Hey everyone! I am thinking of adding membership to the channel (Patreon and YouTube Members)... but I want your input first! I want to include some exciting perks (early access to videos, exclusive content, behind-the-scenes, Q&As, etc), and one idea is giving members access to a private Discord community.

So, quick question: do you use Discord?

Hey everyone, I just wanted to clear something up:  OpenAI hasn't actually achieved Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) with their new o3 model. There are a few reasons why that's not the case.

1. The whole idea of what AGI means is pretty fuzzy.  It's like we renamed Machine Learning to Artificial Intelligence, then invented "Artificial General Intelligence" to cover what we'd left out.  People toss around the term AGI without really thinking, which isn't very useful.

2. So building on the last point, if you're a bit loose with what you mean by AGI, you can pretty much say anything you want about it!  It's easy to just change the definition to fit whatever you're trying to argue.

3. A lot of emphasis has been placed on o3's ARC prize results, and they are impressive. But here is a quote directly from ARC, "it is important to note that ARC-AGI is not an acid test for AGI."

4. And another quote, "Passing ARC-AGI does not equate to achieving AGI."

5. François Chollet of ARC says, "I don't think o3 is AGI yet. o3 still fails on some very easy tasks, indicating fundamental differences with human intelligence."

6. And yet another, "Furthermore, early data points suggest that the upcoming ARC-AGI-2 benchmark will still pose a significant challenge to o3, potentially reducing its score to under 30% even at high compute (while a smart human would still be able to score over 95% with no training)."

You can find all the quotes from ARC here: arcprize.org/blog/oai-o3-pub-breakthrough

So, o3 is a big step up, that's for sure!  But let's be clear, it's not Artificial General Intelligence – not even close.  And the compute costs?  Wow, that's a story for another time!

My first Raspberry Pi RP2350 board has arrived, a Challenger+ RP2350 WiFi 6/BLE5 from ilabs.se/ Let the testing begin!

I need your help. This is for my next video. It is a network monitor built using a Raspberry Pi Pico W. But I need a good name and a design for the face plate. Any name suggestions?

So the new Copilot+ PCs (based on the new Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite/Plus processors) are available for pre-order today and will be available on June 18th. That is about 4 weeks from now. I am particularly interested in the new Prism x86 emulator, as well as the performance/power efficiency. Let the testing begin!

Here is an 8-bit/chiptune-style piece I generated via udio. Let me know what you think! A video about it is coming very soon. #udio #udiomusic

I am doing some more performance-per-watt testing. I hope to test another 3 phones/processors. First up is the Google Tensor G3, which could be relevant soon if Google announces the Pixel 8a with the G3. Here is a graph for the performance/watt. Full video next week.

Which is the best SoC for 2024? Is it the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3? Or maybe the Samsung Exynos 2400? What about the Apple A17 Pro, or the MediaTek Dimensity 9300? Is the Google Tensor G3 a contender?

The first video in my new "AI Weekly Roundup" series over at Android Authority is now live:

What's new in AI this week? Mostly it's all about the drama at OpenAI. Plus news about Meta's Emu Video, the imminent release of Grok to X Premium+ subscribers, and Anthropic's latest model: Claude 2.1.
