Welcome to our weekly roundup of reports about human-made AI.
This week, AI made game creation a breeze.
An AI music scam raised $10 million.
And OpenAI finally gives us a taste of Strawberry.
Let's start.
Finally
After rumors, whispers, and bizarre posts on X about Strawberries, OpenAI has finally released a brand new product. OpenAI has released recent advanced reasoning models called the “o1” series.
From our initial testing and the demo videos, it appears to be significantly higher at considering tasks than GPT-4o. It takes time to think before it responds, nevertheless it's definitely worth the wait. We stay up for seeing how this translates into the benchmarks.
Is Sora or the voice assistant next?
AI games
Is the video game industry on the verge of an AI renaissance? Generative AI is shaking up the industry, with recent developments emerging each day. There is sweet news and bad news for gamers and developers alike.
Gaming platform FRVR AI has taken one other major step in its mission to democratize game development and distribution. It has partnered with GenreX to enable game developers to compose music via AI.
Thanks to artificial intelligence, anyone with an idea for a game could make it occur. However, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for artists within the fields of music, voice acting and graphics to justify their services.
My 8-year-old son created a Three.js site with no programming experience
He used Claude AI and let Cursor apply all of the code for him. He actually created several projects including two platform games, a drawing app, an animation app, and an AI chat app. He spent about 2 hours on each of them. I just helped him… pic.twitter.com/R1Eu5L9qqA
A secure bet
Apparently, there’s good money to be made in securing artificial intelligence. Ilya Sutskever's Safe Superintelligence (SSI) raised one billion dollars in capital, giving his startup a valuation of 5 billion dollars.
SSI has no product and only 10 employees. What will Ilya do with all that cash?
On the opposite hand, AI also helps scammers become profitable. The FBI has uncovered a $10 million AI music streaming scam run by a North Carolina “musician.” The scam was elegantly easy and is more likely to be replicated elsewhere.
Oops, my mistake
If you saw your NVIDIA stock price plummet on Friday, it may need had something to do with a questionable report from Goldman Sachs claiming ChatGPT user numbers had plummeted.
The reason for the error is definitely quite funny. However, shareholders of AI technology are probably not laughing.
Over the last week, now we have seen a growing excitement a few recent open source model that appeared to be sweeping the perfect LLMs off the benchmark leaderboards. Reflection 70B looked too good to be true.
And now it looks like “essentially the most powerful open source LLM” is either a hoax or a giant misunderstanding.
iPhone 16 and the wait for AI
Apple introduced its recent iPhone 16 and its “Apple Intelligence' AI features on the Glowtime event this week.
The recent features look cool, and we are able to't wait to check out the improved Siri. If the prospect of Apple Intelligence has you interested by upgrading your phone, it is advisable to hold off.
The iPhone 16 might be Apple's first AI-enabled phone, but there's a catch.

Step on the brakes
Governments are desperately attempting to shape laws to maintain pace with AI and the risks it poses. The world now has its first international AI treaty that brings the technology into line with human rights, democracy and law.
The first countries have already registered, but now we have to attend and see who refuses and whether it makes any difference in any respect.
Do you want the way in which Google and other AI-powered platforms provide you with fast answers to your questions? Not everyone seems to be thrilled. A bunch of U.S. senators have called on the FTC and DOJ to analyze AI summarizers for antitrust violations.
AI Events
If you should attend an in-person AI event, you'll be spoiled for selection next month. The AIAI Boston 2024 event will feature three parallel summits focused on cutting-edge AI. You can attend the Chief AI Officer, Generative AI, and Computer Vision summits multi functional place.
More news…
Here are another click-worthy AI stories we enjoyed this week:
OpenAI hasn't released Sora yet, but they keep making us curious with recent videos like this one.
OpenAI Sora recent showcase video has appeared on YT. It was created by Singaporean artist Niceaunties. pic.twitter.com/VjvjzkReXM
And that was it.
Do you think that games created by AI could ever be pretty much as good as those made by humans? I think there are just a few people on the market with great ideas but no programming skills who might surprise us.
I would really like to know what Ilya Sutskever plans to do together with his newfound money. Will he be the primary to create a secure AGI, or the primary to search out out that there isn’t any such thing as a secure superintelligence?
Let us know what you think that, follow us on X, and send us links to chill AI stuff we may need missed.
