🎥  Engineers build a doxxing app with Meta’s new glasses

This app, thankfully, was not created for commercial use, but rather to highlight privacy concerns that come with smart-glasses. This app uses facial recognition AI to scour the internet for a person’s public images, their online profiles, voter registration information, and more. Learn more about “The most dystopian app ever” in this video!

🧑‍🔬 AI Chefs and Architects: The latest in AI research

Chef Dalle: Transforming Cooking with Multi-Model Multimodal AI - This paper introduces Chef Dalle, a recipe recommendation system that leverages multi-model and multimodal human-computer interaction (HCI) techniques to provide personalized cooking guidance. The application integrates voice-to-text conversion via Whisper and ingredient image recognition through GPT-Vision.

Sketch-to-Architecture: Generative AI-aided Architectural Design -  By using generative AI, this paper presents a novel workflow that utilizes AI models to generate conceptual floor plans and 3D models from simple sketches, enabling rapid ideation and controlled generation of architectural renderings based on textual descriptions.

🏇 How DocLLM can Change the Multimodal Landscape and the Best Techniques for OSS Contributions

Paper Breakdown: Everything you need to know about the multimodal DocLLM- This article reviews a paper introducing the DocLLM, a lightweight extension of traditional large language models (LLMs) designed to understand visually rich documents like forms, invoices, receipts, and reports.

Lone Wolf vs Community: The Benefits of Open Source Software - This blog post will help you overcome challenges faced when duplicating existing projects and using open-source software. We’ll guide you through embracing OSS, reusing old code, and contributing to existing projects.

🐝 Social Media Buzz: Elon Musk replies ‘Interesting’ to a post on how to cheat on coding interviews

🎤 The AI Minds Podcast!

We are joined by Andrew Seagaves, VP of Research at Deepgram, who explores text-to-speech (TTS) technology and language modeling. With a PhD from MIT and a background in AI-driven explosive design, Andrew now leads advanced speech recognition research. 

He discusses the challenges of creating natural-sounding TTS systems, the role of context conditioning, and his career journey from MIT to Deepgram.

🤖 Bonus Bits and Bytes!

• AI Will Replace These Jobs First: A Warning From OpenAI’s Chief Of Research - Title says it all. Do you think McGrew’s predictions will hold true, as many others have? Or are these arguments simply the product of hype?

• AI can make you more creative—but it has limits - This MIT Technology Review article suggests that although AI can boost individuals’ creativity, it seems to homogenize and flatten our collective output.

• Masterclass in Prompt Engineering: A Directory - Make your outputs grow significantly in quality with these tutorials, tips, and tricks on prompt engineering!

• Dimensionality Reduction: AI Researchers’ Secret Weapon - Sometimes data is too densely packed to do anything useful in a feasible amount of time. In order to optimize memory and GPU efficiency, we resort to techniques like Dimensionality Reduciton, which you can learn about here!
