[@digheanurag]

God I put it on outlook just to get some good search going

[@gundmc13]

The idea of the "Where did I leave my glasses" was not to suggest that you would actually ask the AI assistant where you left things as a use case - it was a flex to show the assistant could recall a detail that wasn't explicitly discussed from a previous image a minute ago that wasn't directly in its current field of view. It's another example of a huge context window and how it's helpful. A 2 million token context window isn't just for writing a really long prompt. It means everything in that 2 million tokens can be retrieved with perfect recall, whether that's a super long conversation dialogue, or if it's a 2 hour video file. Honestly I think people are sleeping on how huge of a deal that can be and Google isn't doing a good job of telling people why they should care about a context window.

[@TreesPlease42]

How many tokens is your context window? Seriously though, the massive increase in tokens directly addresses the issues with coherent conversations.

[@AlricoAmona98]

Nah some people are just dense. You don't need to be a genius or have revolution marketing fed to you to understand larger context window.

[@T_Time_]

It’s not that impressive, with your computer, you can run an python script to collect all of the items of short time frame, you can run a script that recognize objects, once recongize you can make the list of how to each other they are. Then when you need to ask the ai, where is your glasses, it would search that list. The list would probably no more than a 100, in this situation where it is revolving around the room, if you remove the duplicates for every frame. As an coder and who works with vision opencv to be particularly, this was underwhelming. In the sense that they tried to package this is as something of the future. They could have atleast stress test, because the object was not surrounded by clutter, or other anomalies, that would have shown a performance increase different then you can get on an normal computer. Openai is probably going into the product now, but they probably going to have some shitty robot next, but gbt 5 is going to take along time to make

[@ApertureLabs]

​@@T_Time_ The entire point of Transformers, though, is how generally capable they are compared to other methods. You can't ask a narrow vision model how to cook a meal with the ingredients in front of you, and then ask that same model to sing a lullaby about the ingredients you used 5 minutes ago. Sure, you might be able to code your way to that very specific use case with some rudimentary ML models and a little python code, but it would lack the flexibility and generalization that Transformer models provide. Traditional techniques like OpenCV are fundamentally limited in their ability to understand and reason about the content of an image in a flexible, context-aware manner. When a Transformer model "looks" at an image, it doesn't just recognize objects, it builds an understanding of the scene. The self-attention mechanism at the heart of Transformers allows the model to consider the relationships between different parts of the image and encode information about the scene in a highly structured way, it's able to understand what's actually happening in a scene and reason about it. These long context lengths allow these models to reason across video as well, which opens up thousands of use-cases.

[@T_Time_]

@@ApertureLabs you are overestimating what the transformer is doing in that scene, in which I provide an script to easily replicate what happen in the demo , “to find my glasses”. It’s cool that you have an app that can do this, but it is not impressive or groundbreaking for simple tasks. Like if I can think about the simple python code (find object, create list, google search “meals” + list) to use narrow vision models to find a meal based off of ingredients in a meal, is not impressive. Since it is probably searching google as well. It’s not trying to understand the chemistry between food. Lol

Yet they still did a terrible job at covering the 4o

[@MrKevinPitt]

Love this show listen/watch every week! But sometimes I think they are so immersed in the field of tech they kinda miss the wonder of some of these innovations. I watched the OpenAI event and was absolutely blown away. Yes it was silly at times and the use case demos were a bit contrived but where we are in contrast to where we were 15 years ago just absolutely amazes me. Wish the fellas took a step back sometimes and just appreciated that for a nanosecond. Love yea! We truly live in a age of wonders ;-)

[@Aryan214T]

Yeah they really downplayed it

[@tiagomaqz]

This exactly how I feel. It’s like they see so much tech that nothing impresses them anymore and they forget there’s a world outside theirs where tech such as ChatGPT4o is absolutely groundbreaking. I use it very often for conversation and it was already impressive before the “o” update.

[@KishoreKV]

[@saxon6621]

Why contrast to 15 years ago? This is an update to an existing product. Of course it can look impressive in a tech demo that doesn’t mean that much in itself. They’re being critical and asking important questions which is good.

[@jonathanvu769]

David is really writing off the extended context window 😂 this is a huge step toward the potential for a personal assistant who can know everything about you. It’s also a big divergence from OpenAI, as Google is moving toward an infinite context window whereas OpenAI seems to be maximizing vector stores and RAG. A specific use case for my industry - the eventual possibility of having individualized GPTs trained on patient data, meaning that physicians can have a model that is queryable via natural language that can give clinical summaries of a patient history. I agree a lot of new AI features are overhyped but I don’t think we should write off the underlying advancements in these models - very exciting stuff on the horizon!

[@anonimous__user]

I definitely agree with Marques' take on the very simple example that OpenAI used to showcase their new model. I can say that the moment I saw their demo of how GPT4o can read math problems on a piece of paper, and especially their KZbin video showing how it can even understand things like geometrical objects on a screen, I immediately thought "Oh! Maybe it can help me with my work!". And sure enough, I tested it and I can say that it's very, very good (much better than before) as an assistant helping you figuring out what kind of statistical analysis you can run on a dataset, guiding you through all steps of the process from testing assumptions, to suggesting alternative steps such as transformations or different type of analyses, to checking graphs of residuals distribution and so on. Up until the very end of the process. It can even guide you on how to perform each step on a specific software (as long as it's popular enough, for example SPSS). It really is great! I cannot wait for their desktop app to be released for Windows, because it would make the experience even smoother!

[@azaelandy04]

Maybe I’m out of the loop but GPT4o is the most impressive tech I’ve seen in a while.

Maybe I'm just trying to find s podcast that gives serious thought and commentary. They didn't talk about the really impressive parts.

There’s a lot of things that I miss not having Nonverbal communication. For example, most times conversations are started up by talking with your eyes.

[@AlricoAmona98]

Love this example. It's a shame they downplayed the technology. This is my biggest gripe with tech reviewers. They never consider people with disabilities nor do they shed light on the features that bridge better accessibility.

[@kavishbansal]

This channel lacks the ability to recognise the problems physically challenged people face in their day to day life. Which is why having a diverse range of people work with you is a great way to understand the perspectives that people would never think about.

[@menithings]

The new iPad Pro is thinner (really lighter) so its center of gravity can be lower when docked to the Magic Keyboard. This weight shift means that the iPad can be suspended further back on the keyboard (check out the hinge's new 90 degree angle), and therefore free up more space on the case for a larger trackpad and a function key row. The Magic Keyboard is an almost ubiquitous accessory for the Pro, so the iPads lighter weight now resolves the Magic Keyboard's two major flaws - making it a more attractive upsell.

[@dplj4428]

But the keyboard is top-heavy leaning. So awkwardly not going to be your lapdog.

[@sachoslks]

I think you are underselling GPT4o. The fact it does all the "understanding" in audio to audio form is such a big leap vs the previous way it worked. You lose so much detail when doing audio to text -> text to text -> text to audio. I think of the new model as kind of like the ChatGPT moment but for audio instead of text. The thing can whisper, laugh, sing, "breath", snicker, giggle, talk fast or slow, be sarcastic, do different voices all while significantly reducing latency. Not to mention all the multimodal examples they showed on their blog post like the SOTA text generation in an image, text to 3d capability, sound fx generation (although im not sure about that example yet). All of this is happening in a single neural network, think how amazing is that, plus it is much cheaper and faster than regular GPT-4 to begin with. It seems they managed to get GPT-4 level intelligence in a much smaller model that allows it to run cheaper and faster while unlocking new modal capabilities so i think it is fair to expect when they scale it up to a much bigger model we could see some big improvements although it may negatively affect the speed/response time of conversations.

Can confirm, in work, Google Chat is one of the most used tools for me. Especially since we use the whole Google workspace, the chat's integration with meets and such are awesome. It's much helpful in projects/ teams for discussion and also sometimes as an alternative for less professional chat than an email.

@@dahstroyer I think the concern is valid, but even with search you have the "Don't believe everything you read on the internet" issue. I feel like the AI fact checking is something that can for sure be solved to be at least as reliable as the average person's ability with search. I don't think it's quite ready and their critiques are valid. I just think it's interesting to see if these concerns are going to be seen in the same light as the book vs internet argument years ago

[@macro_concepts]

I don't think OpenAI did a good enough job of conveying how important and impressive it is to have a natively multimodal model that works this well. 4o is a very significant accomplishment.

It's so good to see that Andrew is worried about critical issues in the tech world i.e. Camera cutout symmetry in Apple products. It's a good example of when you haven't done any homework but you have to shoot for the Podcast. Dont mind dude..just pulling your leg.

How are these guys not MINDBLOWN by GPT-4o. I'm upset 😂 1. There are no fillers to make the illusion of faster responses. In the stream, 4o could literally respond with a simple yet very human answer in 300 ms. Which, on their website, says it's a bit faster than human response time. 2. This is a HUGE turning point in history. This is already an AGI. Have you heard Scarlet Johansson in Her? The humanness & naturalness in not only the voice, but the tone, empathy, and range in voice the AI is capable of. This is nothing like the previous GPT voice call. The reason this GPT is super fast now is it doesn't transcribe to text anymore in order for it to understand you. It actually understanda the AUDIO. It hears dog barks, people laughing. 3. It can tell between different people talking and talk to each one separately, even addressing them by their name. It can sing, it can talk however you want it to. It's almost as if the voice was malleable where it isn't just a text to speech bot. Rather an actual voice that is dynamic and ridiculously impressive. Don't tell me you haven't seen how it reacted to that puppy. 4. You can literally video call with it where the app feeds video frame by frame to the AI which means it can basically see you in real time. It can even help a blind person (watch that clip) in real time. Everything is just so seamless. Marques should've watched the event, I'm sure he would've been blown away. I'm sure he would've seen what the other guys here didn't.

[@craxy890]

Probably because it's just another tech demo with big promises, and possible best case scenario scripting. Until they get hands on, they (and many of the rest of us that have been around tech announcements a while) will save the excitement until the proof is in hand and is the final reviewable / generally available version.

[@viruscat385]

What's funny to me was the part at Google I/O where they talked about the risks and responsibility of AI (like misuse and misinformation). Not once did they mention copyright, which IS the biggest ethical problem of generative AI. It basically works because it steals from all the hard work other people are doing and tries to replace these people more and more

[@TreesPlease42]

Biggest ethical problem is the war. Next is bad actors using custom AI. Third is opening AI to the public. Fourth is content theft and its effect on the market.

I saw a video talking about AI being multi agent model. Which means that you have multi AIs fact checking before the result is populated, may be a bit slower initially but will get faster eventually.

FYI Gemini flash costs .35 cents per 1 million tokens used so yes Microsoft should be scared it’s cheap for gpt 4 levels of performance.

I felt the progress was so remarkable, and I am going to be thoroughly inquisitive about the new prospects these tools and services open up.

I agree with what Adam said about talking to AI any moment when reading books / watching a movie / tv show can be a great feeling. I use chatgpt for that too and it was an awesome companion for this purpose, whether you just want to be able to express yourself or have a spoiler free "Wikipedia" about characters or lorrs of the book or movie or show. I was watching Zack Snyder's Justice League but I am also pretty new to the DC cinematic universe. I know some but not a lot. ChatGPT did a perfect job of not spoiling any stories while filling in my knowledge gap. Having it right there for me to talk to and the immediate response (instant gratification) felt so so good!

Watching non artist review the newest iPad (which is made specifically for digital artists finally giving us the barrel roll movement desperately needed to actually use iPad professionally like all the other high end stylus art tablets) is like watching dentists review heart surgery tools.. Artists around the world are rejoicing and ready to form parades over this feature and everyone else’s is shrugging shoulders. Like the hover feature: the most important feature for digital artists allowing any screen you use to become the iPad drawing surface.. every non artist shrugged on that too. Look y’all, there are iPads for all of you non artists, but now there is finally one made just for us artists. Have a successful artist review the iPad Pro.

[@tiagomaqz]

I agree 100%. I wish they did more research before talking about tech. They only talk about impressions stead of real world use and feedback.

[@tanmayjaiswal5935]

Hard disagree. Even if they did nothing to the iPad and just released a new apple pencil, they could have accomplished the same thing. The iPad itself added no value except for moving the camera to a slightly better spot. In fact, they have forced you to buy a new iPad just because you want the new apple pencil. If anything, this was a really shitty move but Apple.

[@6bthedevil]

I draw with parallel pens as do MANY comic book artists. We can finally do digitally what was only possible traditionally. Your opinion means nothing to me.

[@mallow610]

You guys really need an AI specialist on your panel. Some of the stuff said was pretty dated and not understanding the underlying tech and implications of last week’s announcements. None of the other emergent capabilities were mentioned for GPT-4o, nothing about how significant audio-in to audio-out is. Being able to give an audio interpretation of an image without being converted to text is groundbreaking.

[@mallow610]

It just comes off as no research was done on this topic.

[@jakebj]

this.

[@acelovesit]

I feel like they're drained from it, so it comes of negative because of bias. But they really do need to pull their finger out with the AI stuff, or just not cover it. Kinda disappointed in this episode, I was expecting some excitement about these achievements, but all I felt and saw was ridicule to the user and the technology.

[@mallow610]

@@acelovesit I would argue it’s because people who do not know the ins and outs of AI tech are not able to actually understand what it is doing and what it is capable of. I think we are at the point where the general public will see something and be like “oh that’s cool”, then brush it off. For example, I showed some family members shocking Sora video and they barely responded cuz to them it’s just a video. They don’t get how the system is actually working and how insane it is. I agree with not covering it, or be like “we are covering this from the viewpoint of the general public seeing this as presented”

[@ZenCodingStudio]

Hey MKBHD and Team, I'm Sai Harshith, and I've got a strong reason regarding the positioning of the Apple Pencil on the iPad that might convince you. Apple likely maintained the position of the Apple Pencil because many users have a habit of holding the iPad in landscape mode. Just picture yourself holding the iPad with your left hand, and the pencil is on the left side of the iPad in landscape mode, while you're also holding a coffee with your right hand during a meeting with the camera on. Managing everything could be quite challenging. Although one could suggest swapping the positions of the iPad and coffee, some people are either left-handed or right-handed, and there's also the issue of not having the option to carry the Apple Pencil separately. If you unintentionally bought the pencil without considering its position, your only option is to attach it to the iPad. So, imagine how you would feel. Some might wonder why Apple changed the position of the Pencil, right? That's precisely why Apple likely didn't change the position. If you find this explanation helpful, please consider responding or even pinning this message so that iPad users can understand the reason behind it. Thank you for taking the time to read this message.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1183">19:43</a> the audio was cutting out because of the connection to the servers, it happens on the current/old voice chat too. That’s why they used the direct input internet vs wifi so they could minimize it. There were also moments where the audience made noise and it thought it was being interrupted. That part is understandable but leads me to wonder how perfectly quiet of an environment one needs to be in. Like would background music cut it off, or if someone yells to a friends outside your window type of thing. I imagine it’s hard to have it figure that out at this point (doable but still). But a lot of the times it was cutting out was just a server lag if I’m not incoreect

[@jerrydmaya]

For years KZbinrs (who don’t use the iPad as their primary device by the way) have asked that the orientation of the front facing camera be changed, knowing full well that it’s going to go on the same side as the Apple Pencil charging dock. It was bound to bring changes to the charging system of the pencil, thus why the baseline iPad can’t charge from the same dock and forcing the Apple Pencil type c to be introduced. Changing the Apple Pencil dock was out of the question from the beginning for us who use the iPad as our primary device. Its current dock just makes sense. I think the comment about the Apple Pencil pro being a money making scheme is a bit of a naive statement from Marques who he himself has worked on products of his own and must know design change will compromise function.

[@Serifinity]

Seriously you guys liked that DJ at Google IO? 🤦‍♂️ I think whoever hired him should be fired instantly. I do not see how screaming at your audience would ever encourage them to enjoy the experience. Also after using GPT-4o all week, I'm not sure you are right about the filler words, it's so fast they are not needed, I think it was more to keep the conversation moving along as in the live demos not every response had filler words.
