- Amazon's much-anticipated revamp of Alexa may include a paid subscription option and will reportedly rely on Anthropic's Claude AI.
- According to Reuters, Amazon will incorporate Claude AI into its Alexa voice-assistant technology, marking a significant win for the San Francisco-based AI company.
- Reports from June indicated that Amazon's Alexa revamp would feature a paid tier offering advanced generative AI tech, costing between $5 to $10.
- Amazon invested $4 billion in Anthropic last year and laid off hundreds of Alexa team members as a cost-cutting measure.
- Amazon spokesperson highlighted that Alexa uses a mix of AI models, and the new paid version could be introduced as early as October.

Any suggestions..

Amazon's cloud division is investigating Perplexity AI for potential violation of scraping rules by accessing websites that had forbidden it to do so.

1/ Scraping Practices and Plagiarism: Perplexity AI appears to rely on content from scraped websites that had forbidden access through the Robots Exclusion Protocol, and has been accused of stealing articles and engaging in scraping abuse and plagiarism.

2/ Response and Investigation: Perplexity CEO initially denied allegations, but later stated that the IP address observed scraping websites was operated by a third-party company. Amazon's investigation is ongoing, and Perplexity claims to have made no changes to its operation in response to Amazon's concerns.

3/ AI Content Usage and Violations: If the allegations against Perplexity are true, the company may be violating principles for governing generative AI and potentially engaging in improper content usage.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I felt like doing this AMA since, recently, students and experienced folks are being lured by 'paid' open-source courses. Feel free to ask any questions without paying any $$$. I won't respond to questions which could potentially dox me though.

P.S. I know the post title is cringy, but I couldn't think of anything better ATM.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hey guys, I just wanted to ask for some help

As you all know, I started building the open-source version of perplexity and have made huge progress but I am just curious if anyone even wants it? 

Aravind had some background to raise money and create hype. I can't do it even if my tech is open-source or maybe even better.

What should I do? Do i still do it or just leave it here.

Need your help to decide

Content and marketing folks are pretty much using ChatGPT all the time now. Wondering if coders and operation folks are also using it for work or not.

I've started trying long form content generation where tokens are spent repeatedly until the task is complete using code interpreter. Maybe autogpt would be better suited for in depth work. Anyone here using autogpt by any chance?

Do you use code interpreter for your tasks?

I am curious about the ways one is making money via code other than their primary job or freelance on weekends🤔
How are they using their coding knowledge to make passive money?

Code<>Money<>Automate

1. You are building a software that otherwise could be built by a 12 year old kid, if given proper training.
2. You cannot code if I cut off google, stackoverflow & related websites.
3. You are just concerned about producing the output quickly because a. your work is time bound, b. you want to stand out from others.
4. You attend countless meetings that carry no value, thanks to Agile.
5. 10 people write code for the same software which otherwise could have been written by 1 person.
6. You write pages of documents just because you are expected to write for the team, compliance & stuff.
7. You don’t care about non-functional requirements as nobody asked for it.
8. You are spending hours together in coding a simple thing & you are branded a hard-worker.
9. Or you don’t spend much time in coding because you impress people with tech jargons that you learnt recently. You are branded a smart-worker.
10. The code you write will be completely rewritten in next 3-4 years just to catch up with the industry trends.
11. Your only goal is to earn loads of money which otherwise could not be earned in other engineering fields. That’s one of the reasons why you are on grapevine.

Prove me wrong if you can, by commenting your opinion.

Software engineering job is highly overrated. Prove me wrong if you can.

Thanks to code, I can finally afford a gift like this. Once upon a time I would have called this outrageous but now I get it. My GF is very special to me and she might just be the one! 

Wish me luck!

As a software engineer/developer is GPT 4 subscription worth it? Please comment and share your thoughts if you're the subscriber.

GPT 4

People in tech are in over their heads. There’s been an unsustainable inflation in salaries and somehow 20 somethings have actually started believing their skills are worth what they’re making

I speak to so many engineers who just with two years of experience are making 30-40 LPA packages. They actually believe they are better than people in say banking who make the same salary after 15 years of grinding it out. 

It’s all supply-demand. Supply will soon catch up to the demand. Salary normalization will happen. 

Your salaries may not grow for years if you don’t personally grow as well in skill set and become more valuable overall. 

At the least, don’t have an attitude about how much you make. Stay humble. Enjoy the good times while they are still here

Rant - People in Tech have lost their mind

I work at a fintech company..
We have a engineering team of 35 dev which includes around 10 senior devs and the remaining are interns and junior devs..

we got called for a productivity improvement meeting by one of the senior developer and he just denied chatgpt for us..

Okay I’am biased here.. 
I agree we need to embrace new technologies..
But his point was to use chatgpt promts to write all of our code and it makes no sense..

He demoed chatgpt promts and was like “ see you don’t need to write a single line of code “

When we told we should not solely depend on tools such as copilot or chatgpt as it will not help  us as well as the interns and the junior devs..

You code to learn .. you don’t learn to code ..
Just by copy pasting code snippets for chatgpt will take them nowhere and I’m pretty sure it will confuse them even more ..

What do you guys feel ?
