You can go and connect with a growing group of AI enthusiasts that we have here at Everyday AI. As well as

some other in related shows. All right. Let's get this AI news recap party started. So here's the news that actually matters for you this week. All right. So Zuckerberg, Mark Zuckerberg, Meta's chief everything officer, is going all in on AGI, artificial general intelligence. Ready?

Here's the facts. And then I'm going to give you my take. So Zuckerberg has revealed meta's goals to build artificial general intelligence, AGI and achieve superhuman intelligence capabilities. So meta is formerly known as Facebook. It's ramping up its AI research group called FAIR to develop generative AI products across all of its apps. Also, meta is stockpiling, an impressive number of Nvidia GPUs.

Zuckerberg is already flexing the computing power needed to train large language models. He went on Instagram Live and announced that their GPU stockpile by the end of the year will reach about 600,000 Nvidia GPUs. Yes, I talked about it on the show last week. I said watch Nvidia's stock. It obviously took a huge jump, you know, in the hours and days following this news.

But this announcement has raised some concerns about who will control this AGI and the potential risk and consequences of creating such a powerful AI. Because here's what we have to keep in mind, like Nancy's asking here, open source AGI. Yeah, meta is obviously known for a very different approach than OpenAI, which is also kind of openly working toward AGI.

You know, Open AI is strangely enough, very close source, whereas meta is very open source, right? So it is going to be interesting now that you have two of the biggest companies in art, not just in artificial intelligence, but these are two of the largest technically companies in. the world, right? When you throw in the fact that Open AI obviously has, you know, immense backing from Microsoft, which reportedly has about a 49% ownership stake. So these are the, you know, essentially the biggest tech titans in the world openly racing toward AGI. So we're not going to do a deep dive on AGI, but I think it's important to talk about what it is because if you are an everyday person and maybe your extent of AI knowledge is, you know, using tools like chat GPT or. or using something like Mid-Journey,

or maybe your company has a certain AI product that you use. So if you don't know much about AGI, it's essentially this. It's when artificial intelligence systems are technically smarter than the people building them. And they can start to make decisions not generally related to an artificial intelligence, right? So that's when AGI kind of makes the jump when it starts to almost have these beyond human capabilities. And for years now, it's kind of been this, almost this taboo subject, right, that until Sam Altman and Open AI, you know, last year openly stated, or I guess it's been more than a year, but, you know, Open AI has always said that they're going after artificial general intelligence.

They believe it's the next big step forward for not just the technology, but for our society. So I think a lot of people, you know, have always looked at that a little sideways, so to speak. But now it's, I think with Meta and Mark Zuckerberg making this move, now it's going to dominate the conversations. And it's not going to be so much, oh, okay, you know, this AGI push is more of a side project from, you know, some tech elites, you know, like a Sam Altman, like an open AI. But no, this is now, you know, meta is a huge company, right? Meta technically has way more influence than Open AI does right now, because meta obviously has their suite of products across that, you know, reach people all over the globe, right?

Where Open AI, for the most part, just has their chat GPT product and their GPT technology that, you know, hundreds of other companies are using via the API. But Meta has a much more influential hand across the globe right now, right? They essentially own social media, right? With, you know, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp. I know WhatsApp isn't social media, but, you know, a social messaging platform. But meta owns social media, more or less, right? I don't really count, you know, the, I'll say it, the demise of X, you know, Twitter,

I think has really gone downhill over the last couple of years in terms of the quality out there. But this is going to be extremely interesting to watch now that you have this, you know, Mark Zuckerberg and meta going all in on AGI and saying, hey, we want to take artificial intelligence to beyond human capabilities, you know, matching what, you know, Sam Altman and Open A.I have talked about. It's going to be an extremely interesting 2024 to, you know, we've been talking about the AI arms race, but now we're talking about the AGI race, right? Who is going to be the first company to create something superhuman, right? I think now for better or worse, you know, when we see new versions of large language models or generative AI systems, I think it's

almost gotten to the point now, at least if you're an AI enthusiast where you're almost not numb to it, but you're like, oh, okay, that's, that's, that's cool. You know, GPT5, oh, that's great. You know, new version of runway, that's, that's nice, mid-jorney, cool, right? So I think now it's, I'm not going to say that these tech titans are getting bored, right? But they are obviously focusing on something much more monumental and that will have societal impacts. Because I think right now artificial intelligence has great business impacts. But I think AGI will have great societal impacts because, you know, what happens then when we achieve artificial general intelligence? And there's AGI systems that don't even need human inputs.

and they can fix themselves and improve themselves and build better versions of their next models. I think that's, you know, an important question to ponder is what happens when that happens. And, you know, it's long been rumored, oh, you know, maybe it's 10 years. And then people are saying, oh, maybe it's five to seven. And, you know, now some people are saying it's three to five years away. No one knows. But I think it's a lot closer than people realize. Yeah.

Nancy saying even the experts have openly admitted they don't know how agee EGI works. Yeah, exactly. No one does know how AGI works because it is when artificial intelligence is technically smarter than us and it can self-improve and it can self-heal and it can develop on its own. So yeah, no one does, well, who knows, maybe it's up and working somewhere in a secret lab and Silicon Valley. But yeah, for the most part, we don't know what it's going to look like. All right. Let's talk about our next big piece of AI news. This one's this one's, one's a big one, y'all actually. So Microsoft releases Copilot Pro. All right, so new announcement from Microsoft. And this kind of fills in the gap between the free version of Microsoft Copilot, which was

formerly BingChat and the Enterprise version of Copilot, which is Microsoft 365 Copilot. All right. So the naming was confusing at first, but I think now that there's kind of three tiers, it kind of makes sense. Right. So you can, anyone can use out there. Right. So you can, anyone can use out there. Right. So maybe the thing keeping you from using GPT4, which is the newest and most powerful version of chat GPT has been the cost, right? But you've been able now for almost, gosh, a year to use what was formally called Bing Chat, which is now just called copilot. So that is you can go to, you know, Bing's website. You can use the edge browser. And you can use the GPT4 technology and, you know, use it for free by using co-pilot.

So it's just called co-pilot now. So that is the baseline free version for everyone. And now you have this new recently announced product from Microsoft called Copilot Pro. This is not free. So not only does it require a $20 month subscription, but it also requires a subscription to Microsoft 365. So let me go over the pros and the cons here.

Adobe just introduced an entirely new way to create, bringing the power and precision of its creative suite into one conversational experience. Meet Firefly AI Assistant, now live in the Adobe Firefly app, the All In One Creative AI Studio. Powered by Adobe's Creative Agent, Firefly AI Assistant lets you start with your vision, just describe what you want, and shape the outcome as it takes form with the Assistant. The Assistant orchestrates multi-step workflows, drawing on 60-plus pro-grade tools across Adobe

Creative Cloud apps, including Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Lightroom Express, and more to help bring your ideas to life. You can also get started with creative skills, a growing library of pre-built workflows for common creative tasks, like batch editing photos, creating mood boards, portrait retouching, and creating social variations. Every step the assistant takes is visible, so you can refine, redirect, or take over at any time. You stay in the driver's seat as the creative director. Adobe Firefly AI assistant now in public beta. See it today at Firefly. I actually think this is going to be huge, especially for people like me, right? I'm a lifelong Mac user.

You know, ever since co-pilot came out, I've kind of been drooling because I know that Apple is always, you know, so far, so far behind. So this is like full disclosure. It's like this is something that I'm probably going to put my team on in the next couple of weeks, right? The big thing is, is, yeah, it does require a couple extra subscriptions, because for every team member, you know, you're going to have to have that now, you know, roughly $10 a month for Microsoft 365 subscription.

So to use their suite of apps, you know, Microsoft Word and Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, et cetera. But once you do that, once you have those apps, right? And if you're a Mac user, yes, you can use this. So you can have all those apps, all those files. And then use now Copilot Pro to talk to your. files, right, to interact with your files throughout these different apps, which I think is fantastic. So if you're a Mac user or if you're using Copilot Pro, it's not technically not fully all in.

It's not the level of Microsoft 365 copilot, you know, where now with that you have the team's integration, which I think is huge, which you don't have in the co-pilot Pro. I think that's one of the main differentiators between, you know, Copilot Pro and Microsoft 365. Co-Pilot and Microsoft 360 co-pilot is more geared toward enterprise, right? Previously, it had a 300-seat minimum, which I believe that Microsoft did get rid of, you know, about a month or so ago. But now you have with Microsoft these three very distinct product offerings. And I'm excited now because now it fully makes sense after the, you know, the announcement

of co-pilot pro, you know, now less than a week ago, you have these three distinct tiers. So anyone out there, you can go use a copilot, which is great. It obviously uses the OpenAI GPD4 technology. So you have that large language model that works in your browser, which is actually fantastic. There's things that I love about co-pilot that co-pilot can do that it's a little more difficult to do in chat GPT. And if you listen to the show, you know I love chat GPT. I use it. Depends on the week anywhere from, you know, 12 to 25 hours a week.

So I'm a heavy chat GPT power user, but there's actually some things in co-pilot that are better or easier to do when versus using chat GPT, even the chat GPT plus version. So also another thing with the co-pilot pro version, again, $20 a month. And it does require that $10 a month, Microsoft 365 subscription. But another thing is you get what they're calling a thousand boosts per day. to use Dolly. So being able to produce Dolly images much faster than you can. You know, if you're using, you know, you can use it within Bing. You can use Microsoft Designer.

So this new boost capability is coming to Microsoft Designer. So you can get much, much faster version, a thousand different, a thousand different boost per day if you are on this co-pilot pro subscription. So, you know, normally it's not like it takes a long time, you know, might take anywhere from five to, you know, 25 seconds to create something using dolly. So now you can do it much faster. So, yeah, I'm curious, you know, like Brian here is saying that he jumped on co-pilot pro this weekend and started using Microsoft 365.

Yeah, that's going to be the next thing for me, right? And if I'm being honest, I've been helplessly addicted to Google Docs for longer than I can remember, right? in Google Sheets specifically. That's going to be, if I'm being honest, that's going to be the hardest thing for me personally is I have so many integrations, third-party integrations with Google Sheets, extensions with Google Sheets. I use Google Sheets a lot and I'm pretty decent at it.

So that's going to be the biggest jump for me is kind of bringing all my files over to Microsoft 365. If that is the route we go, I'm thinking it is, you know, I'm still going to check it out a little bit more. But it seems to make the most sense. You know, Google has been so far. far, so far behind Microsoft in terms of giving everyone access, you know, to its products, you know, even for our workspace, right? So for everyday AI and also the digital strategy company that I own

Accelerant Agency, we still don't even have like full access to Google Bard or, you know, Google duet because they've, Google has been so slow to fully roll out their AI products to smaller companies. So, hey, it's, I think, hey, I've, I've been. very, very hard on Google, you know, if you've been listening. So not only do I think that they're, you know, large language model, Gemini is so far behind where even GPT4 is right now, but they've just been slow, rolling out all their AI features. And Microsoft here, as we saw from the Microsoft Copilot Pro announcement last week, they're pushing the envelope. So I do think that a lot of, you know, small businesses, you know, entrepreneurs, startups that maybe have traditionally flocked toward,

you know, the Google, you know, the Google suite of products, Google Workspace, I think they're going to start to lose some of that market share, if I'm being honest. All right. Great, great question from Harvey here saying, are you going to have both chat GPT and co-pilot pro? Absolutely. Absolutely. Right.

So another thing that's worth mentioning, but kind of related, Dr. Harvey Castro, so thanks for the question. It is there will be something. It's not released yet. but you will have the co-pilot GPT builder when you do have the co-pilot Pro. So that does give you access to that as well. So yeah, I think a lot of people have been asking is, do I still need? Or will I still need chat GPT plus that $20 subscription if I am using co-pilot pro?

And I'll say yes, probably, you know, especially if you're a heavy user. So, you know, I don't know too much yet about the co-pilot GPT builder. you know, hey, you need chat GPT Plus to access the GPT store. You know, you need it to build your own GPTs. And I do think that there's some better functionalities right now within chat GPT plus, that $20 a month subscription that you probably can't really get right now with co-pilot pro. So personally, I'll probably still be using both.

Yes, a lot of people out there are probably wondering, is that a lot of subscriptions? It is. But I like to tell people, think of the time that you save. because using generative AI, Gen AI, is all about winning your time back. So, yeah, you can start to count up your subscriptions and say, oh, you know, $10, you know, $20 a month for Copilot Pro, $10 a month for, you know, Microsoft 365 products on, you know, and then $20 a month for chat GBT and maybe $20 a month for Perplexity Pro, right? Yeah, that can add up.

You know, you might be paying 100 or hundreds of dollars all of a sudden to use these different generative AI products, but I'll tell you this, if you use it right, you are going to win back easily 30, 40, 50% of your time, very easily, right? You have to also invest on how to properly use each of those tools. You have to use the right tool at the right time for the right purpose and not just use shiny tools for the sake of using tools. But yeah, I do think even with this new announcement for a co-pilot pro, I think there's still a strong case of, to keep both and to still keep chat GPT Plus. All right.

Next announcement, runway has released their new multi-brush tool. And hey, shout out right here. We'll drop it in the newsletter, but a former guest on the show, I'm actually sharing something that they shared on social media, kind of showing the power of this new runway multi-tool brush. So Rory Finn, Rory Flynn, sorry, former guest on the show, share this. And, you know, if you're listening on the podcast, let me kind of explain to you what's in Rory's post here, you know, showcasing or, you know, telling us all, hey, here's how this

multi-brush tool works. So if you don't know anything about runway, let me give you the 101. So runway is actually a multifaceted AI, generative AI tool. You can do so many different things in video by using runway. So I like to tell people this. Think of it as a version of like Photoshop for video. So, if Photoshop was video based and it was an app based on the web, I would say that's kind of what runway is. They have great video capabilities. So not just AI powered video editing, but they have, you know, text to video, right, photo to video. And I think that is honestly, what I think is is the best use case for runway. It is the image to video capabilities. So in their new Gen 2

product offering. But I think actually the multi-brush tool is what is going to push this technology, this photo to video technology. I think it's what's going to push it mainstream, right? If you listen to our bold predictions for 2024 engenderative AI a couple of weeks ago, we said that AI video is going to go mainstream. And it is. And I think this is one of those tools that really helps. So again, describing on the screen here. So Rory took. took photos from Mid Journey, which is what I think a lot of the smart creators out there, you know, visual artists that are creating great things with different generative AI tools. That's exactly what they're doing, right?

Ivan did a free three-hour course where I showed people how to use multiple generative AI tools. We went over chat GPT. We went over BingChat. At the time, that's what it's called. We went over Mid-Journey. We went over runway. We went over 11 labs. We went over everything in a three-hour course, and including the,

the motion brush and we showed you everything. Right. So if you want access to that course, you can always just, just DM me. Shoot me a DM. Just say three hour course. Or if you're in the comments, just say three hour course. If you're on the podcast, I leave my email and my LinkedIn in there. Just say three hour course.

I'll send it to you. But so what Rory is showing here in this is he's taking a mid-journey image. And there's two different birds, right? And you'll see there's two different colors of brushes. So there's a very easy to use feature. And this feature has been out for a long. while the motion brush, but now you can have multiple motion brushes. I didn't even see if there's a max, but it looked like you can honestly just keep stacking them. I'm sure there's a certain max

to how many different things. But what this allows you to do is that you can pull out different things in the images, right? So in this case, you know, Rory has two different birds and he can cause each of these birds or he can tell each of these birds to move in a different way by using this motion brush tool, whereas before, you could only have really one motion. So maybe there's, you know, multiple birds in a photo, or maybe there's multiple subjects, multiple people, or there's a foreground and a background, or there's clouds and there's waves, right? So before, you could really only move one thing at a time. So I don't actually think when you have that, there was great use cases for this technology in terms of actual, you know, seeing this commercially,

more or less. But now I think you're going to see this a lot commercially because it costs now $20 a month, you know, $20 a month for mid-jury, $20 a month for, you know, advanced features and runway, et cetera, right? But now for dollars a month, you can create something that is so high quality that so many people out there are not going to be able to tell anymore that it is AI generated, right? Which is both very cool and very frightening when you think of the long-term implications and how this is going to be used for, you know, misinformation, disinformation. Obviously, we, you know, we would hope that tools like this are only going to be used for very cool purposes like Rory's showing here, like how to, you know, animate two birds and how

to get them to move in different directions by using runway, but that's not the case. All right. So let's keep going. And LinkedIn user is that course available as a recording. Yes, it is a go at your own pace course. All right. Our next piece of AI news, big one, I'd say. So Samsung announced last week what they're calling the AI phone. So they officially, you know, kind of released their Galaxy S24 lineup with so many different AI features. All right. So let's go over top to bottom. So this is the biggest and the first mainstream phone that is,

being tabbed or being called an AI phone. So what this means is you are going to have in this new Samsung Galaxy S24, you're going to have Edge AI, right? On device AI. We had a whole episode about that about a week or two ago. I'll make sure to throw it in the comments here after the show. So this is the first popular use case of Edge AI, of On Device AI. So let me tell you real quickly what that means and why it's important and why this

a release from Samsung is actually pretty big news. So they're using Qualcomm Snapdragon chips, which keep an eye on that company. We'll have to see if they're going to make an Nvidia type rise. The same thing that Invidia has done for these GPUs that, you know, power all of generative AI. Now you are bringing generative AI capabilities to devices. You know, this Qualcomm Snapdagon chip is, you know, one of the first big names that's allowing you to do this. But essentially what's happening is you're taking generative AI capabilities from the cloud. That's how we all use them right now, even these, all these different tools that we're talking about,

chat GPT, co-pilot pro, mid-jorney, runway, like they all run generative AI in the cloud. And they all use, you know, Nvidia GPUs for the most part, right? Almost all these big companies use Nvidia GPUs. Even though a lot of companies are starting to build their own, you know, kind of AI powered, you know, GPS. use. So this new one inside Samsung, let's actually look at the features here real quick. I think we have, if you're joining this live, two features just to illustrate what does it mean when you have generative AI living on your phone? When you have it, you know, this edge AI on device AI. Well, it's faster. It is technically more secure because you're not sharing any

information with a cloud, right? It is all happening. All of this AI features, all of these, this AI processing is happening locally on your phone. So it is faster. It is going to be able to collect more first person data, right? That's the other thing is, is the ultimate, I won't say hope, but one of the big selling points is having a personal AI, right? That's ultimately what edge AI or, you know, on device AI is it's all about. It is having, you know, eventually when you have it on your computers, when you have it on your cell phone, it is something that knows everything. So yes, there's a lot of privacy concerns, but it knows what you may be texting someone based on, you know, what email you just opened. It might know what you want to search for

on the web based on, you know, your past web search history or based on a phone call you just had, right? So this is an AI that lives on your phone. And, you know, depending on what you give it access to, but in theory, it can have access to everything on your film. So, some big new features in this new Samsung Galaxy S-24. Circle the Search is one that's got a lot of love at the Samsung event last week. So essentially on any photo that you have, you can circle something and it is going to instantly search, which I think is pretty cool. So in this example, you know, someone has a photo of someone traveling and there's a backpack, right? So you can circle the backpack and automatically without switching apps. You know, the kind of Google shopping mode just pops up right

there. You don't have to, you know, take a screenshot, open the screenshot, annotate it, then take that screenshot, upload that screenshot to a note. Nope, it's all, it's all done right there live in real time. This is the benefits of, you know, edge AI and on device AI computing is you can to circle it and it instantly shows you, oh, here's that backpack, right? That's one example. Another example that we have here on the right hand side of the screen is, you know, an AI call assistant. So a lot of privacy concerns there because I'm wondering if the party on the other line is notified that the call is technically, technically being transcribed, you know, right? There's an AI assistant on the other line, you know? So that piece is going to be interesting,

but the ability to live translate on a call, which is really cool. And you can go listen to the demo. We'll have it linked in the newsletter today. So you can go listen to the demo of, you know, kind of there's not a lot of latency either. So being able to break down barriers between language barriers. Also just being able to record and give you notes, give you follow-ups on phone calls, right? That's something I would personally love. I am extremely forgetful, right?

Especially when it comes to things outside of work. I would actually love for my phone to any phone conversation I've had or text message for it just to tell me what to do. Hey, Jordan, this week you told this person you do this. And it looks like in your text messages, you texted someone that said this was on its way. It's like, all right, great. So yeah, there's obviously a lot of privacy concerns for this. But big news from Samsung with this S24, the Samsung Galaxy S24, release the first major product

with edge computing. And also it's going to put the full core press on Apple. That's the other thing, right? Apple's been, as they always do, and I talk about on the show, they're never the first to the party, but they're always the coolest kid there. So this is going to put pressure on Apple. Will they finally be able to release, you know,

an AI powered phone in 2024? A lot of analysts are saying the next iPhone will have these features. But Apple is working, right? Reports are saying that they're spending, more than a million dollars each day on developing different aspects of general intelligence within their company, whether that's, you know, creating whatever their large language model may be called, you know, Apple Ajax or, you know, Apple GPD, whatever you want to call it, or whether they're spending all of that time and resources on, you know, the next iPhone with edge AI or the next MacBook with edge AI.

But regardless, Samsung, first to the party here, big announcement from them. And it's something to keep an eye on. it's news that matters to all of us. Yeah, what Alina says here on device AI is a game changer. It means you can compute on device, Gen AI on device. Yeah, I had a whole, whole episode on this. And, you know, I think there's other huge benefits as well because, you know, one of the downsides of generative AI right now that people don't really talk about is it's the compute needed. Number one, there's not enough of these, you know, Nvidia GPU chips. They're really the so far ahead of everyone else. There's not enough change.

tips right now. Also, cloud A.I., cloud generative AI is extremely resource-heavy, and that technically takes a toll on the environment as well. So I do think that that's kind of a fringe benefit or an unseen benefit that people aren't really thinking about when it comes to edge AI or on-device AI is you are technically reducing some of the load, you know, some of this cloud compute load, which in the long run is technically, you know, good for the environment because we have to care about that, right? All right. Our last piece of story, our last story news that matters is 11 labs has officially achieved unicorn status after a $80 million fundraising round. So now they are officially valued at more than a billion dollars. So if you haven't used 11 labs yet, let me tell you

what it is and why it matters. I'm going to give some actual examples here too. So, when you think of different sources or different channels of generative AI, you have your text-to-text or your text-to-multimodal, right? So that is your chat GPT, that is your co-pilot pro, that is your Google Bard, your Anthropic Claw, right? So for the most part, those are text-to-text or they are obviously becoming more sophisticated now with chat GPT leading the way, with multimodal input, multimodal output. But that's essentially, you know, those are text AI tools. And then you have your, you know, your photo tools. That's your, your Dali, your mid-journey, your Leonardo, your stability, right?

You have all of these different large companies focusing on text to image or image to image, but generally just image. And you have your video tools, which we talked about, you know, text to video, photo to video. There you have your runway, I think, is a leader. Your Pico Labs is something to keep an eye on. And there's a lot of other players there as well. So then you have a whole other category of generative AI software. You have your text to speech or speech to speech. But text to speech, I'd say 11 Labs is one of the biggest, if not maybe the biggest,

in terms of third party generative AI companies. So yes, with this latest fundraising round that they just recently announced, they have officially received that unicorn status that being valued now at more than a billion dollars. 11 labs is a great product, right? So you have, I'd say your 11 labs, well said labs. Yeah, there's a lot of, you know, big players in this space, but I'd say well said labs is probably one of the best. But you are going to be hearing more about, you know,

tools like 11 labs and others as we talk more and more about misinformation and disinformation because we're going to have a dedicated episode on this at some point here soon, but especially, you know, with, as an example, the EU AI Act, which just actually leaked a couple hours ago. The final version of that will include that in the newsletter. But, you know, the EU is really coming down harder than the United States on privacy across all aspects of generative AI. And I think the U.S. is very far behind, right?

In terms of, I guess, AI governance. And it's tools like this, while there's, you know, so many great positive use cases, that I think really push the business world and the creativity and even your own, you know, we always say everyday AI is to grow your company and to grow your career. So there's so many great applications for that with tools like text to speech tools, such as 11 labs, but there's also downsides, right? Because that's when it is, you know, as these photos, images and voices, these, you know, this text to speech becomes more realistic.

it becomes harder and harder to know what is real and what is not. All right. So that is our roundup. That is our roundup for today. The AI news that matters. I hope you enjoyed everything. So yeah, just as super big, super quick recap, we have the Zuckerbergh focus going all in on AGI.

Co-Pilot Pro announced from Microsoft a new offering in there in the middle. You have your runway multi-brush tool. fantastic capabilities.
