“One appeal of generative A.I. is that it offers something for every would-be entrepreneur.” Yes, it is nice to see the hype machine in full effect, isn’t it? Here’s a sentence we should revisit in a year: “And unlike crypto, especially now, A.I. is a more credible field to be in for mainstream techies.” Anyway, every single one of these children would have gone to work on Wall Street before the year of our lord 2008.

The system is only in use at two warehouses right now, with plans to be rolled out at 10 more in North America and Europe, according to The Wall Street Journal. But Amazon apparently believes that the technology could be a major part of its warehouses in the future — which could lead to further automation and more concerns from some of its already unhappy warehouse workers.

You are never gonna guess what happened.

The Paragraphica camera makes photos, but not in the way you’re used to. Designer Bjørn Karmann rigged the experimental device so that when you hit the shutter, it collects information about where you are, the current conditions, and what you’re looking at — and then feeds that to an AI image generator, which creates a picture for you.

Still, understanding the limitations of generative AI tools — despite the hype — is as important as anything else right now.

Microsoft announced the Intelligent Recap feature for Microsoft Teams Premium back in October last year, and now it’s available in the US (EU gets it in August).

News coverage of AI chatbots is inescapable — and it has echoes of how crypto was covered at its peak.

Nvidia just announced its DGX GH200 at Computex. It’s got 256 of its new “Grace Hopper Superchips” for an exaflop of AI performance — and contains 150 miles of optical fiber and over 2,000 fans. Google, Meta, and Microsoft will be “evaluating” it, though not necessarily purchasing kits: they tend to build their own compute clouds, even if they contain loads of Nvidia GPUs.
