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.

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.

Confirms my own observations, GenAI is already everywhere. “Google poll says pretty much all of Gen Z is using AI for work. Some 82% of young adult knowledge workers said they leverage AI in their work, a new Google Workspace survey found.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ? 🤔

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.
