To celebrate, I'll be getting stabbed 23 times at the end of this video. A-2-L-I-N-U? OpenAI has officially announced the sequel to GPT-3. GPT-360. No, wait, Series X, no, sorry, GPT-4, which they claim is more powerful, more creative, and more reliable. It can also pass professional benchmarks like the LSAT and BAR exam within the 88th percentile or higher, meaning that it's better than ever at fulfilling parents' dreams. Early experimenters have managed to use GPT-4 to quickly recreate the classic game pong and to turn a simple sketch on an appkin into a functioning website. I always have trouble with that. The new model is also supposedly less prone to hallucination, which is interesting, because shortly after it was unveiled, Microsoft announced that the new Bing has apparently been running on GPT-4 the whole time. Bing, while certainly powerful and creative, is not necessarily what most people would describe as reliable and non-hallucinogenic, but hey, it's from Microsoft, so what do you expect? But this hasn't dampened Microsoft's confidence. They apparently think the model is so good that it won't need humans to help it figure out ethics because the company eliminated their entire ethics and society team from their Office of Responsible AI, which I assume means that they have solved all the ethical problems related to AI and it's gonna be smooth sailing from here on out, nothing could possibly go wrong. We got an AI for that. Ever since Meta's open source GPT-3 level large language model, Oama, had its training date leaked last month, developers have been figuring out new and innovative ways to run it on just about everything. First on a Mac, then on Windows, then on a Pixel 6, and even a Raspberry Pi, just like what you would do with real llamas, right? Giddy up. One of the key strengths of Lama is that it was designed to run with a single GPU. And while it may chug like a cement smoothie on something like a Raspberry Pi, it does successfully, well, not meet that run, but walk anyway. Like a llama. Now, to be clear, this is still Meta's IP and its terms of service do still apply. But sooner rather than later, we're going to see the first hyper-individualized pocket AI, which is great news because I've been looking for a way to make using a graphing calculator far more interesting. Now it can graph columns. Insulting. Back when Windows 11 launched, users rioted when they discovered that the new streamlined taskbar had lost much of the functionality that it enjoyed back with Windows 10. It can't be moved to the top or the side of the screen. Separate iterations of the same program would stack and couldn't be separated like those Lego bricks that my daughter glued together. This has popularized mods intending to reinstate that functionality. However, early previews into the newest version of Windows 11 seem to indicate that Microsoft will be giving us one of those little orange tools for our yelling. Like a little spudgy thing. And we could see a return of the never combine option. Nice. While they're at it, by the way, they might want to fix their VBS settings. There was concern at launch that Windows 11's VBS and HVCI default might affect performance and they do.
