Monkey plays ping-pong with its brain πŸ’

PLUS: Speech-to-text that's better than Whisper, Open-sourced AI Plugins & more

Hi folks!πŸ‘‹πŸ» This is The Prompt! We get you AI-educated!

Quick side note: A few of you asked me how to build ChatGPT plugins. You can check out OpenAI's documentation to learn more about the process. But to actually build one, you need to get on the waitlist for developers and get access.

Let's see what else is new πŸ‘‡πŸ»

MONKEY BUSINESS

Monkey MindPong with Neuralink πŸ“

This monkey has an implanted Neuralink brain chip and is playing a game of pong with his brain.

Yes, you read that right.

But how?

The monkey, Pager, was trained to interact with the screen using a controller. After bringing the ball to the square, they gave him a banana smoothie. As he did that, the brain chip analyzed his brain neurons for calibration.

That’s nice… but:

After a few minutes of calibration, Pager plays the same game, but the controller is UNPLUGGED.

Pager thinks he's still using the controller, but he's actually using his brain.

Watch the whole demo here.

NEW TECH

Conformer-1: New speech-to-text model πŸ›‘

Conformer-1 is a new speech-to-text model by Assembly AI.

It outperforms Whisper in robustness on noisy data like podcasts, webinars, telephone calls, and meetings.

Trained on 650K hours of audio data it achieves near human-level performance.

The model is available via their API as well.

WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON

πŸ¦™ Sam Altman’s interview on the Lex Fridmans show. 2-hour long interview on all things GPT-4, AGI, and what’s next for OpenAI & AI in general.

πŸ‘€ Jailbreaking GPT-3.5 using GPT-4. The idea is for GPT-4 to come up with prompts and say things that GPT 3.5 has been RLHF'd not to say.

πŸ‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈ  GPT4 saved a dog’s life. GPT4 provided a diagnosis based on blood test data and a condition description, which along with the help of a good vet, saved the dog's life.
