LATEST DEVELOPMENTS
OPENAI
🧠 New ChatGPT updates to enhance user experience
Image source: Twitter @dharmesh
The Rundown: OpenAI released an epic new feature for ChatGPT, allowing it to show suggested follow-up prompts at the bottom of outputs. They also just tweeted that they’ll be rolling out more updates over the weekend.
Here’s what’s coming:
Plus users can upload multiple files for analysis with the Code Interpreter beta.
Keyboard shortcuts, such as ⌘ (Ctrl) + Shift + C to copy code blocks, introduced to improve efficiency.
Staying logged in for more than two weeks, and defaulting to GPT-4 for ‘Plus’ users.
Our thoughts: The attention to detail by the OpenAI team here is admirable. Amidst all the AI chaos, they’re still honing in to user feedback.
But a message to OpenAI (if they’re reading): when can I get my precious Browsing mode back?!
TOGETHER WITH INCOGNI
🫣 Erase yourself from the web
The Rundown: Data brokers make money off your personal information every day. They buy your data – home addresses, health information, contact details – and sell it to the highest bidder. Incogni scrubs your personal information from the web.
Kick back and worry less about health insurers raising your rates based on info from data brokers, scammers taking out loans in your name, and all the other terrible things bad actors do with personal data.
And the best thing is: The Rundown readers exclusively get 55% off Incogni annual plan with code ‘RUNDOWN’. Remove your personal data from the web now.
NORTHWELL HEALTH
🏥 AI helps quadriplegic man move and feel again
Image source: Northwell Health
The Rundown: Researchers have used AI-powered brain implants to restore movement and sensation for a man who was paralyzed from the chest down.
The story:
Keith Thomas became quadriplegic after a diving accident in 2020.
Scientists at Northwell Health's Feinstein Institutes performed a " double neural bypass " with brain microchips controlling movement and touch sensation.
Brain signals activate electrodes on Thomas' spine and muscles, enabling arm movement when he thinks about it.
Within four months, he doubled his arm strength.
Most importantly, researchers believe the bypass could lead to lasting natural recovery .
Our thoughts: Healthcare is one of those fields AI will do wonders in. This is a prime example: before this, there was no cure for quadriplegia.
But that’s not all — just recently, AI improved breast cancer detection rate by 20%, and AI detected signs of Parkinson’s 15 years before other symptoms. And those are just a few examples. AI will save lives.
IBM & NASA
🌎 IBM and NASA tackle climate change using AI
The Rundown: IBM and NASA have teamed up to apply AI in analyzing the Earth's climate, and now they’ve open-sourced the AI model on Hugging Face , making it widely available to the public.
Details:
The goal is to provide an easier and faster way for researchers to gain insights from large datasets related to Earth's systems.
Open source is emphasized as essential to accelerate discovery in areas like climate change.
NASA estimates 250,000TB of data from new satellite missions by 2024.
Why it matters: The open-sourcing of the model allows more researchers to access otherwise inaccessible data, increasing the chances of significant breakthroughs in climate change.
