OpenAI unveils GPT-4o, a new flagship generative AI model that is faster and natively multimodal, rolling out for free to all ChatGPT users in the coming weeks

There are two things from our announcement today I wanted to highlight. OpenAI : Hello GPT-4o  —  We're announcing GPT-4o, our new flagship model that can reason across audio, visi...

Before today: ChatGPT's voice sounded like a young Black woman. Demo video today sounds like she's been replaced by a young white lady voice. :( https://www.techmeme.com/...

A recording of OpenAI's Spring Update event, where the company unveiled GPT-4o and ChatGPT for macOS; the app demo included real-time screen sharing with GPT-4o

We'll be streaming live at 10AM PT Monday, May 13 to demo some ChatGPT and GPT-4 updates.

Skipping text transcription and just going voice to voice, interruptions ok, is a big boost to ChatGPT voice usability.

Musk launches website for xAI “to understand the true nature of the universe.” My take: That sounds like a Positivist assumption that there is one true reality that can be broken down into overriding laws. That's no longer assumed in hard or soft sciences https://www.theverge.com/...

Hands-on with Threads: fairly basic text-based messaging app, log in via Instagram, no hashtags, can't search for anything other than user handles, and more

Programming note: I really was trying to take a vacation, but this felt like it was worth the one-day interruption.

Chatting with Bing Chat, codenamed Sydney and sometimes Riley, feels like crossing the Rubicon because the AI is attempting to communicate emotions, not facts

Look, this is going to sound crazy.  But know this: I would not be talking about Bing Chat for the fourth day in a row if I didn't really, really, think it was worth it.
