META DOUBLES DOWN ON OPEN-SOURCE LLMS

With Llama 2, Meta is going for gold, aiming to make AI more open, usable, and safer.

They're throwing open the gates, letting anyone get their hands on this new tech. It's like Meta turned a private beach into a public park for all to enjoy.

Llama 2 is a powerful tool for businesses, startups, and researchers.

Think of it as a treasure chest of AI goodies, available for anyone who wants to create something new or jazz up something old.

From a tech start-up in a basement to big corporate labs, everyone gets a piece of the pie.

Meta's not going it alone, though.

They're joining hands with Microsoft to put Llama 2 into the Azure AI model catalog. It’s like the AI dream team version of Batman and Superman, fighting to make AI innovation more effortless and accessible.

Even Amazon Web Services and Hugging Face are getting a piece of the Llama action!

But Meta isn't just throwing a party and hoping for the best.

They're being smart about it. They're 'red-teaming' Llama 2, having experts test it for weaknesses. They also provide a 'responsible use guide' and an 'acceptable use policy.'

So, while it's a party, it's one where everyone needs to respect the house rules.

Making AI like Llama 2 open-source can be a game-changer. Consider the invention of the printing press in the 15th century. Books weren't just for the elite; they were for everyone.

Llama 2 might kickstart a new wave of AI-powered breakthroughs.

You and I have a need. A need that is so basic and primal that it drives us bonkers when it’s not met. I’m talking about the need to be understood. 

Imagine trying to explain the ideas behind a new dashboard to a teammate. You have two options: write documentation that will be outdated in a week or exhaust yourself with a video that takes 15 tries to get right. Neither one sounds all that great, but that’s where guidde comes in.

guidde is a generative AI platform that helps you communicate and be understood.

Whether onboarding new customers, creating how-to videos, or syncing with your team on a new product feature, guidde helps make that content 11x faster than the current standard and keeps things engaging.

All you do is record the workflow. The AI comes in and handles the rest.

It creates a point-by-point storyline and allows you to personalize every detail. You can even add an AI avatar to it. Everything about a guidde video shouts professional, and it’s instantly shareable.

Remember, you deserve to be understood. Level up your communication game with guidde and never look back.

TERRIBLE TIMING FOR A COOL AI TOOL

During this writers and actors strike, Fable Studios decided to introduce an AI that can do all the work involved in making a TV show. 

In the words of Dr. Ian Malcolm, "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

The show in question is a generated "South Park" episode—Cartman's madcap deepfake misadventures.

CEO Edward Saatchi thinks showing this technology can help with labor negotiations. He says it might make Hollywood guilds create strict rules to stop producers from using AI tools without permission from artists.

The fear of AI as a replacement is central to this strike.

But Fable Studios has grander ambitions beyond shaking Hollywood. Saatchi has a vision for creating Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) where imagined characters live in simulations.

However, having AI-generated creative work could have negative consequences for human storytelling.

As things play out, Fable Studios will either end up as the good guy or villain in this drama. One thing is for sure: It's a cliffhanger ending.

So, grab your popcorn because this season finale is one you won't want to miss.
