Worldcoin by OpenAI’s CEO will confirm your humanity
OpenAI’s Sam Altman has launched a new crypto project called Worldcoin. It consists of a privacy-preserving digital identity (World ID) and, where laws allow, a digital currency (WLD) received simply for being human.
You will receive the World ID after visiting an Orb, a biometric verification device. The Orb devices verify human identity by scanning people's eyes, which Altman suggests is necessary due to the growing threat posed by AI.
Why does this matter?
Worldcoin proves who’s human in a world filled with AI.
Today, “proof of personhood” is a missing and necessary digital primitive. It becomes more critical as increasingly powerful AI models become available. If successful, Worldcoin will be a scalable, reliable solution for distinguishing humans from AI online while preserving privacy.
RunwayML's new AI update brings images to life; no prompts
RunwayML Gen-2's new picture-to-motion update improves video generation using only images as input. No text prompt is needed. It is now available in the browser and is coming soon to iOS. Here are some examples from Twitter (or X).
Why does this matter?
AI is again redefining the possible. While this update suggests a step forward in improving user experience, removing the text prompt requirement also indicates improvements in the base-lying AI model itself.
FABRIC personalizes diffusion models with iterative feedback
Meet FABRIC, a training-free method for using iterative feedback to improve the results of Stable Diffusion models. Instead of spending hours to find the right prompt, just click 👍/👎 to tell the model what exactly you want.
This out-of-the-box approach is applicable to a wide range of popular diffusion models. It exploits the self-attention layer present in the most widely used architectures to condition the diffusion process on a set of feedback images (pushing generation towards👍 and away from👎).
Why does this matter?
Since visual content generation is increasingly driven by AI, integrating human feedback into generative models seems crucial for enhancing user experience and output quality. This method adds one more strategy to incorporate iterative human feedback into the generative process of AI models.
Knowledge Nugget: GPT Prompt Compression: A cheap and simple solution
The biggest limit on using GPT is its context window, which is the maximum number of tokens (words or word pieces) it can process in a single pass. Working with a small context window can be challenging when you want to input large amounts of text.
One way to overcome this issue can be by compressing your prompts. This article by
explores how you can compress your prompt without sacrificing too much information, enabling you to better use GPT's capabilities and feed more data into the model. It deep dives into the concepts of tokens and character limits to help you make the best out of ChatGPT, Bing, or other OpenAI APIs you use.Why does this matter?
Another way to overcome the above issue is to apply fine-tuning to create a custom model. But it is expensive and requires some technical knowledge. And if you are using APIs, this will save you money since you are charged based on the number of tokens you use.
