NEWS
In a tragic turn of events, OpenAI silently pulled the plug on its AI detection tool, the "AI Classifier."
The tool's promise to save educators from the clutches of AI-generated content fell flat on its face due to "low accuracy rates".
OpenAI had once boasted about its ability to distinguish between human and AI-written text, but it turned out to be about as reliable as a coin flip.
Educators, fearing a student essay uprising, were left high and dry. But fear not! OpenAI vows to return, stronger and wiser, to battle the AI-generated text beast.
Tweet X of the day
I broke down the AI-angle behind why Elon is pivoting from Twitter to X. (HINT: It’s partially to take on OpenAI) 👇
Rebranding from Twitter to X was a brilliant business move by @elonmusk
A lot of people think this is a mistake, but they couldn't be more wrong.
By the end of this thread, you will understand why 🧵 twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

MIT's got a brand new toy for the world to play with.
It's called 'PhotoGuard', and it's designed to protect your images from nefarious AI editors via pixel-tweaking.
These changes, invisible to us humans, mess with the AI's understanding of what's in the photo. Pretty neat, right?
There's two ways they do this:
The 'encoder' method confuses the AI's understanding of the image, while the 'diffusion' tactic camouflages it entirely. This fools the AI into editing a "target" image instead.
Like most things in life, this isn't foolproof though. This protocol is susceptible to reverse-engineering protected images.
But still, at least it's a start!

Cerebras is taking supercomputers to new levels...
It just built one that's pulling off 2 exaflops - that's 2 billion billion (that's a one followed by eighteen zeros, btw) operations per second.
Due to double in size by 2024, it'll be part of a 9-supercomputer network cranking out 36 exaflops.
At the heart of each machine is a processor called Waferscale Engine-2, brimming with 2.6 trillion transistors and 850,000 AI cores.
So, what's next?
Expansion to Austin TX, and Ashville NC, each housing 64 of Cerebras's CS-2 computers.
But from the looks of it, Cerebra is having no trouble standing on their own 2 exaflops.
