Think About This

Wednesday, December 21, 2022

There are a bunch of AI announcements in the news today. OpenAI is
releasing Point-E, which is like DALL-E but for 3D modeling. Its resolution
isn't great, but it's up to two magnitudes faster than competing systems.
Adobe released Project Podcast, a free AI-powered audio processing tool
that can enhance voice recordings, making them sound like recordings made
in a professional audio studio. Google announced a research project for an
app that can read a prescription written in "doctor's handwriting" and
figure out what the doctor was trying to prescribe. (Details for each
below.)

This is absolutely the year of AI, and the announcements are just going to
keep on coming. One of the biggest opportunities for value creation in the
next few years will be companies that leverage the base layers provided by
large language models and finely tune highly-specialized middle layers
above them. Think of it as training (educating) workers, then renting them
out to other companies. The startup thesis for 2023? Find an existing
problem or inefficiency you can solve by fine tuning a large language
model, then turn the solution into a SaaS. So exciting!!! -s

P.S. Are you going to CES 2023? If so, there are still a few openings left
for live tech briefings and floor tours on Saturday. We've also got an
unlimited number of openings for online post-CES tech briefings; these
one-hour Zoom sessions are custom-created for your business and can be
scheduled at your convenience. Learn more

Today's Most Interesting Stories   OpenAI releases Point-E, which is like

OpenAI, the Elon Musk-founded artificial intelligence startup behind
popular DALL-E text-to-image generator, announced on Tuesday the release of
its newest picture-making machine POINT-E, which can produce 3D point
clouds directly from text prompts.

If you haven't already uploaded your 10-to-20 selfies to Lensa and let it
turn you into a superhero, or a rock star, or an astronaut, you should give
it a try. It's fun, but it's also instructive. You'll learn about the type
and quality of inputs generative AI needs in order to obtain satisfactory
results, and you'll experience the workflow and process of consumer-grade
generative AI. But most importantly, when the model transforms you into a
mystical creature in a cosmic setting, or an anime character, or a cyborg,
you will find yourself asking one question: How far can this technology go?

  Make your noisy recording sound like pro audio with Adobe’s free AI tool

Recently, Adobe released a free AI-powered audio processing tool that can
enhance some poor-quality voice recordings by removing background noise and
making the voice sound stronger. When it works, the result sounds like a
recording made in a professional sound booth with a high-quality microphone.
