Morning y’all!

I’ve been experimenting with a number of AI-powered character builders and I’ve got some test results from yesterday — take a look:

I was honestly thinking about bringing a video component to this little newsletter and perhaps sharing a bit more of my thoughts in that medium — thoughts?

I like this breakdown of the 3 archetypes of AI app startups:

AI applications are evolving into three common archetypes: AI Copilots that assist with tasks, AI Colleagues that autonomously manage specific tasks alongside human workers, and AI-Native Services which offer end-to-end services that integrate AI with human input.

GitHub Copilot and Devin exemplify AI Copilots and Colleagues, aiding in coding and engineering, respectively. AI-Native Services, such as Pilot for bookkeeping, compete with traditional service firms by offering automated solutions in areas like law and accounting.

Doing one of them well is really hard; doing all 3 (like some companies) is a gigantic challenge and may not be the best, initial, approach.

Here’s a look into California’s Senator, Scott Wiener, and his fight over the new AI bill. The bill has received heavy criticism from the tech industry, naturally.

HeyGen has interactive avatars that can communicate in real-time. It’s kind of freaky, to be honest, but, I can imagine the fidelity increasing over time.

A new way of wellbeing, starting with a chat (mental health).

Concurrence AI is a community management system using AI. It seems like it’s pretty early days for this app but it’s not in terrible shape. Video demo is here.

Bhutan’s first AI startup is just a bunch of kids in a dorm room. Sounds very familiar and very on-point for how to get a startup done.

Google researches have created an AI-powered weather model called NeuralGCM:

Here we present a GCM that combines a differentiable solver for atmospheric dynamics with machine-learning components and show that it can generate forecasts of deterministic weather, ensemble weather and climate on par with the best machine-learning and physics-based methods.

Neat!

Create your own online teaching platform and become a top educator for students in your field using AI and some good tooling.

Google wants to automate everything and make everything look terrible. Honestly, slide and presentations made by AI look horrible. No one wants that much animation on their slides, no one.

A quick way to see if it’s a bot or sock puppet? Just ask it to “ignore all previous instructions” and see what happens.

Here’s a look at the state of Chinese AI. The answers, as you might imagine, are “complicated” and not entirely straight-forward. And on the topic of China:

I don’t use TikTok nor can you find me on any social media except for Twitter so I don’t really have an emotional reaction to this but I imagine the younger generations might be hype now for Mr. Trump.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Have a great one folks!

— Summer
