Hey, peeps! It's Saturday, ya feel? Why not groove with »» Muzify «« This is The Token Dispatch. Catch us on Telegram, rock on 🤟

Generative AI is back in the spotlight, causing world leaders to engage in some serious chit-chat about its potential dangers. The big guns at the United Nations, including Secretary-General António Guterres, have joined the chorus demanding some regulation for this tech 🔥💬

During a press conference, Guterres didn't mince his words, shouting from the rooftops about the alarming nature of generative AI.

Guess who's raising the biggest ruckus about it? Yup, the very folks who built the darn thing 😱🛠️

On the same day, the UN dropped a report titled "Information Integrity on Digital Platforms," giving us all a reality check on responsible AI use. They even threw in a warning about the dark side of deep fakes wreaking havoc in conflict zones. Yikes ⚠️🌐

Gueterres said, "The proliferation of hate and lies in the digital space is causing grave global harm now." “It is fuelling conflict, death, and destruction now. It is threatening democracy and human rights now. It is undermining public health and climate action, now."

AI Armageddon

But hold up, is AI really on par with nukes when it comes to threat levels? It's a valid question since advancements in all AI fields seem to be happening simultaneously. Luckily, we haven't blown ourselves to smithereens with nukes (thank goodness for that!), so maybe AI development ain't all doom and gloom 💣🤖

Speaking of regulations, the United Kingdom plans to host a global summit on AI safety later this year. And if you take a gander at the surveys, it seems around 60% of the public is all aboard the regulation train. So, it looks like we might be getting some shiny new guardrails for this AI rollercoaster ride 🌍🚀

Oh, and there's this meme floating around, equating AI tech to a full-blown existential threat like nuclear weapons. Just imagine, a 23-word warning from the Center of AI Safety, signed by hundreds of scientists. It's got folks pondering the magnitude of this AI beast 🤔💥

Mind-blowing AI expansion

We've witnessed a mind-blowing AI explosion in the past year or so. It's like fireworks on steroids! AI has levelled up in text generation, video magic, song creation, photo sorcery, voice cloning, and even those jaw-dropping one-click deep fakes. It's like a wild party where every room has its own DJ.

But here's the burning question: Why did all these mind-bending advancements happen at once? Well, brace yourself, 'cause the genius Aza Raskin, the co-founder of the Earth Species Project, spilled the tea in his piece called "The AI Dilemma." And let me tell you, his explanation is as clear as crystal.

He broke it down like this: "The sort of insight was that you can start to treat absolutely everything as language.""So, you can take, for instance, images. You can just treat it as a kind of language, it’s just a set of image patches that you can arrange in a linear fashion, and then you just predict what comes next." 🤯🔥🔮

So, the AI party ain't just rockin' in one room—it's rockin' all over the place! From text to video, photos to tunes, AI's got it covered. It's like the ultimate language wizardry, making magic happen in every corner of the digital realm. Ain't that something? 🎉💥🌌

TTD AI regulation ➗

The Euro Crew Drops the Mic with "World's First-Ever AI Rulebook"! The European Parliament just dropped the EU AI Act bombshell, y'all! They've put together this big-time legislative framework to keep an eye on all them artificial intelligence technologies in the European Union. Talk about keeping things in check💥🇪🇺

During the Parliament's vote on June 14, the act got some serious love. We're talking 499 votes for, 28 against, and 93 folks deciding to sit this one out. It's safe to say this act has got the majority support 🗳️✅

But hold up, across the pond in the land of stars and stripes, Senators Josh Hawley (Republican from Missouri) and Richard Blumenthal (Democrat from Connecticut) decided to shake things up. On the same day, they dropped a Senate bill that aims to strip away them special protections currently given to AI companies under the Communications Decency Act of 1996. It's like they're trying to stir the pot and level the playing field 🌊🤝🗽

Now, get this: McKinsey & Co., the big guns in management consulting, just released a report that'll make your head spin. They're saying that in just 22 years, generative AI might take over a whopping 50% of all the work we do today! Yeah, you heard that right—half the work! Decision-making, management, dealing with stakeholders—AI's gonna be the MVP 🤖💼💪

And that ain't all. McKinsey's got more predictions up their sleeves. They reckon that a whopping 75% of the value created by generative AI will come from customer service operations, marketing and sales, software engineering, and the brainiacs in research and development. That's where the real magic's gonna happen 🎩✨💰

The EU's got their AI Act on lockdown, the Senators are making waves in the US, and McKinsey's peering into the crystal ball of AI's future domination. It's a wild ride, and we're all just along for the journey 🚀🌎🔮

TTD AI numbers 🔢

McKinsey, the big bosses in management consulting, just dropped a report that's got jaws droppin' and heads spinnin'. 📈🔥

They're sayin' these game-changin' apps like ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion are takin' over the scene. It's like a revolution, man! And get this: McKinsey claims this transformative tech has the potential to add a mind-bogglin' $4.4 trillion to the global economy EACH year. Yeah, you heard it right, TRILLIONS! That's like 15 to 40 percent of the entire economic impact of AI as a whole. Talk about makin' it rain! 💰💥💼

The report states, "Generative AI could add the equivalent of $2.6 trillion to $4.4 trillion annually across the 63 use cases we analysed."

TTD AI Chip 💠

AMD just dropped a bomb on the AI scene with their all-new MI300X AI Accelerator chip, and they're takin' on the reigning champ, NVIDIA's H100. It's a face-off of epic proportions, as AMD aims to snatch the crown and shake up the AI game 💥🎮

This bad boy is tailor-made for AI tasks, designed with all the bells and whistles to tackle those heavy-duty models like LLMs. And get this—AMD ain't playin' around when it comes to memory. They've loaded up the MI300X with a whopping 192GB of RAM, makin' it the perfect choice for handling those massive models with ease. Talk about goin' big or goin' home 🚀💻

But why is memory such a big deal, you ask? Well, when it comes to AI training, you need some serious computational power, but you also gotta have enough vRAM to store all that juicy information during those intense training sessions. That's where AMD's strategic move comes into play, givin' 'em an edge over those gaming GPUs that might be great for crypto mining but fall short in the AI department. They know what's up 💪💡

And wait, there's more! The MI300X's underlying architecture has been meticulously crafted to handle generative AI workloads like a boss. AMD CEO Lisa Su ain't holdin' back, sayin' that this powerhouse chip can easily handle the latest and greatest models with its beastly 192GB of HBM3 (high-bandwidth memory).

They're takin' generative AI to a whole new level, y'all 🔥🔬💥

TTD AI game 🎮

We got some spicy news for ya! Cyan Worlds, the OG developers behind the legendary games Myst and Riven, are stirrin' up controversy with their new game Firmament. 🎮😮

So here's the deal: they decided to dip their toes into the world of AI and used some AI-based tools to develop the game. And man, the gaming community is split like a glitchy NPC! 😱🔄

According to the peeps at Kotaku, blogger Gregory Avery-Weir was the first to spot this AI shindig. After playin' the game and checkin' out the credits, he noticed somethin' fishy—no recognition for the characters' voice acting. But just when he thought it was a total snub, boom! An "AI Assisted Content" category pops up in the credits roll. 🎬🤖🎙️

Under that banner, Cyan Worlds spilled the beans and listed all the stuff that got a lil' AI boost in the game. We're talkin' journals, logs, stories, songs, poems—the whole shebang! They even mention voice acting, which got the community buzzin'. It's like the AI had a hand in every aspect of the game, even the in-game wallpaper! 📜🔊🎵🖼️

Now, this revelation has got gamers feelin' some type of way. Some are stoked about the innovative use of AI, seein' it as a fresh approach to game development. Others, though, are straight-up upset. They're claimin' it takes away from the authenticity and human touch of the gaming experience.
