Another insane week in AI
I need a break 😪. I'll be on to answer comments after I sleep. Enjoy
Autogpt is GPT-4 running fully autonomously. It even has a voice, can fix code, set tasks, create new instances and more. Connect this with literally anything and let GPT-4 do its thing by itself. The things that can and will be created with this are going to be world changing. The future will just end up being AI agents talking with other AI agents it seems [Link]
“babyagi” is a program that given a task, creates a task list and executes the tasks over and over again. It’s now been open sourced and is the top trending repos on Github atm [Link]. Helpful tip on running it locally [Link]. People are already working on a “toddleragi” lol [Link]

Build financial models with AI. Lots of jobs in finance at risk too [Link]
HuggingGPT - This paper showcases connecting chatgpt with other models on hugging face. Given a prompt it first sets out a number of tasks, it then uses a number of different models to complete these tasks. Absolutely wild. Jarvis type stuff [Link]
Worldcoin launched a proof of personhood sdk, basically a way to verify someone is a human on the internet. [Link]
This tool lets you scrape a website and then query the data using Langchain. Looks cool [Link]

A new approach for robots to learn multi-skill tasks and it works really, really well [Link]
Use AI in consulting interviews to ace case study questions lol [Link]
Zapier integrates Claude by Anthropic. I think Zapier will win really big thanks to AI advancements. No code + AI. Anything that makes it as simple as possible to build using AI and zapier is one of the pioneers of no code [Link]
A fox news guy asked what the government is doing about AI that will cause the death of everyone. This is the type of fear mongering I’m afraid the media is going to latch on to and eventually force the hand of government to severely regulate the AI space. I hope I’m wrong [Link]
Italy banned chatgpt [Link]. Germany might be next
Microsoft is creating their own JARVIS. They’ve even named the repo accordingly [Link]. Previous director of AI @ Tesla Andrej Karpathy recently joined OpenAI and twitter bio says building a kind of jarvis also [Link]
gpt4 can compress text given to it which is insane. The way we prompt is going to change very soon [Link] This works across different chats as well. Other examples [Link]. Go from 794 tokens to 368 tokens [Link]. This one is also crazy [Link]
Use your favourite LLM’s locally. Can’t wait for this to be personalised for niche prods and services [Link]
The human experience as we know it is forever going to change. People are getting addicted to role playing on Character AI, probably because you can sex the bots [Link]. Millions of conversations with an AI psychology bot. Humans are replacing humans with AI [Link]

Mock YC interviews with AI [Link]
Self healing code - automatically runs a script to fix errors in your code. Imagine a user gives feedback on an issue and AI automatically fixes the problem in real time. Crazy stuff [Link]
Someone got access to Firefly, Adobe’s ai image generator and compared it with Midjourney. Firefly sucks, but atm Midjourney is just far ahead of the curve and Firefly is only trained on adobe stock and licensed images [Link]
Research paper on LLM’s, impact on community, resources for developing them, issues and future [Link]
This is a big deal. Midjourney lets users make satirical images of any political but not Xi Jinping. Founder says political satire in China is not okay so the rules are being applied to everyone. The same mindset can and most def will be applied to future domain specific LLM’s, limiting speech on a global scale [Link]
Meta researchers illustrate differences between LLM’s and our brains with predictions [Link]
LLM’s can iteratively self-refine. They produce output, critique it then refine it. Prompt engineering might not last very long (?) [Link]

Someone connected chatgpt to a furby and its hilarious [Link]. Don’t connect it to a Boston Dynamics robot thanks
Chatgpt gives much better outputs if you force it through a step by step process [Link] This research paper delves into how chain of thought prompting allows LLM’s to perform complex reasoning [Link] There’s still so much we don’t know about LLM’s, how they work and how we can best use them
Soon we’ll be able to go from single photo to video [Link]
CEO of DoNotPay, the company behind the AI lawyer, used gpt plugins to help him find money the government owed him with a single prompt [Link]

Chief Scientist @ OpenAI, Ilya Sutskever, gives great insights into the nature of Chatgpt. Definitely worth watching imo, he articulates himself really well [Link]
This research paper analyses who’s opinions are reflected by LM’s. tldr - left-leaning tendencies by human-feedback tuned LM’s [Link]
OpenAI only released chatgpt because some exec woke up and was paranoid some other company would beat them to it. A single persons paranoia changed the course of society forever [Link]

For one coffee a month, I'll send you 2 newsletters a week with all of the most important & interesting stories like these written in a digestible way. You can sub here
Edit: For those wondering why its paid - I hate ads and don't want to rely on running ads in my newsletter. I'd rather try and get paid to do all this work like this than force my readers to read sponsorship bs in the middle of a newsletter. Call me old fashioned but I just hate ads with a passion
Edit 2: If you'd like to tip you can tip here https://www.buymeacoffee.com/nofil. Absolutely no pressure to do so, appreciate all the comments and support 🙏
You can read the free newsletter here
Fun fact: I had to go through over 100 saved tabs to collate all of these and it took me quite a few hours
Edit: So many people ask why I don't get chatgpt to write this for me. Chatgpt doesn't have access to the internet. Plugins would help but I don't have access yet so I have to do things the old fashioned way - like a human.

Original - 22 March 2023
Backstory: My (17F) mom (45F) cheated on my dad (46M) 7 years ago with my step-dad, Alan (50M). I was 10 at that time. I knew that my mom had another boyfriend that made them to get a divorce. My dad was devastated to say the least. My dad fought hard to get custody from my mom because he did not want to lose me at all. He did end up getting 50/50. Ever since my parent's divorce, I hated my mom. I hated that she hurt my dad. I remember my dad drinking himself to sleep after the divorce, I was 11 and had to push him out of the couch and cleaned his vomit. I saw what my mom did to my dad and my step-dad was also to blame for it. My dad did clean up and started to make changes in his life and became a good father figure for me. But he still suffered from the aftermath of my mom's infidelity. He was finally in a better place now. He has worked enough to build a relationship with me too. Suffice to say the relationship I had with my mom never recovered. I hated going to her place and watch her play family with some random guy. She never made an effort to keep our family together yet she happily became the loving wife to him? I hated him too. My mom tried really hard to make me forgive her. She said sorry and apologised. I never missed a chance to remind her that she was the one who broke my family.
It will make her cry that her own daughter wants nothing to do with her but I didn't care. I would lock myself in my room the entire time and not come out. I was always loud and clear that I don't like my step-dad even though he also tried to make it up to me. Any gift he would give me I would just give it away. Last year my mom, Alan and I had a huge fight. I called my mom a cheating whore who destroyed my family. I also called Alan a homewrecker and said "I hope your own son gets cheated on so that you know what the pain is like". Alan screamed at me that he is tired of my shit. I left their house and went to stay with dad. I thought it was so unfair that my mom lives happily ever after and my dad was left behind to pick the pieces of our broken home. That's when my dad sat me down and told me that I should have never talked to my mom like that. Sure, she made bad choice but she is still my mother. And then he told me he forgave her and it is for the best that I forgive her because it will make me free.
My dad went on to explain that in his therapy he realized his marriage had problems. He thought that just because everything was going on a routine and there was silence, he took it a sign that everything was fine. However he learned a lot about relationship and himself over the last 7 years and has tried to become someone I could look up to. He tells me he is dating someone else and he is happy with the life he has now though there are some triggers. I was happy to hear that my dad was doing ok. And it made me realize I was being irrational. I am still mad at mom but I decided to give her a chance. I said sorry to both my mom and step-dad. I also said sorry to my step-brother and my half-brother. Things have been calm and cool for a while. I met my dad's girlfriend. She seems awesome. She has two kids who are under 10. Though she is much younger than my dad but I didn't care. As long as dad is happy I am happy for him. So, few days ago, I was chatting with my mom. I brought up the fact that I met my dad's girlfriend this week and she seems nice. My mom's expression changes. She went from having a smile to frown. She says, "i didn't know your dad was dating." I said I didn't either but my dad is taking things slow. I told her she is really nice and cool. My mom then lashed out and called me a hypocrite.
She said that for years her step-dad and her have been trying hard to make me forgive them. They went out of their ways to make it right. And I still didn't accept them. But I accepted my dad's girlfriend in a heartbeat and suddenly she is this cool step-parent. I was angry too so I blurted out "At least she didn't cheat on my dad like you". I also said that I would never accept my step-dad as a good human because he is the reason why I grew up in a broken family. That I do not owe them anything after how they treated my dad. I respect my dad's gf more than I respect them because at least she didn't cheat on him and left him to pick up the broken pieces of our family. In fact she is the reason why dad is happy now and she will always be above my step-dad. I stormed out and stayed with a friends. I know I shouldn't have said that. I mean firstly, my dad and his gf has only been dating for 6 months. My mom and dad were married for 13 years. And I felt like I oversold their relationship to mom. But I feel like an AH for how I worded it.
Some relevant comments from OOP:
"My dad turned to alcohol right after my mom cheated on him and he discovered it. The divorce just made it worse. He did love my mom with his heart and I saw how much he adored her. I was angry that my mom betrayed him and my family. If the divorce was amicable and did not involve infidelity, I would have understood but my mom lied to him and me for a year (duration of her affair). I remember my mom telling my dad she loves him and then going to her AP after that. The thought just disgusted me. Also yes my dad did let himself go after the divorce but he cleaned himself. He doesn't drink anymore and he has been an involved father ever since. He said that seeing me clean his vomit really hit him that if he doesn't get his shit together he would lose me as well. "
"You don't know what I have been through because of her infidelity. She had her second chance when she walked out of her family. The only difference is my dad didn't cheat. He was a loyal husband who loved his wife. Even after the divorced he pushed me to maintain a relationship with mom. In 30 years maybe I will forgive her but her face will always remind me of my dad just being suicidal and ripping off my family for her own selfish needs."
"My dad said it is important for me to maintain a relationship with mom. He thinks every child should have a mom. I don't go there often now. I mostly live with dad. But my dad insists I go there and build a relationship"
"You have no idea what my dad went through. It is easy for you to label him pathetic when you haven't been in his shoes. I was young but I wasn't stupid. I understood that my mom left our family for another man. And that was enough to make me not want to trust her again. Regardless, my dad pulled through. He came clean and was a better parent than my mom was. He said sorry for not being able to keep his family together and he was the one who got me to therapy. My mom only gave a half assed apology and brushed it off without considering my feelings."
"I went to therapy when I was 14. I accepted that their marriage had problems but it doesn't justify her cheating. The trust I had for her broken. It will never be the same. Maybe in few years I will have somewhat common grounds with my mom. But Our relationship will never be the same. The scar will always remain that she chose a random man over her own family. "
" My dad and gf are dating for 6-7 months now. My dad only introduced us recently. I have yet to meet her kids. My dad said that he didn't tell me because he didn't want to add another person in my life without my consideration because he has seen how the addition of step-dad did to me. He is taking it slow in that sense. I am still getting to know her and I am still uncomfortable with the fact that she could be my new step-mom"
" It's not my dad's grief. Yes seeing him like that, miserable and battered made me sad but her walking out on us messed me up. Plus she wanted me to call my step father "dad". It is a parent's job to provide stability that also includes working on your marriage which my mom never did. I do understand I hold grudge but the relationship with my mom would not be the same."

Hey moms, I need mothers to understand my pain because my mom doesn't get it. - 23 March 2023
I just want to vent in here. So please bear with me:
My mom and I don't have a good relationship. This was really because she cheated on my dad with my step dad. I was 10 at that time. I remember watching my mom and dad fight. My dad crying and saying why did she do this to him? Why did she break our family? She didn't stay. She left us and went to have her perfect life with my step-dad. I knew why, I was a kid but still understood that she broke a promise to my dad. The very mom who told me to always keep promises broke her vow. I was devastated. I would cry because our house felt empty. My dad spiraled into depression and alcohol but he came out clean just for me. I saw the amount of dedication my father gave to just provide some stability. He was there for me when I cried holding our family photo. I sometimes saw him holding that picture of us and being sad. I wish she could just understand how much I was hurt. But she didn't. She married my step dad after 5 months her divorce was finalized. She only gave me a vague half-assed apology. She didn't even apologize to my dad for her infidelity. I remember our camping trip when I was 8 and we took a picture. I also went on a trip with her new family (even though I didn't want to). She wanted to recreate the same picture except this time it was with my step-dad. It just made me angry. Because it looked like she wanted to replace my dad with a homewrecker. My therapist told me I shouldn't have to pick sides. I can love both my mom and dad despite their failures. But I couldn't. I do love my mom but it is just not the same. As I grew up, I saw the difference between my mom and dad. My dad was always concerned about my well-being, providing me stability and an open space to show my emotion. Whereas my mom was only concerned that I accept her husband as my family. She kept pushing and trying to get him involved in my life. She even asked me to call him dad. That was the first time I lashed out on her.
I told her I already have a dad and I will never replace him with anyone. She got upset and told me "when you will grow up you will know why I did what I did. It was wrong but you would understand what led me to it". I am almost 18. I still don't understand why she had to hurt me and my dad. I get that they had marital problems but if they divorced amicably I would understand. But no, she hurt me and my dad and broke our trust. I have been struggling with this a lot. I feel like I am the villain here because she sometimes implies that it is my fault for not accepting her husband in my life. That I am punishing her for what she did 7 years ago. But why doesn't she understand how her actions have hurt me? Why does she want me to just sweep it under the rug like nothing happened? Like her cheating and leaving didn't happen? I cannot play house with her and her family. I wish she could somehow understand what I am going through. What my dad went through. But she just doesn't get it. So, moms here, please tell me that I am not going crazy for this.
UPDATE 23 March 2023
This is not a very exciting update but a lot of the people have shown me love an support in this community. Also, I need to address one thing. Many people criticized my dad for being an alcoholic. Well he is not an alcoholic. He hasn't drank in 6 years. Yes, I did mention that he drowned his pain in alcohol when my mom cheated and after the divorce but he stopped when he saw me trying to clean up his vomit. I know he was wrong. But he has done literally everything to make it up to me. He went to rehab and threw away all the alcoholic drinks in the house. He went to therapy and worked hard on his career. He even got me to therapy. He has apologized for his toxic behavior and also the he tried his best to keep our family together. He has always made an open space for me to express my feelings. I feel safe with him, I trust him. He never bad mouthed my mother in front of me. Yes, he still suffers from anxiety but he has it under control. I hated watching his and our lives getting uprooted. So, I don't think it is fair for you guys to blame my dad only when he changed for me. He came clean. He stopped being an alcoholic. But say this to me, can my mother undo her infidelity? Also I know their marriage had problems but is cheating the right thing for her to do. And I haven't mentioned a major thing that is my step-dad and my dad used to be friends until the discovery of my mom's infidelity. He cut him off his life too. So yeah, you can imagine the pain both me and my dad went through. But I am proud of him for keeping his head straight.
So, now the update, I talked to my dad and arranged therapy with my old therapist. I also suggested that we need family therapy as well. My dad fully supported me and said he will look into it. Lastly, I called my mom to say sorry but instead my step-dad picked it up. I asked for my mom and he said that mom has locked herself in their bedroom because she is pissed. My mom has this habit that whenever she is mad she locks herself in a room. I asked why, he said that they had a fight about my dad. Basically, my mom had a hint that my dad was dating someone few weeks ago when he saw him at the local market with his gf. At that time, I knew he had a gf but didn't tell mom. She took the liberty to track her on facebook (idk how she got her id). My step-dad has caught her several times looking at my dad's gf. There were pictures of dad and her too. So, their argument was that my mom was basically obsessed with my dad's gf and has been stalking her. My step-dad said it's best that I do not speak to her for a while because she clearly has some issues of her own. Well, I don't know what to say. Someone you told me she was jealous that my dad moved on. This could just be it. I may or may not post any further updates. So, until then see you guys. I will be in therapy working things out on my own.
Edit: this is a repost.
Edit 2: FFS people, I am really getting tired of people messaging me and commenting that my dad was a deadbeat dad who used me as a nurse. Some of you are so cruel that you guys think that my mom made the right choice by cheating on him and leaving him. To you, I have nothing else to say. You guys are just a bunch of triggered owls who only wants to blame the victim here. No, my dad was not alcoholic throughout his life. It only happened when he confronted my mom for her affair. It only lasted for like a year. And no, he didn't make me clean his vomit. I saw him covered in it so I cleaned him myself and then he woke up and saw me. I don't know how may times I have to repeat it. That was the first and last time it happened. You guys only see this part. But there is so much you don't know. He was the best dad I could ask for and I wouldn't trade it just because one time I had to clean him up. I don't care now. Because my dad has cleaned up my vomit numerous times when I was sick and he did it without a complain. I cannot believe you guys are so pathetic that you are only fixated on that part and not the part where he actually cleaned himself up and made a better place for me. He was not a deadbeat or abusive in any ways. Deadbeat dads don't put their daughters to therapy and fight hard for their custody.
Reminder, I am not OP.
