We're journeying down the rabbit hole of the recent Open AI shake-up, where the plot features a board of directors and a founder forced out. But the story doesn't end there. The ousted CEO has hitched a ride to Microsoft, and we're left pondering the implications for Open AI and the future of artificial intelligence.

    Then, Imagine being able to not just read minds but translate brainwaves into text and images. That's the brave new world that Meta and the University of Texas are pioneering. While the potential for mental health support is staggering, we're also tackling the elephant in the room - the ethical and privacy concerns such AI breakthroughs bring. On the other hand, Apple's RCS revolution and the blue bubble vs green bubble debate is changing the way we communicate. But is this a direction Apple is truly committed to?

    Finally, we're exploring the future as it unfolds - rewatching your dreams through advanced headsets, the possibility of diagnosing brain disorders and mental illnesses through revolutionary technology, and understanding the brain in ways we've never done before. From Microsoft’s takeover of OpenAI to the integration of messaging apps and technology, this episode promises to take you on a riveting ride through AI's recent upheavals and breakthroughs, and what they mean for our future.

Bold as it may sound, that future is closer than you think, thanks to Microsoft's Copilot. On today's episode, we dive into the cutting-edge world of Copilot, its integration with the Microsoft suite, and the anticipated launch of Copilot Studio, a premium version aimed at revolutionizing business operations.

  • Microsoft's Controversial Stance on AI Tools
    Nov 18 2023

    Imagine a world where your employer prevents you from using the tools you created! Sounds far-fetched? That's exactly what happened at tech giant Microsoft when they blocked their own employees from using GPT, an AI chatbot, stirring up a storm of questions about data security and the company's stance on third-party AI tools. Strap in as we spin this intriguing tale and examine its impact on the development of AI tools.

    Ever wonder how tech conglomerates approach AI integration? We pull back the curtain to reveal the AI race unfolding in the industry, with a special focus on the strategies employed by Microsoft and Apple. And it's not just the tech firms; governments worldwide have started to join the dance, introducing legislation to regulate this rapidly evolving landscape. From Meta's influencer AIs to AI's potential vulnerabilities, we scrutinize everything through a magnifying glass.

    As we peer into the future, don't be surprised if you encounter a few unsettling scenarios. AI development comes with its own set of challenges, including the risk of dehumanization. Microsoft's restriction on GPT, international politics, and the ethics of AI - it's a complex web, but one that needs to be untangled for a secure future. We promise a roller-coaster ride as we shed light on the struggles of AI developers and the significance of maintaining human connection amidst the technological leaps.
