PLUS: OpenAI suffers major outage
Hi.
The most important tweet youāll see all week, from the CEO of Scale AI.
one thing that most AI hypers donāt appreciate is just how slowly most of the world changes
most workloads at big banks still are 80%+ on-prem, despite the cloud existing for 16+ years
true AI-everywhere adoption will take decades, despite how mind-blowing the tech is

š Hereās what jobs ChatGPT thinks AI will kill off
I asked ChatGPT which jobs AI would impact.
Hereās what it gave me.
Data Entry Clerk
Telemarketer
Receptionist
Accountant
Driver
Assembly Line Worker
Customer Service Representative
Translator
Security Guard
Surgeon
Notably absent are ānewsletter writersā, so I can rest easy.
Thoughts?

Dang it, even the robots are asleep on the job.
Letās categorize these.
Duh, AI will steamroll these jobs
These make total sense and weāve already seen it happen. Itās a matter of time - one of these startups will execute well and command the market in the next 1-2 years.
Ehhā¦maybe eventually
If these change in the next 2-5 years, I could see them transitioning over to AI. Other technologies will need to adapt to meet the need.
Looooong way off
Large amount of time before AI meaningfully affects these markets. Perhaps used as an aid or in a country with less stringent laws. Thereās just too much trust in humans in the current system.
Now, guess which are in these categories.
Iāll put my rankings at the bottom of this issue.
š AI-powered video editing is a reality
AI brings meaningful improvements to creators.
Case in point: Capsule video.
It just raised another $4.75mm for its AI-powered online video editor.
What does AI-powered mean for a video editor?
Itās a ton of assists on the pst-production side. B-roll generation, speech-to-text, and AI summaries of transcripts.

Hey what up YouTube today weāre an old guy talking about AI
Source: Capsule
So letās say you have a concept for a video.
You can describe that concept along with your footage.
Capsule generates B-roll and fleshes out the entire video concept.
Or you could summarize a section as a title card using AI. No in-depth knowledge needed.
š„š„š„
Another day, another AI demo!This time it's radical new way to add text to videos.
(hint: you donāt need a keyboard)
CapsuleScript + #GenerativeAI = āØ

The thing is, 90% of Capsuleās revenue comes from not the AI product. Their B2B offering is their cash cow.
So, the goal is to capture the newbie creators who want to make content.
AI on-ramps to industries that before required a ton of work are the future.
š¬ AI melts as ChatGPT has its first outage
Earthās global productivity fell by 99% yesterday.
The reason? OpenAI had a massive global outage.
Since every single AI startup builds on OpenAI, and all their APIs are down, this is big.
The outage lasted about four hours and affected all OpenAIās services.

Many said this was a sign to build on different services.
Others said this happens to services like AWS all the time.
How is this different from every company building on AWS?
For one, OpenAI has far fewer services. AWS segments their services so one outage usually doesnāt affect another.
For another, this is the first big outage that OpenAI has faced. There were a ton of people on Twitter complaining about it. Yet hardly any news articles.
When the Facebook crowd starts to complain about the OpenAI outage, weāll have made it.

Doodle to demo.
Good UX design is more important than ever for todayās AI. A model cannot achieve its full potential without the most fluid and intuitive interface.
Hereās a first step towards the future of AI-in-the-loop artistic creation. Imagine making every tool in Photoshop feel like this.
