howdy, welcome to our latest newsletter
Today, we will look into AI detecting people’s emotions from mainstream social media, OpenAI's new secret, META’s other tools, and more.
So let’s begin my folks.
AI DETECTION

The Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has invested millions in AI to detect sentiments and emotions from online posts, as per documents acquired by 404 Media.
🤔 What it does:
Utilizes artificial intelligence to detect and analyze sentiments and emotions from Reddit, Facebook, and X.
Charts emotions over time, capturing feelings like "anger," "fear," "joy," "disgust," "sadness," and "surprise."
Targets individuals that the CBP believes might pose threats to public safety.
Has the capability to recognize objects in images and videos.
💸 Spending:
CBP's payments for this software have run into millions, with an expenditure of almost $1.17 million in September 2022 alone.
Durable is the AI website builder that makes starting a business easier than having a job.
Generate a fully customizable website in 30 seconds with AI. Then, use powerful AI tools to drive traffic and get paid. No coding, WordPress, or marketing skills are required.
AI BOOM

Nvidia recently reported a staggering 101% year-over-year growth, with quarterly earnings of $13.5 billion, surpassing their $11 billion guidance.
🔍 What's behind the surge?
This growth is primarily attributed to the high demand for their GPU chips used in large language models and other AI tasks. The company's data center compute revenue has almost tripled due to increasing cloud demand, particularly for Nvidia's HGX platform.
📣 Big Bold Plans
Nvidia is preparing to triple the production of a $40,000 processor powering the generative AI revolution as the threat of shortages weighs on the ambitions of companies seeking to capitalize on the AI boom.
META

Meta introduced SeamlessM4T, an all-encompassing AI translation model supporting nearly 100 different languages.
💪 Unveiling the Power:
This model can handle tasks like:
Speech-to-Text: From Voice to Words
Speech-to-Speech: Bridging Conversations Across Languages
Text-to-Speech: Turning Text into Global Narratives
Text-to-Text: Crafting Perfect Translations Every Time
SeamlessM4T is available under a research license, but anyone can test its capability by using a browser demo. Users record a sentence, choose up to three translation languages, and then receive both text and audio translations.
OPEN AI

OpenAI's ChatGPT, along with other Chatbots from major companies like Google, Meta, and Microsoft, has been trained on vast amounts of online data, which includes copyrighted books. This has led to lawsuits, as these companies did not acquire licensing rights for such content.
📜 Research Reveal:
A new research paper has shown that OpenAI's ChatGPT has been modified to avoid producing outputs that match copyrighted content verbatim. Techniques appear to have been implemented in ChatGPT to detect and disrupt attempts to extract copyrighted material.
