  Code Interpreter could be the ultimate plug-in, and you judge for yourself by the end of these 12 examples. If you didn't have to re-evaluate after my previous 23 use cases, try these!From scanning 340k word books (Anna Karenina), to correlating multiple files simultaneously, from ASCII Art to advanced mathematics, and from spotting a data error in a massive spreadsheet to outputting pdfs and powerpoints, GPT 4 has been given a lot of work by me these last few days.

  Do We Get the $100 Trillion AI Windfall? Sam Altman's Plans, Jobs and the Falling Cost of Intelligence 07.10.2026 19min

  Sam Altman predicted this week that OpenAI could capture up to $100 trillion of the world's wealth. But what are his plans for OpenAI to distribute that wealth? I analyse all three plans, cover his financial stake, his case for UBI, a science org and the American Equity Fund.From papers and interviews released in recent days, I go over his predictions for massive inequality, which jobs will be impacted most, what tasks OpenAI thinks will be automated, recent surveys of business leaders and their plans to use ChatGPT for job replacement, the Goldman Sachs job analysis and which jobs Altman thinks will be hit first (customer service).I also cover two recent productivity experiments to test the impact of GPT models and the YouGov survey on stopping it all. President Biden weighs in, Levi's gets backlash, Wired thinks human work has a chance and Sam reveals his back-up plan to use AGI to solve AGI's problems.NYT Altman Plans: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/31/technology/sam-altman-open-ai-chatgpt.htmlWSJ piece on Altman: https://www.wsj.com/articles/chatgpt-sam-altman-artificial-intelligence-openai-b0e1c8c9Strictly VC interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebjkD1Om4uw&t=350sAltman UBI: https://twitter.com/sama/status/1521939983673659392Techcrunch UBI: https://techcrunch.com/2023/02/21/the-non-profits-accelerating-sam-altmans-ai-vision/?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAABrvoC-VT5Tq17g7IGo-RzdxAjrhn0J_XSKW39BWUUiAqyv_255bToPEhUVluxzteG1R7Iv57IjRAdG8h7q2mSPSlPmlXgGKB7gEH83oWnM7bHxSwIQ6HEXAFxtNTp_tKuCV7wVol3yYRY8f1VsBmGGFKlv7vAg6NcDqGU1FHWzXAltman Blog: https://moores.samaltman.com/Altman Fridman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qof80Sy3__8Altman Greylock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHoWGNQRXb0Altman 'Get Rich' Tweet: https://twitter.com/sama/status/1625186078599811072?lang=enGPTs are GPTs: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.10130.pdfSutskever Fridman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13CZPWmke6A&t=3945sResumeBuilder Survey: https://www.resumebuilder.com/1-in-4-companies-have-already-replaced-workers-with-chatgpt/Goldman Sachs Analysis: https://app.box.com/s/1gci1adaueg3i5ajsin3gg62rm7b00h4GPT 4 Technical Report: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.08774.pdfAltman AI Field Notes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPJIpx3KscYGithub Experiment: https://github.blog/2022-09-07-research-quantifying-github-copilots-impact-on-developer-productivity-and-happiness/White Collar Experiment: https://economics.mit.edu/sites/default/files/inline-files/Noy_Zhang_1.pdfYouGov Survey: https://today.yougov.com/topics/technology/survey-results/daily/2023/04/03/ad825/2Biden AI Tweet: https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1643359035398184960Levis AI Models: https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/27/23658385/levis-ai-generated-clothing-model-diversity-denimAltman UBI Fridman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yfQrtKjtH4Wired AI Art: https://www.wired.com/story/art-artificial-intelligence-history/https://www.patreon.com/AIExplained Non-Hype, Free Newsletter: https://signaltonoise.beehiiv.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

  How Well Can GPT-4 See? And the 5 Upgrades That Are Next 06.10.2026 11min

  What exactly can GPT-4 see? And does OpenAI have a plan for physical embodiment? Over 12 separate developments announced in the last few days are covered in this video, in which I showcase how improvements in text, speech, 3D, and embodiment are beginning to complement each other.We'll take an early look at use cases for images in GPT 4, how Nvidia and Adobe are pushing boundaries in Text to 3D, at Sam Altman's Moore's Law For Everything, at the new LeRF model and Assembly AI's latest Speech-to-Text. We will also see how OpenAI already had a Robotics team but now is invested in 1x, developing humanoid robots.

  'Sparks of AGI' - Bombshell GPT-4 Paper: Fully Read w/ 15 Revelations 06.10.2026 17min

  Less than 24 hours ago a paper was released that will echo around the world. I read all 154 pages in one sitting. The paper suggests GPT 4 has ‘sparks of Artificial General Intelligence’. This is not just hype, I go through 15 examples detailing just what exactly the unrestrained GPT 4 is capable of.Insane highlights include the monumental ability to use tools effectively – this is an emergent capability not found in ChatGPT. I detail the kind of tools it has already demonstrated it can use, from using external APIs to being a true personal assistant, from a Fermi answerer to a Mathlete and a handyman. This paper may well change your thoughts on the state of AGI.That is just touching on the multitude of implications of this bombshell paper, which was originally titled 'First Contact'...Sparks of AGI Paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.12712.pdf3D Game: https://twitter.com/ammaar/status/1637592014446551040Augmented Memory: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2301.04589.pdfAdept AI Photoshop: https://www.adept.ai/blog/introducing-adepthttps://www.patreon.com/AIExplained Non-Hype, Free Newsletter: https://signaltonoise.beehiiv.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

  What's Up With Bard? 9 Examples + 6 Reasons Google Fell Behind [ft. Muse, Med-PaLM 2 and more] 06.10.2026 16min

  A definitive comparison between Bard and GPT-4 - and it doesn’t look good for Bard. I demonstrate, with nine different examples, that Bard has a serious problem. From coding to content creation, summarisation to self-tutoring, I cover all the deficiencies that will stop Bard being currently useful. I then go into 6 explanations for why Google might have fallen behind. From Attention authors leaving the ship, not defining their product, safety and Anthropic, better models and Med-PaLM, I explore all the reasons why Bard isn’t up to scratch.
