Our "Riddle of the Beginning" debate (with the great Scott Aaronson and the eminent Pria Natarayan) is online. (I remember I was a bit flummoxed by how some of my interlocutors seem actually no longer curious about this question...) iai.tv/video/the-riddle-of-t…

It’s amazing to me how you can now “ask” an AI agent to make updates in your ERP system and have those updates executed.
Take a look at the demo here:
Starting at about minute 12:50 in this demo by Amazon of a Nova-powered agent updating an order in SAP…

I read Google's paper about their quantum computer so you don't have to.
They claim to have ran a quantum computation in 5 minutes that would take a normal computer 10^25 years.
But what was that computation? Does it live up to the hype?
I will break it down.🧵

Employees are taking advantage of GenAI to ask for business insights in plain language. Amazon Q Business is an example enabler of this capability. Yesterday Amazon announced updates to Amazon Q.

Seems positive that they’re focused on offering lower cost alternatives.
Unexpected. @amazon is back with Foundation Models. As part of re:Invent they announced 6 new foundation models from text only to text-to-video! 👀 Nova models will be exclusively available through Amazon Bedrock.
TL;DR;
🧠 Micro (text-only), Lite (multimodal), Pro (high-capability), and Premier (coming 2025)
🎨 Canvas (image-generation) and Reel (video-generation)
📊 Context length up to 300K tokens and 200+ languages
🥇 Performance on benchmarks similar to Llama 3
🗺️ Models currently only available in AWS Regions in the US
🔒 Includes watermarking capabilities (no details here)
🔧 Can be fine-tuned inside Amazon Bedrock
💰 Micro: $0.035 / $0.14; Lite: $0.06 / $0.24; Pro: $0.80 / $3.20 per million input/output tokens

@rohanpaul_ai I was thinking about the article you posted on how LLMs can navigate GUIs to carry out tasks for a person, all based just on a person's instructions. 1 / 2
Here's the paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2411.18279
So my thought is: if LLMs can do this, why do we even need GUIs anymore?

Good to be aware of if your job is securing applications that use LLMs.
