🧠 ChatGPT is getting a digital memoryLINK
OpenAI is introducing a "memory" feature for ChatGPT to remember users' preferences and conversation details, aiming to personalize interactions more effectively.
The memory feature can learn specifics about a user either through direct instruction or by gradually picking up details from interactions, with each customized GPT model maintaining its memory for more personalized service.
While the memory feature addresses the need for a more personalized AI experience, it raises privacy concerns, however, OpenAI offers options for users to manage what ChatGPT remembers and includes a Temporary Chat mode for more private conversations.
🥽 Zuckerberg says Quest 3 is better than Vision Pro in every wayLINK
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, stated on Instagram that he believes the Quest 3 headset is not only a better value but also a superior product compared to Apple's Vision Pro.
Zuckerberg emphasized the Quest 3's advantages over the Vision Pro, including its lighter weight, lack of a wired battery pack for greater motion, a wider field of view, and a more immersive content library.
While acknowledging the Vision Pro's strength as an entertainment device, Zuckerberg highlighted the Quest 3's significant cost benefit, being "like seven times less expensive" than the Vision Pro.
💬 Slack is getting a major Gen AI boostLINK
Slack is introducing AI features allowing for summaries of threads, channel recaps, and the answering of work-related questions, initially available as a paid add-on for Slack Enterprise users.
The AI tool enables summarization of unread messages or messages from a specified timeframe and allows users to ask questions about workplace projects or policies based on previous Slack messages.
Slack is expanding its AI capabilities to integrate with other applications, summarizing external documents and building a new digest feature to highlight important messages, with a focus on keeping customer data private and siloed.
🔒 Microsoft and OpenAI claim hackers are using generative AI to improve cyberattacksLINK
Russia, China, and other nations are leveraging the latest artificial intelligence tools to enhance hacking capabilities and identify new espionage targets, based on a report from Microsoft and OpenAI.
The report highlights the association of AI use with specific hacking groups from China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, marking a first in identifying such ties to government-sponsored cyber activities.
Microsoft has taken steps to block these groups' access to AI tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT, aiming to curb their ability to conduct espionage and cyberattacks, despite challenges in completely stopping such activities.
🖼️ Apple researchers unveil ‘Keyframer’, a new AI toolLINK
Apple researchers have introduced "Keyframer," an AI tool using large language models (LLMs) to animate still images with natural language prompts.
"Keyframer" can generate CSS animation code from text prompts and allows users to refine animations by editing the code or adding prompts, enhancing the creative process.
The tool aims to democratize animation, making it accessible to non-experts and indicating a shift towards AI-assisted creative processes in various industries.
