AI ON MY MIND

Happy Thursday!

Intel just dropped some news about AI-powered PCs.

These aren't your typical computers.

They're designed to handle AI tasks right on your desktop.

This got me thinking about how our daily tech tools are changing.

Remember when spell-check felt cutting-edge?

Now, we're looking at PCs that might help us create videos or write code.

But here's the real question:

How will this change our work?

Will it make us more productive, or just add to our screen time?

As someone who spends hours at a computer, I'm both excited and cautious.

These AI PCs could help us work smarter, but they also raise questions about data privacy and the need for new skills.

What's your take? Are you ready to welcome an AI assistant to your desktop?

Or do you prefer to keep things simple? W

hatever your stance, it's clear that the lines between human and machine intelligence are blurring.

TODAY’S TOP STORIES

💻   OpenAI Releases GPT-4.5 as a 'Research Preview'

OpenAI has unveiled GPT-4.5, their largest and most efficient large language model to date, as a research preview. This new iteration boasts a tenfold increase in computational efficiency compared to its predecessor, GPT-4. Initially available to select paying Pro users, OpenAI plans to expand access in the coming weeks.

  • GPT-4.5 is not a frontier model but focuses on improved efficiency and general-purpose capabilities.

  • The model excels in writing, programming, and solving practical problems.

  • It maintains similar capabilities to previous models without introducing net-new frontier features.

My Opinion: I mean this is cool, but ChatGPT 5 would have been cooler. Not to mention 4.5 is EXTREMELY expensive.

Nonetheless, it’s been a crazy week for new AI upgrades. First 3.7 sonnet, now GPT 4.5.

This innovative tool leverages a diverse array of over 100 text, image, video, and audio models, allowing users to build sophisticated AI applications without the need for coding expertise.

  • Poe Apps utilizes the App Creator tool, powered by the advanced Claude 3.7 Sonnet model.

  • Users can create visual interfaces for their apps without writing code.

  • The platform uses existing user points, avoiding high API costs and potential downtime.

My Opinion: Tbh, I used Poe, like once. However, I know alot of people who do use it so it seems this is a decent update for that ecosystem.
