NotebookLM is super useful if you quickly want to read/comprehend a document in a languange you are totally not familiar with, upload the document in a notebook, you have a summary/overview, can ask questions about it etcetera In my case it did wonders with a russian document but also with a technical book in german. #notebookLM #AI #languages

In Nature "DeepMind AI weather forecaster beats world-class system Artificial-intelligence model provides forecasts 15 days out, as well as the probability of accuracy. And it does so faster than the best operational model." , another reason to quit the "AI is good for nothing" discussions. If it can work for the weather it can work for other complex and chaotic systems too. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-03957-3?utm_source=www.therundown.ai&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=openai-s-holiday-surprise&_bhlid=81fcdabeccb8dcb5dd593d96f2e386c5499e77cb #AI #weather #forecast

Great explanation of the opensource Model Context Protocol (MCP) made by Anthropic which could have a big impact. It connects your LLMs to other applications and datasources (bi-directional), which gives enormous possibilities. The good news is that everybody can start developing with it because it's opensource. #Anthropic #Claude #MCP #AI #LLM

Discovered I can play my Ubisoft games I purchased while I had #GoogleStadia , I can now play them for free on Amazon Luna because I have a Prime account and it's able to connect to Ubisoft. Nice to have AC Odyssey and AC Origins back , great games. Still miss Stadia, what an easy and great service that was. #cloudgaming #google #ubisoft #prime #games #stadia

Good example how AI can improve without necessarily improve the current models. Combining models, let them cooperate on a task could bring big improvements. For that a language is usefull and this preprint does a proposal for that. #AI #Agents #Droidspeak https://arxiv.org/pdf/2411.02820

Benieuwd of kamerleden inmiddels ook NotebookLM (of andere AI tools) gebruiken om de bergen aan documenten die zij ontvangen te analyseren. Zie bijvoorbeeld het bizarre aantal moties van de 21e (via @npub1w2uu...yxfw van @npub1jngv...y7xd ) #TweedeKamer #AI #politiek image

An interesting paper, AI helps scientists discover 44% more materials, leading to a 39% increase in patent filings and a 17% rise in product prototypes. The technology improves research efficiency by 13-15%, but its benefits are greater for more skilled scientists. According to this paper. https://aidantr.github.io/files/AI_innovation.pdf #AI #Science #innovation #materials

The disruption and impact of generative AI will not be diminished by the fact that progress is slowing down with regard to the large AI models as widely reported. Current models will get cheaper, better and will be widely implemented, in many applications we already use. #ai #generativeAI #impact

In a way it's great news that improving AI models by just scaling up seems to have run into problems. That will increase creativity and innovation to find new ways to improve models or maybe try new approaches. Also new combinations of technology can bring a lot. #AI #scaling #innovation #ICT

I am using both GPT-4o and NotebookLM, i have the impression that NotebookLM is much better at summarizing and analyzing texts, i am wondering whether that's because of NotebookLM implementation aspects or because of that Gemini Pro 1.5 is better at this task then GPT-4o ? 🤔 #AI #NotebookLM #Geminipro #ChatGPT #openai #google #text #summarizing #analysing

My workflow with very long youtube videos i want to check, is making a transcript with Tactiq.io , add the transcript to a notebook in NotebookLM , read the overview documents and ask additional questions if necessary, works like a charm for those long videos. #notebookLM #youtube #AI
