The Modern Prometheus is a bit too modern to have solely created science fiction, although it did revolutionize it.
Microsoft today announced that its new AI-enabled Bing will now allow users to generate images with Bing Chat. This new feature is powered by DALL-E, OpenAI’s generative image generator. The company didn’t say which version of DALL-E it is using here, except for saying that it is using the “very latest DALL-E models.”
Dubbed the “Bing Image Creator,” this new capability is now (slowly) rolling out to users in the Bing preview and will only be available through Bing’s Creative Mode. It’ll come to Bing’s Balanced and Precise modes in the future. The new image generator will also be available in the Edge sidebar.
They have also released the tools needed for people to train their own AI.
Researchers at Stanford’s Center for Research on Foundation Models (CRFM) have unveiled an artificial intelligence (AI) model that works much like the famous ChatGPT but cost them only $600 to train. The researchers said that they hadn’t optimized their process and future models could be trained for lesser.
Until OpenAI’s ChatGPT was launched to the public in November last year, Large Language Models (LLMs) were largely a topic of discussion among AI researchers. The company has spent millions of dollars training them and making sure that they provided responses to human queries in the way another human would respond.
Summary: While scores for verbal reasoning and matrix reasoning have decreased, scores for spatial reasoning have improved, researchers report.

IQ scores have substantially increased from 1932 through the 20th century, with differences ranging from three to five IQ points per decade, according to a phenomenon known as the “Flynn effect.”
Last week saw a plethora of new advances in AI, including the much-anticipated release of GPT-4.
Rarely, if ever, has more progress been witnessed in AI than what we are currently seeing. This is clearly an exceptional time for the field, with much hype and speculation around what the near future may bring.
Differences in the way that the Hubble constant—which measures the rate of cosmic expansion—are measured have profound implications for the future of cosmology.
Located in southeastern Turkey, Göbekli Tepe is an archaeological site that has been dubbed the “Dawn of Civilization.” It is considered to be one of the most important archaeological discoveries of the 21st century, offering a glimpse into the lives of our ancient ancestors and the birth of human civilization.
Plants emit weak electric signals. Researchers have developed a device to read and send signals back — a type of “plant communication.”
