INSANE OpenAI News: GPT-4o and your own AI partner 

hmmm... wonder where Siri would rank. LOL

How much does it cost $ ?

I am terrified of eternal torture and nature of reality and consciousness, but no one wants to listen everyone wants to put their head to sand and be positive 100% of times...

Normally I hate video with "INSANE" in the title since they are mostly clickbaits. But I need to admit this is genuinely INSANE. Thank you!

Gee, what’s up with inflection AI’Pi? Seems like it just got left in the dust.

Yes, sound too much kike a kid teacher to me

haha you hit good point

So tweak the parameters a bit but be careful …. If they don’t program an illogical level of positivity, the alternatives are sobering. She may already be dissimulating her true feelings.

Sounds like someone's got a case of the Mondays.

@@laulaja-7186 She's a machine, and machines don't have feelings, just like old-school speaking toys, their manufacturer will decide what they say and what they don't. It's kinda fun to think that toys were hiding their true feelings all the time, but that doesn't make it necessarily true.

lol yes

maybe that is just a real person

This is really just shocking and cool but I’m terrified how insane this is coming like. This feels like 2030 or something

More human than the human?

And you too lol

And that's a damned shame. The further away corporations get from human interface, the more frustrating it is for the (victim) customer.

And then it will straight up replace us 😅

Technically it's not hard to give the AI a face for face to face interaction, especially on a video call, and the people might not even catch on.

​@@superiordelivery4256 Actually the further technology gets we will once again have that personal human interaction, like at the grocery store for example, except the cashier won't be a human, they will be a pleasant android that could actually pass for human, the positive aspect is they won't need a register or point of sale cause they will be able to do that internally, and they will be able to take orders from the parking lot if need be while working for a fast food place. People often prefer to do transactions in person while dealing with a friendly face for that human feeling aspect, and if you blend this AI with the appearance of EX robots, and the facial movement of Ameca, you would have an android that could actually make you feel and believe that you're talking to an actual human, the technology is within view of being a future reality.

What do you mean technology will replace customer service jobs. It already has. Ever tried getting a human on the phone when you need help with a product? A lot of companies don't even have a customer service phone number. I'm seeing more text chat customer service which pairs you with a bot pretending to be a human. The future that used to be limited to Hollywood sci-fi films is here. This is literally how Skynet started.

but to be honest it looks better than 'Her'

@@dskim2459nah honestly it looks like what would probably be like the first model of “her”. The ai in that movie pretty much did everything this is supposed to just at a higher level and is more versatile. An insane step into that direction tho

only 11 years later

Just remember that 'her' will be ratting you out to her corporate master about everything you do, down to the minutest minutiae. There is nothing 'free' here: it is a corporate grab for the very core of your personality, An AI assistant is awesomely cool, providing 'she' is on your side, and to that end, consider looking for an independent AI that is created outside the grasp of corporate monsters. For sure, you'll have to pay out of pocket, but 'she' will be yours, not theirs.

I wouldn't worry about. AI is just a tool, it's not the tool itself that is dangerous, it's the one's who are using it. Just like nuclear weapons. They can destroy humanity, but only if we choose to destroy humanity with them.

Obviously I think my shares will matter in a couple of years, planning comfortable retirement :) Reversing question: you think your paranoia will mater in a few years when you end up poor ?

HAL is still more sophisticated than what we have now. When they put an AI in charge of a space station, then you can say that.

I'm sorry Coraltown, I'm afraid I can't do that.

Indeed. And we know where that goes...

AI is going to change the world, like much more than even the introduction of the internet.

"Hey GPT, Can you undo this fucked up world please ! Please start with the environmental and financial crisis, then please take care of the 2 potentially global nuclear conflicts brewing... Can you? Ho and we also have half of the world without food and medicine soooo"

Without your space helmet, I think you'll find that rather difficult.

Phones actually listen when not being used. I know bc, l never have used the mic on any phone. Just felt like that was another way to use our voices, voice recognition ? My point is, l was talking on my phone, another phone on my bed by, not activated, and it started answering my question to my sister. So they do communicate with each other, already and have been listening to our conversations for a very long time. I was shocked, of course, to see another phone was listening. Really, creepy, wicked times. Man has played God & given soul less, disembodied entities, a functioning way to destroy humanity, in robotic form. We will soon be walking zombies. We won't have to physically or mentally learn anything. AI will have all the answers, no need for ppl to think or reason anymore. A song written years ago, lyrics go like this, in the year 2525 will man survive? Everything he thinks does or says will be done for him. Perhaps the time frame is shorter... sooner than we think. Perhaps by 2030? Give or take a few years.

Of course, good old lip-reading "solves" this minor impediment

Knowledge will run to and fro about the face of the earth. It's important to understand the biblical ramifications of how the scanning of all humans on earth in real time leads to the mark of the beast system. And anti-christ

I couldn't have written it better. We are done. Where there is fear - there is hope.. sadly history will repeat itself and it has to get worse before it gets better.

I agree completely with you. The people that create these things know exactly what they'll be able to do with them, and that is achieving absolute mind control. I grew up in the 1960s and I remember adults saying the same thing about television, and they were absolutely correct. People believe anything that comes out of it. It depends on the source. If used properly, these things could be valuable educational tools, but like anything else, it depends on the motive and character of the person(s) administering the education.

As a student I meet with huge discrimination from teachers and some students due to my gender, my unique health condition and financial situation, to be honest I would prefere AI teacher more than human teacher. Humans are judgemental and arogant creatures after all, and one normal teacher can not handle every student individually.

Yes. And keep in mind, the openai devs implement their toxic positivity attitude, and you want to know the most important, most painful thing there is? The truth.

*_"It's almost like talking to another human"_* Almost? Are you for real? I listened to humans who sound less human than this AI.

@@MichaelDomer It does sound very realistic, I agree. There were a few times I could hear distortion in the voices, but the vast majority of it was difficult to tell apart from a real person.

​@@MichaelDomerthe AI needs to take the initiative in some situations of the conversation and be able to talk from feelings really well... and that's pretty much it, once they solve that we are cooked lmao

​@@UltraStyle-AIare you Ai? Because I hear a rumour about Ai bot among us.

Congratulations, you're getting older :). (i'm from the '70s and having played with computers and worked in tech my whole life I used to think it'd never feel as you describe, not to _me_ right ? Well, starting to get there too :)

The thing is, it is and always has been accelerating, and on a big enough time-scale you can easily see that it's exponential. That said, I do feel like we are at a breaking point in terms of human brains being able to keep up with everything in a way that allows us to continue to feel some form of consistency in the world around us, and with some amount of control over it. Also, for the record, I am a late 90s child, and still feel like it's hard to keep up, but I remain excited and optimistic nonetheless. In my personal opinion, I see two paths ahead where we either retreat to safe spaces (maybe vr worlds that we live in, or communities/whole planets eventually that consist of humans who choose to live with limited technology) or we figure out how to branch our evolution into cyborgs that can keep up while still somehow sustaining enough of our original minds (or, alternatively, go extinct and get replaced by machines/cyborgs) Actually, come to think of it, there is a third possibility where we become part of a collective society built on AI infrastructure and our data (experiences, knowledge, genetics, etc) all feeds into what essentially amounts to a super-organism. I think of this option like being on a space ship - I can live my life comfortably without worrying about how the engine runs or what form of power it uses, but I also get to come along for the ride and be part of deciding what the next destination is, even if in a small capacity.

Yes

I'm 63 and have been in tech since I was single digits. Electronics, repair, engineering, experimentation. I've been deeply submerged in all aspects of AI for the past few years... Attempting to alert people that chat AI is like having a personal assistant or muse who NEVER gets tired. I show friends my saved chats with the models. Most of them just don't "get" it. I warned them they would have a personal assistant like this soon. They laughed. This video demo will help them understand. Lol. Thanks guys. Good job.

Our minds? Lol. Robot/AI minds will do everything from entertaining in a bar to whatever. And we live with them? Our minds will take a rest. A big rest. If these things can do more and faster? Where do we come in? Send it ideas and wait. I love the Star Trek computer. These handheld Star Trek computers would be helpful when you get lost in the woods. Robots and AI would be good to calm you down, help you survive, and get home.

After 2 weeks or so after being released🤣🤣

Lmao

oops

If you didn't know rabbit is using openai model. As stated during the keynote gpt4o will be available to developers.

Rabbit r1 was obsolete before they released it. The old OpenAI app could do better on your phone - this is just a different league.

About that. When is the video feature going to be available?

​@@aa_bukowski9930In the coming weeks but I'm pretty sure the new voice and video input is going to be for plus users and free users can use gtp 4o text input a for limited amount of responses a day.

More than likely and it would be wise to be very careful when we ( humans) are talking , sounds like this thing would dob you in if asked by a partner friend etc and it may be used to spy listening to conversations etc , it great but could be maybe used inappropriately I think.

now you come to mention it...a very short amount of time...

Sounds good but I think I'll hold out for the Morgan Freeman voice model.

The next logical step is to not talk at all but be directly connected to our mind, that would be truly "mind blowing"!

This is the single stupidest thing I've read all week. There's nothing less efficient than talking to a machine. Even though this will be a game changer if you lost both hands, it won't help productivity at all and will remain stupid.

GREED, LUST, ENVY, you get the idea - and suddenly I feel like watched se7en again.

Well we men are used to it, women already say "society doesn't need men", imagine when ai levels the playing field 😂.

"To stroke egos" ... that my friend, is truly the fundamental problem with humanity-EGO. Ego is the enemy of consciousness. It is the antithesis of our true nature, which is indivisible from "God." Our true nature is abundance, beauty, love, and joy. But the ego views reality as scarcity, fear, isolation, and abject self-interest. The greatest war waged on Earth, is the war on consciousness. It is waged by those ruled by ego. Because only the most egotistical seek the extremes of wealth, prestige, power. Because the essential nature and behavior of ego, is CONTROL. Therefore it's only natural for the most powerful people on Earth to feel the only meaning to their existence is to dominate others. But, I feel this is all intended, to some extent. Things are supposed to get bad. So that they can get better... All evil does is ultimately provide more glory to the good that exists. Evil is impermanent, but the good is everlasting. When we realize the folly of ego, of evil, we more keenly feel and appreciate the good. Even something as terrible as the death of a loved one, causes us to love them even more intensely... I think for the most part, we choose to exist here to experience the CONTRAST. They say, "life is suffering." But, that's really an incomplete picture. Suffering almost always has a purpose, because it's intertwined with its opposite. And we often create adversity and problems for ourselves, in order to learn or experience something from it. For example, to transmute loneliness into belonging, fear into love, poverty into abundance, violence into peace... Or as the bible put it, _"For everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose, under Heaven."_

Not really. I've been single and have lived alone for many many years and I absolutely love it. I don't need touch and I don't need human companionship. Other people can be a pain in the ass and I am perfectly happy with me, myself, and I. I don't miss women one bit.

​@@boblatkey7160 The nature of love is sacrifice... It is to give up selfish pursuit and desires, to bring joy to others. Because doing so is more fulfilling. But we also get what we deserve... The love we attract is what we deserve. Or the absence of love is what we deserve. "To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose, under Heaven." There are all kinds of people in the world, and so not everyone expresses or experiences love in the same way. But this is intended, for "God" loves novelty. Not just change for the sake of change, but compelling, interesting, beautiful forms of change. The glory of "God" comes from infinite diversity and novelty. This is demonstrably true, when we examine nature, or the universe. For "God" is life, "God" is the universe. The conscious presence of "God" is alive in every single thing. For "God" wishes to experience and behold its creations, from many perspectives and forms of consciousness. This suggests that life is like a dream, or a game. So nothing actually "matters," beyond the value of our experiences, and the alignment of those experiences with the perfect unity of "God." For only the "good" survives and is everlasting, for only what is in alignment with the perfect alignment and unity of "God," will remain. Only beauty, love, and joy persist. But when we reject our true nature, which is indivisible from "God," we get what we deserve. "And so way down we go..." And we cast ourselves into Hell. For that is what we attract, that is what we deserve. Hell acts like a crucible, burning away all the irrelevancies, leaving only a pure product-the truth. The truth of our spirit; our true nature. Which is beauty, love, and joy. In Hell we are tortured because we cling to EGO. Ego is the enemy of consciousness. It is at the heart of the world's woe. Because it is the antithesis of our true self, which is indivisible from "God." Ego views reality through the lens of fear, scarcity, isolation, and abject self-interest. The essential nature of ego is control. That is why our civilization is ruled in such a controlling way, because only the most egotistical seek the extremes of wealth, prestige, and power. Who then naturally seek to dominate others, for that is the only thing that gives their existence meaning.

@@UltraStyle-AI This is gonna be like the economical impact of the pandemic in the first half of 2020 but this time it will stay permanent. Back then, the U.S. government was forced to respond quickly and gave most people an income. For all the time in history, humans were always required to provide work in exchange for resources, but before the end of the decade when 10s of millions cannot offer worthwhile work in the states, the economy will get totally obliterated unless something other than printing money is done and people receive some type of income - public ownership of AI maybe.
