Existential risk, AI, and the inevitable turn in human history

This is a blog post by Tyler Cowen, a well-known economist and blogger, in which he discusses how the current era of rapid technological change, particularly in the field of AI, is likely to cause significant upheavals in human history. Cowen argues that humans are not accustomed to living in "moving history," and that the changes brought about by AI are likely to cause panic, disorientation, and disruption.

Genmo: AI Chatbot That Can Chat and Edit Images

Genmo is not just another AI chatbot - it's a creative and multimodal machine that can take your chats to the next level. And unlike MidJourney, it can also create and edit images and videos based on your input. Check out the short demo in the link above.

P.s. The brains behind Genmo is the coauthor of the paper that started the diffusion revolution.

Perplexity AI Announces iPhone App and $25.6 Million in Series A Funding

AI search platform Perplexity just raised a whopping $25.6 million for their series A. Before that, they announced a new iPhone app. It's like ChatGPT but with voice and real-time search. The user interface is sleek and the citation feature is good (you can see the exact paragraph the AI cites from each source so you know you're getting accurate information).
