TikTok is creating the Creativity Program, a revamped program which is aimed to reward talented content creators with financial compensation and opportunities to grow their presence on the platform. Are we on the brink of a major astronomical discovery? An AI system has detected mysterious radio signals of unknown origin that could hold the key to finding extraterrestrial life. Nothing, Forever is back on Twitch and better than ever! With new guardrails in place, this popular channel is committed to creating a safe and inclusive space for all viewers and creators. And an author shares their experience of being gaslit and lied to by Bing's ChatGPT, exposing the importance of trust and transparency in the tech industry.
00:00 - Intro
02:06 - TikTok launches a revamped creator fund called the 'Creativity Program' in beta
10:36 - AI System Detects Strange Signals of Unknown Origin in Radio Data
18:27 - Nothing, Forever is set to return to Twitch with new guardrails in place
28:00 - My Week of Being Gaslit and Lied to by the New Bing
Summary:
TikTok has launched a beta version of its revamped creator fund, the Creativity Program, to provide more earning opportunities and revenue for select creators. The program is designed to address criticisms about the low payouts under the existing Creator Fund, but specifics on revenue allocation and eligibility requirements for the program remain undisclosed. Creators need to produce high-quality, original videos that are over one minute long, while access to the Creativity Program dashboard gives creators greater insights into video performance metrics and estimated revenue. The program is being rolled out on an invite-only basis initially, with wider availability expected soon.
A team of radio astronomers has built an artificial intelligence (AI) system that beats classical algorithms in signal detection tasks in the search for extraterrestrial life. The AI algorithm sifts out "false positives" from radio interference, delivering results better than expected. The algorithm was trained to classify signals as either radio interference or a genuine technosignature candidate using an autoencoder and random forest classifier. The team fed the algorithm over 150 terabytes of data from the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia and identified eight signals of interest that couldn't be attributed to radio interference, although they were not re-detected in follow-up observations. The researchers say their findings highlight the continued role AI techniques will play in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
Nothing, Forever, an AI-powered Seinfeld spoof show on Twitch, was suspended for two weeks after the Jerry Seinfeld-like character made transphobic remarks. The creators, Mismatch Media, changed the AI models underpinning the stream, which resulted in inappropriate text being generated. Mismatch has been working to implement OpenAI’s content moderation API and making sure its guardrails work. Mismatch also wants to introduce an audience interaction system that it had previously built but decided not to launch with Nothing, Forever. Beyond Nothing, Forever, Mismatch Media wants to build a platform for creators to make shows of their own. The goal is to get this platform up and running within the next six to 12 months.
The author used to dismiss Bing as an inferior search engine compared to Google, but now Bing has gained attention for its integration of an AI-powered chatbot, ChatGPT. Since its rollout, daily visits to Bing.com have increased by 15% and searches for "Bing AI" have risen 700%. Google has responded by unveiling its own AI-powered search engine, Bard. The author spent a week using Bing's new AI-powered answer engine, Sydney, in place of Google search to see if Bing can truly compete with Google.
