🎥 Is OpenAI’s o3-mini actually good?

Sam Altman released o3-mini on Friday, and programmers have had the entire weekend to play with it. So what’s the verdict? Comments on this video seem mixed. Twitter, on the other hand, has its own opinions. Check out this video to see OpenAI’s latest tech in action!

🔍 Detecting AI Music and Deepfake Online Payments

AI-Generated Music Detection and its Challenges - This paper demonstrates the possibility (and surprising ease) of training classifiers on datasets comprising real audio and artificial reconstructions, achieving a convincing accuracy of 99.8%. But a good test score isn’t the end of the story…

Detection of AI Deepfake and Fraud in Online Payments Using GAN-Based Models - This study explores the use of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to detect AI deepfakes and fraudulent activities in online payment systems. It proposes a novel GAN-based model that enhances online payment security by identifying subtle manipulations in payment images.
