OpenAI releases SORA, Google Gemini 2.0 and its agents, and a mind-bending quantum chip development... and only fans AI impersonators.

🎄 Good Saturday, my beloved Ro-bro fellas! 🎄

Today's newsletter is PACKED with new developments and important benchmarks that offer a glimpse into the foundational technologies that will fundamentally alter our lived experience in the years to come.

This rate of development is exciting, but how can we not feel overwhelmed by this constant stream of incredible capabilities that we will need to adapt to in our toolset if we want to survive in the new automated era? 

Besides, using these new technologies already demands significant mental strength; if not, read what Microsoft Research says about how systematic use of GenAI cognitively overwhelms many people.

It really seems that if we stop, we'll fall behind. However, I don't think so. To have your own personal view, ideas, and original thoughts (probably the most important skills in the new overcrowded remixed AI information era), you need time to digest.

Resting is crucial for clarity, mental processing, and finding purpose, and we will need a lot of these in the upcoming years.

That being said, this is the last email you will receive in 2024. I will recharge my batteries (with lots of food, probably) to be prepared for the promising AI developments in 2025, particularly in agent technologies and exciting AI video generation progress.

I’ll do my best to keep sharing useful information and relevant news so you are up to date with innovations and can feel prepared and excited to face these thrilling times.

🎄 Have a great end of 2024 and beautiful holydays with your loved ones! 🎄

Yours sincerely,

Rafa

The chart of the week: What LLMs in 2024 tell us about 2025?

As more powerful and reliable LLMs become available, their integration into various software products and services is likely to accelerate. In 2025, we could see LLMs becoming a ubiquitous component of many digital tools and platforms.

With tech giants like Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft all releasing their own LLM offerings, the competition in this space is expected to intensify. This could lead to even faster progress and more innovative applications of language model technology in 2025.

The rapid advancement of LLMs raises important questions about their impact on the job market, the spread of misinformation, and the ethical considerations around their use. In 2025, we may see increased scrutiny and regulation around the responsible development and deployment of these powerful AI systems.
