No-code AI Apps

Howdy friends. It's Friday!! Coming at you from a very frosty Bedfordshire, UK. But, if you're in San Francisco (where it's also cold), Kazuki is hosting a Ben's Bites community meetup (link) AND his ChatGPT Chrome extension just recently hit 6k users after being featured here and a few other places!

Ping me on Twitter with any cool things you see or have built! (@bentossell)

Let's get to it, it's already late Ben!

🤌 Ben's Picks

• Zapier’s OpenAI Integration has been officially released! It lets you create images and prompts directly through a Zap. You can build full no-code AI apps!!! That is a huge deal. I showed you how with webhooks but this app now makes it like 10x simpler. Set up a landing page, use a form for user input, have the Zapier OpenAI app do some magic (write emails, generate recipes, blog posts, social media posts) and put them into a Google Sheet, or display them on a website! Oh and another cool thing is that Zapier built on top of Yohei’s unofficial app. AI is hugely community driven and it’s awesome to see. Can you tell I’m excited?! (get the app here)

• Remember, the app is ACTION only, meaning you need something to trigger it. And you’ll need your OpenAI API key which you can get from your account here. (link)

• This is a great post on how someone had an idea and coded it in a few hours. Oh and the first line of code he’d ever written was generated from ChatGPT. “ChatGPT, Replit, and the AI Flywheel”. (link)

🛠️ Cool Tools

🔬 Research

• The discovery of a previously unpredicted phenomenon of robust bound states of interacting photons, which was first discovered through experimental investigation using the Google Sycamore quantum processor. (link)

• A method of adapting GAN generators to a new domain using a text-to-image diffusion model as a training objective. (link)

• SDFusion - 3D asset generation that supports a variety of input modalities and enables interactive generation. (link)

• General-purpose in-context learning by meta-learning transformers. (link)

• VideoDex: Learning dexterity from internet videos. (link)

• A​​ new paradigm for steering the behaviour of neural networks centred around task vectors. (link)

• An analysis-by-synthesis method for fast multi-view 3D reconstruction of opaque objects with arbitrary materials and illumination. (link)

• MIME: Human-aware 3D scene generation. (link)

• MoFusion: A Framework for denoising-diffusion-based motion synthesis. (link)

• Multi-concept customisation of text-to-image diffusion. (link)

• SINE: SINgle image editing with text-to-image diffusion models. (link)

🤓 Everything else

• Coqui, voice cloning and generation, is offering 50% off for BB readers using code BENSBITES50. (link)

• Generative tech market map and 5-layer tech stack from NFX. (link)

• Researchers talk about the ‘capability overhang,’ or hidden skills and dangers, of artificial intelligence. As the technology goes mainstream, we’re going to discover a lot of new things about them. (link)

• McKinsey released their State of AI Report. Here’s a quick summary: AI adoption has more than doubled since 2017, though the proportion of organisations using AI has plateaued between 50 and 60 per cent. A set of companies seeing the highest financial returns from AI are making larger investments in AI and engaging in advanced practices to enable scale and faster AI development. There is significant room to improve diversity in AI teams, and diverse teams correlate with outstanding performance. While AI use has increased, there have been no substantial increases in reported mitigation of any AI-related risks from 2019 to now. The proportion of respondents falling into the AI high performers group has remained steady at about 8 per cent, indicating that this group is achieving its superior results mainly from AI boosting top-line gains.

• An article the Financial Times discusses the debate between paternalistic and libertarian interpretations of AI, and the implications of OpenAI's latest chatbot, ChatGPT. (link)

• What's unsolved in generative AI? (link)

• Twelve Labs is building large visual language models (VLMs) for video understanding. And they just raised $12M to do so. (link)

• Generating holistic 3d human motion from speech. (link)

• “Why does ChatGPT work so well? Is it “just scaling up GPT-3” under the hood? In this thread, discussing “Instruct” paradigm, its deep technical insights, and a big implication: “prompt engineering” as we know it may likely disappear soon.” (link)

• The founder behind Modal wrote a behind-the-scenes view “What I have been working on: Modal”. (link)
