Google Bard can now speak

Hello folks, here’s what we have today;

 Our picks 

1/

Google is jumping back into the mix with their updates to Bard. Now, you can listen to responses, change the tone (shorten/formalise, etc.), and use more languages. Exporting code to Replit is live now with the addition of images in prompts. Then, there are other familiar features like a recent chats sidebar with pinned conversations and the ability to share chats with other people. So, Meta is not the only one doing copy-paste 😉

Also, check Notebook LM - Goole’s gversion of a chat with your data app.

Elon Musk has started his (not the first) AI company named… X. Company motto is “to understand the universe.”

The homepage is just about the team, their previous work, and a hiring call. More info is coming on July 14th in a Twitter Space.

3/

Adobe says that Firefly (its image generator) has been used to create over 1 billion images across both the web and within Photoshop. That’s insane! The AI floodgates are officially open. They’ve coupled this with an announcement that the web service now supports text prompts in 100 languages.

Keep sensitive data private while still using ChatGPT

Cape Privacy has launched an API to do exactly this. Developers can build GPT powered features, including de-identification and a secure enclave for embeddings and vector search! Keep sensitive data private while prompting LLMs like GPT-4 and GPT 3.5 Turbo.
