electricity. Cloud computing became widely accessible through AWS, Azure, and GCP and quickly commoditized server infrastructure. 

This shift enabled unparalleled scalability and flexibility, essentially democratizing access to computing power.

Now, a similar transformation is underway in AI, particularly with the foundational models developed by tech companies like Meta, OpenAI, Google, and others.

Here's where the ambitious vision for the future unfolds.
Just as Cloud Computing commoditized servers, data is poised to commoditize foundational AI models. 
These models are remarkably powerful, but they will too hit an upper limit on how great they can be. 

As Data accumulates at an exponential rate, it's becoming clear that Data, not these foundational models, will be the only sustainable moat in any AI application.

The true moat isn't the model itself; it's the data that refines and trains the model. Data will be the key to unlocking the full potential of AI, enabling personalized experiences, hyper-accurate predictions, and previously unimaginable insights.

So, while Marc Andreessen's proclamation about software remains timeless, the torch is passing to "Data is eating Software."

Marc Andreessen said, "Software is eating the World." Now, "Data is eating Software"

- Meta has unveiled Llama 3.1 405B, its largest open source AI model to date, boasting 405 billion parameters, making it competitive with leading proprietary models like OpenAI’s GPT-4o and Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet.
- Trained using 16,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs and a dataset of 15 trillion tokens, Llama 3.1 405B is designed to handle a variety of text-based tasks, from coding to summarizing documents in multiple languages.
- Meta is also exploring multimodality, developing Llama models that can recognize images and videos, and understand speech, although these are not yet ready for public release.
- The company has updated Llama’s license to allow developers to use outputs from the Llama 3.1 model family to develop third-party AI generative models, aiming to foster an ecosystem around its AI tools.
- Despite its advancements, Llama 3.1 405B requires significant hardware to run and Meta continues to face scrutiny over its use of training data, including copyrighted materials.

Share stories on how ChatGPT or other GenAI tools are helping you day to day and any crazy instances where it fast-tracked you saving time and efforts by 10x

This will be very helpful to know what all usecases people are targeting and how can I incorporate these more in my day to day job.

- Grok's Content Issues: Elon Musk’s platform X recently experienced a surge of AI-generated images, including violent, offensive, and sexually suggestive content, created by Grok, an AI tool with minimal content moderation.
- Experiment in Moderation: Grok's rollout tested the limits of AI content moderation by allowing unfiltered image generation, raising concerns about the safety and appropriateness of such tools on widely used social platforms.
- Comparison with Other Tools: Unlike other AI image generators like OpenAI's DALL-E or Adobe's Firefly, which have strict guardrails to prevent harmful content, Grok has minimal restrictions, leading to the creation of potentially misleading or harmful images.
- NewsGuard's Findings: NewsGuard tested Grok against other AI tools and found it more likely to produce images that could support false narratives, highlighting the risks of minimal moderation.
- Political and Ethical Concerns: The unfiltered nature of Grok and Musk’s focus on "anti-woke" AI development has sparked political and ethical debates, with concerns about the broader implications for AI safety and research.

While Apple is indeed using OpenAI’s ChatGPT for some of its functionalities, namely its chatbot services, most of it, has ben developed in-house by Apple. However, in order to do that, Apple has to rely on Google for one major thing
