Open-sauce AI: Am I a joke to you?

GPT-4 is 82% more persuasive than humans, and AIs can now read emotions

GPT-4 is already better at changing people's minds than the average human is, according to new research. The gap widens the more it knows about us – and once it can see us in real time, AI seems likely to become an unprecedented persuasion machine.

We don't tend to like thinking of ourselves as being particularly easy to manipulate, but history would appear to show that there are few things more powerful than the ability to sway people to align with your view of things. As Yuval Noah Harari points out in Sapiens, his potted history of humankind, "shared fictions" like money, religion, nation states, laws and social norms form the fundamental backbones of human society. The ability to assemble around ideas and co-operate in groups much bigger than our local tribes is one of our most potent advantages over the animal kingdom.

But ideas are mushy. We aren't born with them, they get into our heads from somewhere, and they can often be changed. Those that can change people's minds at scale can achieve incredible things, or even reshape our societies – for better and for much worse.

Microsoft 365 Copilot Users to Get Improved GPT-4 Turbo Model
For $30 per month, you can get unlimited Copilot conversations across almost all Microsoft products.
By Ryan Whitwam April 3, 2024

Microsoft Copilot is spreading through all the company's products, but under the hood, it's just a version of OpenAI's GPT AI models. That means not all copilots are created equal. Depending on your subscription status and where you're talking to Copilot, you might get a more capable AI model. Microsoft has announced a significant upgrade for business AI subscribers. These instances of Copilot will now run on the latest and greatest GPT-4 Turbo model.

There are several ways to pay for Copilot—in this case, it's the $30 subscription for Copilot in Microsoft 365. That gives you unlimited access to Copilot in Windows, the Copilot app, Edge, on the web, and inside Microsoft 365 apps. With the subscription, you can carry on AI conversations as often and for as long as you want. This option should be more robust than the free tier of Copilot, which uses GPT-4 Turbo if you switch to Creative or Precise modes.

GPT-4 Turbo has been trained on web data up through April 2023, so its storehouse of word calculations is just a year out of date. It has a context window of 128,000 tokens, the largest of any OpenAI model. That matches the initial release of Google's next-gen Gemini 1.5 Pro, but the search giant says it's working on a version with a larger 1-million token window. Generally, the more tokens a model can process, the more accurate the output.

Microsoft says the web version of Copilot has access to the latest data from the web. It also reminds everyone that its commercial data protection policy means that Microsoft will not retain any prompt data. However, that probably won't change the position of the US House of Representatives that no one working for the body should use Copilot.

Announcing new Microsoft AI Hub in London

Apr 7, 2024

Microsoft recently announced the creation of Microsoft AI, a newly formed organization to help advance our consumer AI products and research, including Copilot. Building on that news, I’m thrilled to share that Microsoft AI is opening a new AI hub in the heart of London. Microsoft AI London will drive pioneering work to advance state-of-the-art language models and their supporting infrastructure, and to create world-class tooling for foundation models, collaborating closely with our AI teams across Microsoft and with our partners, including OpenAI.

The new AI hub will be led by Jordan Hoffmann, an exceptional AI scientist and engineer. Prior to joining Microsoft AI, Hoffmann distinguished himself as an AI pioneer at Inflection and DeepMind, based in London. Hoffmann will be joined by a talented group of Microsoft AI team members based in our London Paddington office.  

There is an enormous pool of AI talent and expertise in the U.K., and Microsoft AI plans to make a significant, long-term investment in the region as we begin hiring the best AI scientists and engineers into this new AI hub.

In the coming weeks and months, we will be posting job openings and actively hiring exceptional individuals who want to work on the most interesting and challenging AI questions of our time. We’re looking for new team members who are driven by impact at scale, and who are passionate innovators eager to contribute to a team culture where continuous learning is the norm.

This is great news for Microsoft AI and for the U.K. As a British citizen, born and raised in London, I’m proud to have co-founded and built a cutting-edge AI business here. I’m deeply aware of the extraordinary talent pool and AI ecosystem in the U.K., and I’m excited to make this commitment to the U.K. on behalf of Microsoft AI. I know – through my close work with thought leaders in the U.K. government, business community and academia – that the country is committed to advancing AI responsibly and with a safety-first commitment to drive investment, innovation and economic growth. Our decision to open this hub in the U.K. reflects this ambition.

Moderna's blog post: https://www.modernatx.com/en-US/media-c ... ith-openai

WSJ article: "At Moderna, OpenAI’s GPTs Are Changing Almost Everything"

Archived WSJ article: https://archive.ph/D1rvH

Moderna is expected to announce a partnership Wednesday with artificial-intelligence heavyweight OpenAI, a deal that aims to automate nearly every business process at the biotechnology company and boost the ChatGPT maker’s reach into the enterprise.

As part of the transaction, some 3,000 Moderna employees will have access to ChatGPT Enterprise, built on OpenAI’s most advanced language model, GPT-4, by the end of this week. Further integration of AI into more of its processes could help Moderna outpace its plan to roll out 15 new products within the next five years, the Cambridge, Mass., company said.
