Elon Musk says Twitter will provide a free write-only API to bots providing ‘good’ content

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, policy, robotics/AI

Last week, Twitter said it is shutting down free access to its APIs starting February 9. Now, days before the deadline, Elon Musk said that after getting feedback from developers, Twitter will provide a write-only API for “bots providing good content that is free.”

This decision is as opaque as some of the other policy decisions under Musk’s management. There is no information on what constitutes “good content” and who will decide that. However, if Twitter ends up implementing this rule, some bots will get a new lifeline on the social network.

Previously, Twitter shuttered API access to third-party clients saying they broke a “long-standing rule” without any specification. Then the company silently updated its developer terms to reflect that app can’t “use or access the Licensed Materials to create or attempt to create a substitute or similar service or product to the Twitter Applications.”

Amazon CEO says ChatGPT is ‘exciting,’ but that Amazon has been working on similar tech for a long time

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Amazon’s CEO Andy Jassy chimed in on the conversation about generative AI and ChatGPT in an interview with the Financial Times, published on Monday.

“I think it’s exciting, what’s possible with generative AI,” Jassy told the FT. “And it’s part of what you’re seeing with models like ChatGPT. But most large, deeply technical companies like ours, have been working on these very large, generative AI models themselves for a long time.”

While Amazon already has AI and machine learning technology in place — like Alexa, its voice assistant, and CodeWhisperer, a code recommendation generator — company supporters are concerned that the tech giant is falling behind in the generative AI department, per the FT.

Google employees criticize CEO for “dumpster fire” response to ChatGPT

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

When Google’s ChatGPT competitor event was announced for last week, we wrote that it seemed like a rush job designed to reassure investors, and since then, that event happened and went worse than anyone could have imagined. Google’s event did the opposite of what it wanted, with the stock down nearly 12 percent since the recent high just before the event. Even Google employees are starting to take notice, with CNBC’s Jennifer Elias writing that, internally, employees are criticizing CEO Sundar Pichai for what they call a ‘rushed, botched’ announcement of Google’s new chatbot.

CNBC says it was able to view several messages from Google’s internal “Memegen” employee forum, and while these are normally lighthearted, the report says “the posts after the Bard announcement struck a more serious tone and even went directly after Pichai.”

Google AI generates musical backing tracks to accompany singers

Posted by in categories: information science, media & arts, robotics/AI

Google has trained an artificial intelligence, named SingSong, that can generate a musical backing track to accompany people’s recorded singing.

To develop it, Jesse Engel and his colleagues at Google Research used an algorithm to separate the instrumental and vocal parts from 46,000 hours of music and then fine-tuned an existing AI model – also created by Google Research, but for generating speech and piano music – on those pairs of recordings.

Google’s CEO Tells Staff to Spend Hours Working Out ‘Bard’ AI Kinks

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Business Insider reported based on a leaked company-wide email that Google is asking all of its employees to take two to four hours of their day to test Google’s “Bard” AI, the same system the company plans to integrate into its chat function. It’s unclear if all Googlers over the world have received the same ask. The company recently announced 12,000 job cuts to its global workforce, but Google, without its parent company Alphabet, still employs over 170,000 around the world.

In that memo, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said he would “appreciate” if all staff “contributed in a deeper way” and take two to four hours to pressure test Bard. Anybody who’s ever read a “suggestion” email from their boss knows that it’s more of a mandate than anything else. It’s unclear based on the email text if the two-to-four hour suggestion would be asked of them every day or spread over a longer period of time.
