TRENDING STORY

👀 Nike’s new AI model…

Nike is developing a generative AI model to design products using its extensive athlete performance data. It aims to take advantage of its exclusive datasets and create a "private garden" of AI capabilities.

The company is exploring integrating this AI technology into its design process, including rapidly prototyping shoes for top athletes.

📫️ The details:

• Nike's AI model is being built in-house to leverage the company's exclusive datasets on athlete performance, lab data, and other proprietary information.

• The AI model will generate design concepts and prototypes for Nike's elite sports products, including shoes for top athletes like Sha'Carri Richardson and Kylian Mbappé.

• Nike is seeking to balance using its private data and incorporating some public data sources while ensuring the entire system remains contained within the company.

🧠 Our thoughts:

This move by Nike makes sense. They have the resources and data to support training their own model.

Plus, they are positioning themselves to gain a competitive advantage through exclusive access to athlete data and the ability to ideate and prototype new products rapidly.

However, the company will need to carefully navigate the ethical considerations around AI, ensuring fairness and transparency, especially regarding elite athlete performance.

Overall, this signals Nike's commitment to driving innovation in the sportswear industry by strategically applying emerging technologies.

⛔️ Stack Overflow, is facing backlash from users after announcing a partnership with OpenAI to use forum posts to train ChatGPT. Many users are deleting or editing their posts to prevent them from being used to train the AI, leading to bans from Stack Overflow moderators. The incident highlights the tensions between user privacy/ownership and the commercial interests of tech platforms.

👀 Rumor has it that OpenAI is soon introducing the 'connected apps' feature in ChatGPT. This feature will enable you to connect to Google Drive and OneDrive and add files and processes.

🇺🇸 The US government has invested $285 million in developing AI-powered chips, aiming to bolster its domestic chip manufacturing capabilities and reduce reliance on foreign technology.

TUTORIAL

✨ How To Create A Chrome Extension Using AI

The number one thing we love about AI is its ability to create anything.

Case in point: This past week, we needed a Chrome extension for a task we did manually.

So we decided to build it ourselves.

It took 40 minutes to create with AI.

Lucky for you, we filmed the entire thing for your viewing pleasure.

QUICK TIP

AI QUICK TIP

✨ Gardening vs Sculpting

We heard something during our AI learning hour the other day and want to pass it on to you. It goes like this:

Initially, we're like gardeners.

We prepare the "soil" by ensuring data quality and diversity, setting a solid foundation for AI's learning akin to planting seeds in well-tended ground.

These are your examples, constraints, formatting, structuring, and desires clearly defined.

As the AI or prompts mature, we shift roles to sculptors—chiseling away inaccuracies and refining capabilities to match exacting standards, fine-tuning our AI or prompts to perform as intended.

It's a dynamic shift from the broad strokes of gardening to the precision of sculpting.

The key is knowing when to switch hats.

If you want to become a better AI user, you need to know when to be the Gardner and when to be the Sculptor.

AI ON SOCIAL

FROM THE WEB

✨  $190k/mo from AI Tinder Helper App?

This is wild. There’s an AI dating assistant that is making $190,000 per month.

But get this…

ChatGPT powers it!

We find it hard to believe that people need help that much when it comes to dating…but I guess the stats prove otherwise.

Recent studies have shown a troubling trend: people from all walks of life are experiencing less physical intimacy and forming fewer romantic connections than before. Much of this seems tied to how much time we spend on dating apps and social media.

Even before COVID-19 turned the world upside down in 2019, about 61% of US adults felt pretty lonely. Fast-forward to 2023, and 24% of people aged 15 and up—from a whopping 142 countries—are reporting that they feel either very or fairly lonely.

It’s even tougher for the younger crowd. Among those aged 19 to 29, 27% are feeling isolated. That’s a lot of lonely hearts out there.

These numbers really paint a picture of why there’s such a high demand for services that help people feel connected. They also explain why AI-driven dating assistants are becoming a big deal. They’re not just about technology but about making real human connections.

Given how successful these AI tools have been, especially in the dating scene, it looks like we’re only going to see more of these innovations. They’re setting the stage to reshape how we interact and connect, aiming to tackle this global loneliness epidemic head-on.
