Google Goes XR and Amazon Plays 4D Chess
December 14, 2024
Welcome, AI enthusiasts!
Quick question: Remember when AI could only look at static images? Yeah, that's so yesterday. Let's dive into what's cooking in the AI world...
Time to read: 4 min (That's like 2 TikTok scrolling sessions)
TL;DR of today's spiciest AI news:
ChatGPT just got eyes (and they work in real-time 👀)
Google's jumping into the mixed reality game
Amazon's making Netflix sweat with AI-powered discovery
Plus more juicy tech updates below
Let’s get into it
VISUAL AI: ChatGPT's Getting Real(time) What's up: OpenAI just gave ChatGPT the gift of sight. And not just any sight — we're talking real-time video analysis and screen sharing.
The deets:
Works through Advanced Voice Mode
Analyze live video feeds
Share your screen for instant feedback
Plus a Santa voice option (because why not? 🎅)
Why it's actually a big deal: Think FaceTime, but your chat buddy has the knowledge of the entire internet and can analyze what you're showing them in real-time. Wild.
Now lets talk Google
MIXED REALITY: Google Said "Hold My Glasses" What's up: Google dropped Android XR, their Gemini-powered mixed reality OS. Samsung's already on board with "Project Moohan" headsets.
The deets:
Powered by that fancy new Gemini AI
Samsung's building the first headset
Landing in 2025
Seamless physical-digital blending
Why it's actually a big deal: Apple's Vision Pro is coming, and Google just said "challenge accepted." The mixed reality wars are about to get spicy.
Amazon, you’re next.
STREAMING: Amazon's Playing 4D Chess What's up: Amazon Prime Video launched "AI Topics" in beta, using machine learning to group content in ways Netflix never thought of.
The deets:
AI clusters similar content
Learns from your watching habits
Personalizes recommendations
Rolling out to select markets first
Why it's actually a big deal: Remember when Netflix revolutionized recommendations? Amazon's saying "hold my popcorn."
QUICK HITS Because we know you're busy:
Character.AI made a separate AI for the kids (smart and necessary move)
Nvidia's going big in China (1,000+ new hires)
Stanford's building a virtual human cell (science!)
Microsoft's collecting quantum AI patents like Pokemon
Tesla wants to make its own AI chips (Elon being Elon)
CREATOR CORNER
How to ride these waves:
ChatGPT's new eyes = live tutorial potential (I need this)
Android XR = early adopter advantage
Amazon's AI = smarter content strategy
BTW: The real opportunity is in combining these. Imagine creating mixed reality content that ChatGPT can analyze in real-time while Amazon's AI serves it to the perfect audience. 🤯
That's your AI tea for today! ☕️
Catch you on the flip side,
