  • #121 - Top researcher leaves Google, trademarking ”GPT”, Stability AI’s new models, 50% of AI ’Catastrophe’, DrakeGPT

    Our 121st episode with a summary and discussion of last week's big AI news!

    Read out our text newsletter at https://lastweekin.ai/

    Check out Jeremie's new book Quantum Physics Made Me Do It

    Quantum Physics Made Me Do It tells the story of human self-understanding through the lens of physics. It explores what we can and can’t know about reality, and how tiny tweaks to quantum theory can reshape our entire picture of the universe. And because I couldn't resist, it explains what that story means for AI and the future of sentience
