Entire South Park Episode created using AI
TLDR: The simulation avoids the blank page problem for both a user and a large language model. Even experienced writers can sometimes feel overwhelmed when asked to come up with a title or story idea without any prior incubation of related material. The simulation provides context and data points before starting the creative prompt chain. The story generation process in our approach is a shared responsibility between the simulation, the user, and GPT-4. Each has strengths and weaknesses and a unique role to play depending on how much we want to involve them in the overall creative process. It's a symbiotic process where the strengths of each participant contribute to a coherent, engaging story. A TV show does not just come into existence and is made up of the final dialogue lines and set descriptions as seen by the audience. With the Simulation, the approach gathers data continuously from both the user's input and the simulated agents. Over time, this feedback loop of interacting with and fine-tuning the SHOW-1 model can lead to new interpretations of existing shows.
Early stage B2B product management
I work at an early stage B2B fintech startup as a lead engineer and very often have to wear a product hat. Revenue is our most important business metric and user adoption is our most important product KPI. (a) I've been struggling to identify new features to build that will enhance our product and lead to a lift in revenue. (b) Even when a problem is served on a platter by our B2B clients, I'm struggling to identify the best way to build a feature to solve that problem in a way that's coherent with our existing product. (c) I am okayish at designing delightful user experiences but want to do way better here for our B2B clients' users. I'm willing to work very hard and improve in these aspects (I've done that before and achieved great success in other domains). What would you recommend I do? What should I learn? How should I approach this journey?
MIT Study Debunks AI Value Systems
- A viral study claimed that sophisticated AI could develop its own value systems, prioritizing its well-being over humans. - A new MIT paper refutes this, concluding that AI doesn't possess coherent values. - The study suggests aligning AI systems may be more challenging than assumed, as AI often hallucinates and imitates. - Researchers found AI models from companies like Meta, Google, and OpenAI to be inconsistent and unstable in their preferences. - Experts agree that attributing stable values to AI is a misunderstanding, highlighting the unpredictability of AI behavior.
