This week we are leaning into multiple metaphors: AI as a mirror, UX design as a window or room, and life as information. Plus: read about Michael Levin's upcoming presentation at the Imagining Summit, Helen's Book of the Week, and our upcoming events.
It’s easy to fall prey to the design illusion that because LLMs look sleek, they must be well-designed. But aesthetics alone do not equal design. As Steve Jobs once said, “Design is not just what it looks and feels like. Design is how it works.”
It’s curious that these two papers, tackling such similar ideas, came out at the same time. Is this coincidence, or does it tell us something about where the study of life and intelligence is heading?
Wondering how you can best use generative AI in your business? ChatGPT is getting all the buzz because it's exciting. But the real reason we think GPT (and the other generative AI models) matter is because they are what's called Foundation Models.
You can think of them as the new aiOS that developers can access through APIs, using these powerful models in their own applications. This changes everything about AI and provides unprecedented power to countless applications.
Get in touch if you'd like to learn more about our research on foundation models, AI, and all things collective intelligence.
