Transcripts

so this week kicked off a series of

insane weeks where we're about to just

get bombarded with AI news this week

there was a ton now if we're looking

closely here most of it came out of

either Google or open AI seeing as how

open AI had their spring event on Monday

and Google had their annual IO event on

Tuesday it's pretty much been a week

that I can't really describe as anything

else but a giant announcement Fest the

week kicked off off on Monday with open

AI spring update I actually did a full

breakdown video of that spring update on

the channel you can find it it's called

chat gpts amazing new models feel human

and it's free however I do know a lot of

people watch just this one end of the

week video on this channel to get

totally caught up with all the AI news

so I will give you a quick recap plus

I'll share a few other things that they

didn't talk about in that keynote that

are pretty cool the event kicked off

with the announcement of GPT 40 the O

stands for Omni because it's a

multimodal model that can handle audio

and video and images and kind of

everything you can throw at it last week

when we were all talking about this

mysterious gpt2 chatbot that was on the

lm.org website and we were all

speculating that it was a new open AI

model well you're right this is what GPT

40 was now this new GPT 40 model is much

faster it's multimodal it understands

audio text images video and just

generally seems a lot better of a model

than what we were getting out of the

previous gp4 model but one of the big

announcements that they made at this

event was that it's going to be made

available for all the free chat GPT

users so now you don't even need to have

a paid plan of chat GPT to get access to

the GPT store the vision models the

browsing the internet models the memory

the Advanced data analytics AKA code

interpreter all of this is now available

inside of the free chat GPT model now if

you are a chat GPT plus member you're

still going to get features a little bit

earlier than the free members and you

get I think five times more outputs from

chat GPT so you can use it a lot more

but free users now get access to all of

the cool features that paid members have

gotten for those developers out there

the GPT 40 API is actually two times

faster than the last Model and it's 50%

cheaper and has a five times higher rate

limit all those developers out there

building with open AI GPT for API you

just got a lot better model for less

expensive but it was the conversational

aspect of this new model that I think

really had people talking it's very

reminiscent of that movie her and even

the voice sounds a little bit like

Scarlet Johansson's voice from her

here's a few examples of what they

showed off hey Cat I'm Mark how are you

oh Mark I'm doing great thanks for

asking how about you hey so I'm on stage

right now I'm doing a live demo and

frankly I'm feeling a little bit nervous

can you help me calm my nerves a little

bit oh you're doing a live demo right

now that's awesome just take a deep

breath and remember you're the expert I

like that suggestion let me try a couple

deep breaths can you give me feedback on

my breaths okay here I go

whoa slow a bit there mark you're not a

vacuum cleaner they also showed off a

demo where they had a math problem and

then they used the camera to look at the

math problem and then it helped them

solve the math problem step by step it

didn't just give them the answer they

asked for help to solve it and so it

actually walked them through how to

solve it instead of just giving them the

answer and you can see it eventually

helped them get to the correct answer

they also showed off their new desktop

app which apparently is going to be

available on Mac first at PC sometimes

in the future but it works in the same

way that you use the mobile app where

you talk to the app however one huge

difference is that it can actually see

what's going on in your screen you can

see there's a little screen button here

and you can allow it access to see

what's going on in your screen to help

you with code or debug whatever you're

working on they showed it interpreting

some data on a graph here and then they

showed the capabilities of actually

changing how it speaks which is really

cool so cool that I think you actually

need to see the clip but they're

definitely trying to make it much more

emotive and I want you to tell him a

bedtime story about robots and love oh a

bedtime story about robots and love I

got you covered gather round Barrett

once upon a time in a world not too

different from ours there was a robot

named bite bite was a curious robot

always expl started this story but I

want a little bit more emotion in your

voice a little bit more drama got it

let's add some drama one upon a time in

a world not too different from ours

there was a robot named no chbt I really

want maximal emotion like maximal

expressiveness much more than you were

doing before understood let's amplify

the drama once upon a time in a world

not too different from ours there was a

robot named bite bite can you do this in

a robotic voice now initiating dramatic

robotic voice once upon time in a world

not too different from ours there was a

robot named bite they also show that it

can recognize your face and guess the

sort of emotions you're going through

based on your facial expressions it

looks like you're feeling pretty happy

and cheerful with a big smile and maybe

even a touch of excitement whatever's

going on it seems like you're in a great

mood care to share the source of those

Good Vibes and those were really the

main things that they shared during this

keynote presentation it's Worth to watch

it's only 26 minutes to see the whole

presentation and everything they showed

off however there were some things that

they didn't show in the presentation

that they talked about in their blog

post here they completely left out the

fact that GPT 40 is actually an image

generator as well here's an image that

they generated of somebody writing on a

whiteboard and the text is actually

legible and it's a lot of text too which

is not something we've seen really yet

but if you check out the blog post which

will be linked below the video called

hello GPT 40 they actually have a whole

bunch of demo videos of it doing

different stuff that they didn't show in

their main keynote you can watch some of

these videos to see things like the two

phones singing back and forth to each

other and helping somebody prep for an

interview and playing rock paper

scissors and seeing how good it is at

sarcasm and more math examples there's a

whole bunch of really cool demo videos

that show off similar stuff to what they

showed in the demo video there but if

you scroll down a little bit further

you've got this section called

explorations of capabilities and it's

got a drop down of all of these other

capabilities that it's got that they did

not show off in the keynote like poster

creation for the movie detective input

let's design another poster with two new

characters this is a picture of Alex

nickel and a casual picture of Gabriel

go they gave a description of what

they're looking for in the poster and it

and it generated this picture here it

botched their names but managed to get

both of their faces into the poster and

write the word detective on it they

asked it to do some cleanup and and it

got even closer look at that pretty cool

poster this was done with GPT 40 here's

another example that shows character

consistency they created Gary the robot

here and then prompted that same robot

into different scenes they uploaded the

original image that it generated and

then asked it to generate an image of

him playing frisbee and it created the

same character but playing frisbee or he

likes to program computers same

character at a computer riding a bike

cooking playing violin it all started

with generating a character and then

uploading the character and then it was

able to consistently use that same

character again this is really

impressive stuff like why wasn't this

stuff in the keyote here's a

commemorative coin that they made for

GPT 40 and then they actually had it

generate the sounds of coins clanging on

[Applause]

metal they have this photo to caricature

ability where they upload an image like

this and then it makes a caricature

version of that image or here's another

one where it turned that into this sort

of cartoony car image here's another

example and another example and another

example this looks like it's pretty

impressive and they were able to do this

with one single input image they have

text to font where you can describe a

font and it will actually generate

entire fonts for you 3D object synthesis

what how is this not in the main keynote

a realistic looking 3D rendering of the

open AI logo with open AI shown below it

created this it then created it looks

like five more images of it at different

angles and then animated it into this 3D

logo here here's another one of a sea

lion where it basically generated the

image at multiple angles and once it had

all of the angles it was able to create

a 3D reconstruction with all of the

images they have examples of brand

placement here where they uploaded the

open aai Logo and this coaster here and

then it actually transferred that logo

onto the coaster so after you watch that

open AI video where they show off the

speaking and it sounds like her and

they're talking back and forth and

having conversations and helping with

math definitely come check out the open

AI blog post watch some of these other

demos but then click through the

exploration of capabilities of some of

the other stuff they did with it because

this is so much more powerful than what

they actually LED on in their keynote on

Monday like they could have done what

Google did and just made announcement

after announcement after announcement

and showed off all this stuff one by one

but they kind of paired it down and just

showed you a few of the features which

is crazy because some of the stuff here

to me is actually more impressive than

what they showed in their demo on Monday

the day after their presentation Sam

Alman was interviewed on the Logan

Bartlett show and one of the questions

he was asked was what use cases have you

found for this new tech that you just

put out that has been really helpful for

you one surprising one is putting my

phone on the table while I'm like really

in the zone of working and then without

having to like change Windows or change

what I'm doing using it as like another

channel so I'm like working on something

I would normally like stop what I'm

doing switch to another tab Google

something click around or whatever but

while I'm like still doing it to just

ask and get like an instant response

without changing from what I was looking

at on my computer that's been a

surprisingly cool thing now GPT 40 and

all of the capabilities we just saw

weren't the only news to come out of

open AI this week in fact on Tuesday

during the big Google iio event we got

word that Ilia suser one of the original

Founders over at open AI who started the

company up with Sam Alman decid to step

away now if you remember back in

November of 2023 Sam Alman was fired and

then brought back in well Ilia was one

of the people that was on the board at

the time that made the decision to fire

Sam he then regretted his decision made

a public apology on X said it was a

mistake to get rid of Sam but then

nobody really heard from Ilia since

until this week when we got word that

Ilia was stepping away I can only

speculate at this point but my guess is

that he wasn't really a fan of the

direction that open AI is heading in now

Ilia himself is a researcher he's an

academic I believe he loves the science

and the technology behind it he's less

of a fan of the monetization

capitalization of the technology and I

think he sees the direction that's all

headed and deciding that that's not

really where he wants to go again just

speculation I have no conversations with

anybody at open AI so I don't know for

sure but but that's kind of the vibe

that's going around about it it seems

like Ilia left on good terms he said

after almost a decade I've made the

decision to leave open AI the company's

trajectory has been nothing short of

miraculous and I'm confident that open

AI will build AGI that is both safe and

beneficial under the leadership of Sam

Greg and Mira it was an honor and a

privilege to have worked together and I

will miss everyone dearly so long and

thanks for everything I'm excited for

what's to come next a project that is

very personally meaningful to me about

which I will share details in due time

so he is moving on to some other project

project he's just being kind of hush

hush about it right now Sam also took to

Twitter to say nice things about Ilia

Ilia and open AI are going to part ways

it's very sad to me Ilia is easily one

of the greatest minds of Our Generation

a Guiding Light of our field and a dear

friend open AI would not be what it is

without him and he has something

personally meaningful that he's going to

go work on they have a new Chief

scientist his name is Jacob Pachi but

again it seems like he left on good

terms who knows what's really going on

behind the scenes but after after Ilia

made the announcement that he was

stepping away we got word that more

people at open aai were also leaving

including key members of the super

alignment team the people that are there

to make sure that AI doesn't go Rogue

and try to kill us all essentially

according to this article Yan leak

Leopold Ashen brener and William

Saunders all quit now I'm sure I

butchered some of those names but that's

besides the point these are all people

that actually didn't sign the memo early

on when everybody was trying to get Sam

Alman back these people that left

according to this article on Gizmodo

here were some of the holdouts that

weren't signing notes to get Sam Alman

back into the company now these are the

same people that left right when Ilia

left now if I had to guess I think Ilia

made the decision to leave quite a while

ago and they sort of timed the decision

with the gp40 announcement and Google

build event and all that stuff that was

going on to sort of bury it a little bit

they didn't want this new of Ilia

leaving to be the main hype in the news

cycle right now so they sort of just

squeezed in the news among everything

else that was happening that's kind of

my feeling on what's going on here the

very next day after the open AI event

was Google IO Google's annual event

where they make a ton of announcements

and this year again the announcements

were all about AI it's pretty clear at

this point that open AI is strategically

planning their announcements to happen

right around the time Google does their

announcements because they always seem

to be trying to overshadow Google Now

While open AI sort of had one big

announcement they were really sort of

showing off GPT 40 and the voice

capability and how to use it like a

voice assistant Google took a different

approach and just bombarded us with AI

announcements in fact Google themselves

put out a blog post called 100 things we

announced at IO 2024 if you want to

listen to this article it's 21 minutes

long but again I also did my own

breakdown of this you can find it here

on YouTube called Google just took over

the AI World a full breakdown in that

video I walk through all of my thoughts

from Google IO and all of the various

announcements but for those of you who

this is the one video per week that you

tune into from me I'll give you the

quick highlights of what I thought was

the most interesting they introduced

Gemini 1.5 flash a new large language

model that's faster but maybe not always

the most intelligent so if you need it

to respond fast you use this model if

you need it to have the best possible

output you use the Gemini 1.5 pro model

both 1.5 Pro and 1.5 flash have a 1

million token context window with plans

to jump it to a 2 million token context

window and if you don't know what that

means one token is about 75% of one word

so 1 million tokens means between the

amount of text you input for the large

language model and the text you get back

in the response combined can be about

750,000 words when it jumps to a 2

million token context window you can now

input and output about 1.5 million words

now the biggest showstopper from the

event in my opinion was when they showed

off project Astra with project Astra

they were able to take a mobile phone

and it was able to see what the phone

was looking at and then you can ask

questions about what it was looking at

and even draw on your phone and get more

details here's an example of what that

looked like tell me when you see

something that makes

sound I see a speaker which makes

sound what is that part of the speaker

called that is the Tweeter it produces

high frequency sounds and so the phone

was actually watching everything that

the camera can see but it also

remembered everything that it saw during

this whole process so let me fast

forward this a little bit because there

was one really interesting part here

notice how she casually moves past the

glasses there well let me Zoom ahead a

little bit further and check this out do

you remember where you saw my

glasses yes I do your glasses were on

the desk near a red

apple and you can see it remembered

where those glasses are and here's a

little Easter egg that most people

probably didn't catch if you watch what

happens next this might be a sneak

preview of what Google's working on next

because she grabs the glasses here puts

them on and then you no longer actually

see her doing this with her phone it

appears from that point on she's doing

it with glasses they didn't specifically

talk about this in the keynote but if

you watch the video that's clearly what

happened so just watch the rest

here she puts her phone down puts on the

glasses now you see her wearing

glasses what can I add here to make this

system

faster adding a cach between the server

and database could improve speed and

notice how there's some text on the

screen there I'm assuming that's what

she's seeing in her glasses as she's

talking so it might have like a little

bit of a heads up display in the glasses

a little bit of an augmented reality

element to them but they haven't

actually confirmed this so I'm just

reading into this from seeing this in

the video let's take a peek down here in

the corner we can see her wearing these

glasses here this might be the next

iteration of Google Glass I mean Google

Glass was ahead of its time because now

we're seeing stuff like The Meta Ray

bands actually become popular now this

was one of the things that I actually

got to demo in person you can see they

had a little camera up top looking down

at these objects here and you were able

to ask questions about the objects it

would tell you stories about a T-Rex and

a duck you can see he just added this

dut here it would add the dut into the

story and all of this stuff worked in

real time uh this was me shooting from

my 360 camera so you can see me watching

here but I actually did get to demo this

and it seemed to work as they showed it

off in their demos on stage they also

showed off this feature in Notebook LM

where you can throw a whole bunch of

data in there throw in docs and

spreadsheets and your own audio messages

and all sorts of stuff into this

notebook LM and then it would actually

create this like interactive podcast for

you where it would explain whatever

information you dumped into it and you

can kind of cut it off and ask questions

of it it was really really cool they

showed off imagine 3 which is their new

text to image model that's getting

really really impressive these images

are looking much more realistic than the

previous generations of imagine so

here's some more examples these are

really approaching mid journey level of

realism in my opinion but what was even

cooler than imagine 3 was when they

showed off Veo their new video

generation model which looks like it

wants to compete with Sora I don't feel

like the quality of the demos they

showed are quite up to the same par as

what we see out of Sora but this is like

the second best video generation model

we've seen so far behind Sora it creates

videos in 1080P and from my

understanding it can actually generate

videos over 1 minute long and they even

managed to tap Donald Glover to make

videos using this new Veo video model

and we'll get to see the film that he

produced using this sometime soon now

while Sora we have absolutely no clue

when they're going to make it available

Veo is actually going to start letting

people use it they actually have a

waiting list over on the AI Test Kitchen

website and apparently are going to

start letting people actually use this

one Sora who knows we may not even see

it this year in our own hands the Google

search got some upgrades as well using

AI where now they claim that Google will

do the Googling for you they gave this

example of multi-step reasoning

capabilities where they were able to ask

a question to Google like find the best

yoga or Pilates studios in Boston and

show details on their intro offers and

walking time from Beacon Hill and it

would take in that entire question SL

prompt into Google do a search and

answer all of that for you another

really cool thing they showed off was in

Gmail you'll be able to have this little

chat box and ask questions like catch me

up on emails from Maywood Park

Elementary School and it will look

through all of your emails related to

school and give you a nice recap so you

don't have to skim through tons of

emails you get it all in one place

they're also going to have that in

Google meet and pretty much the entire

Google Suite of tools are going to get

this little sidebar here they even said

later this year in Labs you can ask a

Gemini to automatically organize email

attachments in Drive generate a sheet

with the data and then analyze it for

you they also showed off ask photos

which was a really cool feature where it

knows the context of all the photos and

you can say when did my daughter learn

to swim and it would look through all

your photos and find times where she was

swimming and tell you when she learned

to swim or remind me what themes we've

had for Lena's birthday parties here are

the themes for Lena's last four

birthdays third a princess celebration

fourth Under the Sea fifth and sixth

magical unicorn parties it found all

that information by just looking at the

photos one really really interesting

moment that the crowd kind of went crazy

for was when they showed this feature

where when somebody's trying to scam you

on a phone call not in text message on

an actual phone call it will try to

detect that and warn you that you might

be getting scammed right now check this

out let's say I get rudely interrupted

by an unknown caller right in the middle

of my

presentation hello hi I'm calling from

safe Mor Bank Security Department am I

speaking to Dave uh yeah this is Dave

kind of in the middle of something we've

detected some suspicious activity on

your account it appears someone is

trying to make unauthorized charges uh

oh yeah what what kind of charges I

can't give you specifics over the phone

but to protect your account I'm going to

help you transfer your money to a secure

account we've set up for

you and look at this my phone gives me a

warning that this call might be

astounding Gemini Nano alerts me the

second it detects suspicious activity

like a bank asking me to move my money

to keep it safe and everything happens

right on my phone so the audio

processing stays completely private to

me and I my device we're currently

testing this feature and we'll have more

updates to share later this summer now

there were a ton more announcements

again I shared an article that had a

hundred different announcements it was

just announcement overload and again I

also made a whole dedicated video just

talking about the announcements and my

feelings around those announcements so

if you do want to go deeper and learn

even more about what happened at Google

IO definitely check out that video as

well I think Joshua Scala here sort of

summed up the two events well the

difference between Google and open AI

open AI demos cool stuff and I know

where to go try it Google demos 50

things with all sorts of names random

places to go use them vague release

dates and random permission walls I need

to pay apply or move country for I'm

totally lost and thus disinterested now

I don't totally agree with that I am

super interested in what Google's

releasing I think they showed off some

really really cool stuff I also met a

lot of the people that were developing

these products a lot of the product

managers and the leads on some of these

things and the people building this

stuff were really excited about it they

were really passionate about what they

were building when you go to events like

this and I did mention this in my other

video when you go to events like this

you get a better concept of the humanity

Underneath It All Google is a big sort

of faceless Corporation but you go to an

event like this and you meet all the

people building this stuff and they're

just as interested in Ai and progressing

this stuff forward and just as nerdy and

passionate and really excited about the

work they're putting in and so I know a

lot of people are rooting against Google

but then when you meet the people that

are building this stuff and they're

excited you don't want to root against

them they're building this stuff that's

really cool that they're passionate

about and Google gives them a place to

go and try this out and build it but I

do agree that Google has some issues

with the naming conventions I even

talked to one person at Google who

admitted that it's sort of an inside

joke at Google that the naming of all

this stuff is confusing and and hard to

keep track of they also do have a

tendency to make big announcements and

say it's coming soon and then take

forever to release it I mean that's just

the reality but that does not diminish

what they're showing the tech that they

showed off is really cool we just want

to get our hands on it all right let's

move on past the open Ai and Google News

because again I've talked about it a lot

in this video already and I made two

other videos about those two events

already but there was some other albeit

more minor updates from some other

companies and I'll just quickly run

through those for you now as well

starting with anthropic anthropic hired

Instagram's co-founder as its head of

product Mike creger who was one of the

co-founders at Instagram and also the

co-founder of the artifact app a news

app that used AI to help surface

relevant news for you joined anthropic

as the company's Chief product officer

it sounds like his role at the company

is to engineer good user interfaces and

user experiences to get more people

excited and talking about and use it

anthropics tools like Claud and while

we're on the topic of anthropic they

just released a new prompt generator you

can now generate production ready

prompts in anthropic console describe

what you want to achieve and Claud will

use prompt engineering techniques like

Chain of Thought reasoning to create

more effective precise and reliable

prompts so if you go to console.

anthropic dcom you can see a little menu

here including one that says generate a

prompt if we click generate a prompt we

can give it some minor information about

what we want the prompt to achieve let's

say come up with several ideas for a

YouTube title for a video recapping a

lot of news in the AI world for the past

week let's generate the prompt and see

what it comes up with and you can see it

generated a pretty in-depth prompt here

your task is to come up with several

engaging YouTube video title ideas for a

video recapping recent developments in

the world of artificial intelligence

I'll provide you with a summary of the

recent AI news and you will use that to

brainstorm title ideas here's the

summary gives me a little area to plug

in a summary here first brainstorm after

brainstorming select three top titles

remember the goals to come up with

titles that will entice people to click

Etc so it took my short one sentence

prompt and built it into a really dialed

in prompt engineer optimized prompt to

use inside of clad a few weeks ago I

talked about a new AI company called

hum. a company that actually can detect

the emotion and feelings in your voice

when you speak like whether or not

you're happy or angry or excited things

like that well Hume just released a new

tool called chatter an interactive

podcast experience and basically this is

a podcast that you can sort of steer the

direction of it's hard to explain so

I'll just show you if I click Start here

it will just kind of start telling me

the news hello welcome to chatter an

interactive News podcast the date is May

16th 2024 today's top headlines are

absolutely riveting hey I'm going to

stop you real quick instead of talking

about overall news can you share just

the interesting news from the AI world

all right let's dive into the

fascinating world of AI today there's

some thrilling news from this ever

evolving field first up Nvidia continues

to dominate the AI scene their

processors are in high demand for cloud

computing driving significant AI growth

what were the big announcements that

came out from Google and open AI this

week oh yes all right let's dive into

the latest from Google and open AI

starting with Google they've made some

roue waves at their recent Google is O

event they introduced The Gemini AI

models which are set to revolutionize

how we interact with AI these models are

designed to be more intuitive and

efficient well I think you get the idea

you can sit there and have a

conversation with it and it's like

listening to the radio but you can sort

of inject your own questions it will

stop talking and then respond to

basically what you were asking it to

respond to it's pretty cool again that's

called chatter and you can find it over

at

chat. at the end of last week this clip

kind of went viral from Whitney wolf

herd who is the founder of Bumble and

she talked about what the future of

dating could look like specifically what

was interesting was the part where she

talked about how you'll have like an AI

dating concierge and your dating

concierge will go and date other

people's AI concierge and the AI dating

each other will decide if the two real

people are compatible so check this out

if you want to get really out there

there is a world where your dating

concierge could go and date for you with

other dating concierge uh uh no no no

trly and then you don't have to talk to

600 people it will scan all of San

Francisco for you and say these are the

three people you really autom

interesting I'm not in the dating pool

so I will probably not ever experience

this but I'm pretty dang sure that is an

episode of black mirr I think I saw that

one this week we learned that meta is

exploring AI assisted earphones with

cameras now there's not a lot of news

about this this seems to be kind of

early speculation but it sounds like

they're exploring making like airpod

type earbuds that have cameras on the

little tip of the earbuds so that they

can see what's going on and you know

imagine like the rabbit or the AI pen or

even the meta Rayband glasses that you

wear well this sounds like it could have

potentially do the same thing where you

can hear everything it's telling you but

it can also see what's going on around

you maybe it'll record video maybe the

camera is just to see what's going on to

give context to the llm I don't know

there's not a lot of details about this

yet this seems to be kind of a rumored

thing but seemed interesting so I

thought I'd share and finally this is

just the beginning of event season next

week is Microsoft's build event which is

sort of the equivalent of Google IO but

Microsoft's version and Microsoft tends

to do similar to Google where they do

these events instead of a 30-minute

keynote like open AI they do a 2hour

keynote and just bombard you with

announcements so that's kind of what I'm

expecting from Microsoft also now that

we have GPT 40 we also know that

Microsoft Works really closely with open

AI Microsoft is open ai's biggest

investor I also kind of have a feeling a

lot of the announcements are going to be

this product now has GPT 40 in it this

product now has GPT 40 in it it's

probably going to be a lot of co-pilot

now works with GPT 40 co-pilot now has a

voice where you can just chat directly

with it I think we'll probably see some

of what we heard from open AI being

rolled into to a lot of Microsoft

products this is another event that I'm

going to be at so I'm going to be doing

my best to keep you informed on what I

learn at this event you'll probably see

more videos of me recording from a hotel

room but I want to learn as much as I

can meet as many people as I can at

these events and turn around and share

what I'm seeing and what I'm learning

and what I think is really cool that's

in the pipeline so that's happening next

week so next week's news will probably

be mostly dominated by Microsoft and

then in June we have a Cisco event where

they're going to be talking about Ai and

cyber security we have a Qualcomm event

where they're probably going to be

talking a lot about their Snapdragon

chips and doing more AI processing on

mobile devices and then we also have an

Apple event in June their worldwide

developer conference where they're

expected to be unveiling a whole bunch

of AI features there's a lot of events

coming up I'm going to be at most of

them I'm not going to be at the Apple

event but I'll be at the Cisco event

I'll be at the Microsoft event and I

will be at the Qualcomm event sharing

whatever I learned from all of those

events in their own respective videos so

super excited we're just getting started

the AI sort of hype time of the year is

ramping up and this is this is what I'm

here for I love this time of year I love

it when all these announcements are

coming out and I get to try new tools

and make videos and tell you about

what's coming out there is so much

you're probably going to see a lot of

more videos from me over the next couple

weeks because there's going to be a a

lot to talk about but that's what I got

for you this week again it was mostly

Google and open AI with a few other

little bits and Bobs sprinkled in there

next week it's probably going to be

mostly Microsoft I'm here for it it's

going to be exciting if you want to stay
