Greetings,

In the AI world, sometimes all it takes to fix something is to add one to the denominator of an equation. But some of the biggest challenges ahead are not mathematical, they’re social, and we all get to play a part in deciding how AI will impact humanity in the long term.

• Statistics engineer Evan Miller makes the case that the fundamental equation of modern AI has a flaw that makes it hard to compress and deploy models – his proposed solution is to just add one in the denominator. - Evan Miller
  
  
• AI expert Ethan Mollick shares his view that both corporate and educational solutions to the proliferation of AI are not enough – society needs to get this right, and we all play a part in making sure AI helps humanity prosper. - OneUsefulThing
  
  
• GPT-4 scores 4.2 points higher than the average student on open-ended, complicated clinical questions – a sign that AI is disrupting medical education and practice, and will be incorporated into everyday medicine in a matter of years. - Stanford
  
  
• ML expert Will Thompson summarizes key milestones that led to LLMs, concluding that LLMs are best described as ‘reasoning agents’ and that, despite claims in the media, prompt engineering isn’t likely to become a high-paid job. - Will Thompson
  
  
• The seven biggest AI players are pledging before the White House to uphold seven commitments – like building ways to identify AI-generated content, or allowing third parties to look for vulnerabilities in their systems. - CNBC
  
  
• It seems impossible to detect whether something was written by AI – even OpenAI can’t get it to work, which is why they quietly removed their AI Classifier tool due to “its low rate of accuracy.” - Decrypt
  
  
• If you find yourself wanting to use ChatGPT all the time, Finito might be for you – instead of having to visit the website every time, Finito brings the ChatGPT API to help you inside any app you’re using (macOS only). - Finito
