Self-driving taxis, artificial intelligence (AI) at the counter, and lawyers at the prison? Automation is not coming – it's already here.
Artificial intelligence
If you believed that the future would bring flying cars, you were partly right. Except that they'll be driven by GPT-8, and you'll be in the back seat - if you even have a job.
Musk will say more than usual on today's investor call - he will use the presentation to completely update the company. He will present a vision of Tesla's future that could change the fundamental nature of the company. Perhaps tomorrow Tesla will no longer be primarily a car company, but a technology giant focused on robots and artificial intelligence.
GPT-4.5, the latest artificial intelligence model from OpenAI Labs, is the first to successfully pass the famous Turing Test. In a recent scientific study, 73 % participants believed they were communicating with a real person—and not an algorithm. But while this is an impressive achievement, it also raises some pretty scary questions.
The o3 and o4-mini models can think with images, code better than you, and locate your bistro with a photo of a sandwich. Is this artificial general intelligence - AGI?
Rumors from Cupertino and insiders suggest that Apple is developing a new device called the Apple Vision Air — sleek, ultralight AR glasses that are said to act as a "future remote control" for your Mac, iPhone, and the entire Apple ecosystem. Is this the first real step toward Apple's "future glasses"?
Explosive drama at Meta, shocking transparency at OpenAI, and developments that put us just months away from AGI. So - this week in artificial intelligence.
OpenAI just upgraded the brain of its digital child. If GPT-4o was already amazing, ChatGPT 4.1 is like a Terminator who graduated from philosophy school and can write code.
Artificial intelligence has already taught us how to properly compose a resume, write emails, draw cats in the style of Picasso, and solve complex math problems with childlike ease. All well and good. But OpenAI is now trying something that goes beyond Excel spreadsheets and aesthetically pleasing memes: using OpenAI Jukebox to create a song that people would actually want to hear more than once.
When a Chinese person writes a code and an American person makes a PowerPoint presentation about how they're going to ban it, we know that the Cold War has moved into the AI phase. And that we all have – pardon the expression – a serious problem. Artificial Intelligence and the New Cold War and why we'll soon all be just pets in a simulation!
Artificial intelligence is not waiting. While most of the world is still wondering whether ChatGPT really understands sarcasm, Microsoft has already added an AI button to its keyboard. But behind the scenes, shifts are happening that are changing the way we work, create, and even exist. So - this week in artificial intelligence #14!
Who else will go to work? You used to drink coffee in the morning, grab your bag and go to work. In the evening you complained about your boss, waited for Friday as salvation, and had an existential crisis on Sundays. Today? Your boss can be a chatbot, and your work can become a function in an API overnight. Welcome to a time when we are not only losing jobs, but also the sense of why we work at all.
