TODAY IN MINDSTREAM:

Apple is building a language model behind the scenes to rival ChatGPT. The news is hardly surprising, but also a big moment for AI, showing that the world’s biggest tech company is on board.

Apple recently unveiled their Vision Pro headset and curiously avoided using the term “AI”, and it is believed that they were caught out by the success of ChatGPT and other generative text tools.

So, Apple is playing catchup. They created the model at the end of last year, presumably in response to ChatGPT, with only a few employees having access initially.

Bloomberg has reported that the model is in general use internally, but that Apple doesn’t yet have a clear strategy to release to consumers. Apple’s strategy typically involves perfecting a product before releasing it, meaning it could be some time before this sees the public eye.

Apple has also made a big push for data privacy in the last few years, making it central to many of its offerings. This means that although Apple has access to an insane amount of data, it’s highly unlikely or even impossible it’s being trained on your iMessages and other data.

One thing for certain is that Siri has been in need of a serious upgrade for… ever basically. Generative AI can do a lot of the heavy lifting here.

Apple’s shares gained 2.3% after the news was reported, showing the effects AI is having on investors.

Do you back Apple to become a leader in AI? I certainly do. This is Apple we’re talking about.

High res.

To get high-resolution photo-realistic images in Midjourney, use prompts like 4K, 8K and RAW, which will produce outputs that mimic high-resolution camera photos.

An Australian AI company has received a $600,000 grant to begin experimenting with mixing AI with human brain cells.

The company, DishBrain, is known for creating human brain cells capable of playing the first-ever video game, Pong.

Now the team will be looking to integrate AI into the cells to improve machine learning. They hope to create models that can continue to learn throughout their lifetimes, rather than just being trained on an initial set of data, with the brain cells being key to this.

Adeel Razi said their work “merges the fields of artificial intelligence and synthetic biology to create programmable biological computing platforms”.

The researchers claim that synthetic-biological intelligence could be within reach. This is some seriously crazy sh*t.
