OpenAI's API & Function Update, Microsoft Guidance, Andromeda Cluster, Meta Open Source | E19

The future is rushing at us like a freight train - will AI crush our dreams by 2043 or give us indefinite life extension? Explore the tangled web of AI hype, loneliness, and alcoholism with your hosts as they dive deep into OpenAI's latest updates, Zuck's vision for chatbots gone wild, and whether Big Tech's sudden pivot to "openness" is too little too late.  From Microsoft's "Guidance" to steering GPT-3.5, fall down the rabbit hole of what's really going on behind the scenes—where are we headed and how soon will robots replace that guy in accounts payable (spoiler: probably not as soon as he thinks!). An epic voyage to the outer reaches of speculation that will leave you equal parts informed, entertained and possibly needing a stiff drink.Try MusicGen here: https://huggingface.co/spaces/facebook/MusicGenIf you like this podcast please considering subscribing to the channel, liking and leaving a comment.
