📚 New OpenAI Study

OpenAI's latest research, using its new GPT-4 language model and human expertise, has shed light on the potential impact of AI on the job market. 

Here's the rundown:

• Jobs most exposed: mathematicians, tax preparers, and quantitative financial analysts.

• Other highly exposed occupations: survey researchers, writers and authors, interpreters, and translators.

• Limitations of the study: subjectivity, sensitivity to prompt alterations, and potential omission of specific skills or tasks

While the study isn't a crystal ball, it does reveal that a staggering 80% of the workforce could see at least 10% of their tasks impacted by GPTs. And for 19% of workers, a whopping 50% of their functions could be affected.

Our advice: Learn to harness and embrace AI. Keep an open mind, stay curious, and be ready to learn new skills as the rapidly-changing world of AI and technology reshapes the job landscape.

💸 Character AI raises $150 Million

AI chatbot startup Character.ai just reached a whopping $1 billion market cap, thanks to a new $150 million investment from Andreessen Horowitz, despite not generating ANY revenue.

Character.AI, founded by two ex-Googlers, hosts various AI-powered personalities that users can interact with through text. You can also:

• Chat with AI celebs such as Tony Stark or Saul Goodman

• Create your own AI companion to chat and hang out and interact with

• Get a productivity boost, life advice, and even a bit of entertainment

The app is currently free, but the company has its eyes set on a subscription model and is flirting with an ad model.

Regardless of how fun Character.AI might be, raising $150 million without generating revenue is no joke, and it's clear that Silicon Valley can't resist the allure of AI.

🎓 Stanford Students Create RizzGPT

Three students named Bryan, Alix, and Varun from Stanford University combined GPT-4, Whisper, and augmented reality glasses to create RizzGPT. 

RizzGPT listens in real-time conversations and guides you on what to say next. They're calling it Charisma as a Service (CAAS for short).

It uses:

• Whisper to transcribe live audio from conversations

• GPT-4 to come up with a response

• Monocle AR glasses to display the response live in the glasses

While it's probably best to keep human interaction at just that, this fun experiment showcases the combined power of AI and AR technology. It will be exciting to see future technologies emerging from this sector.
