👑 The Rebels Have Come For NVIDIA’s Crown

... and Did Someone Say Beer? You Betcha! BONUS: SuperMEME!!

Hello, fellow nerds 🧙

So a professor offered their students “amnesty” if they came forward about using ChatGPT on their assignments… and 23 out of 25 admitted getting a little AI help.

Hot take: Well, whether that professor likes it or not, AI is definitely here to stay. Instead of trying to catch students red-handed, maybe it's time to embrace the future and teach students how to responsibly use AI.

A wise man once said, “Banning ChatGPT is like trying to put toothpaste back in the tube… it ain’t gonna happen.”

Here’s the daily quests in AI to complete today:

There’s a New Supergroup Forming to Challenge NVIDIA’s AI Throne

Ever since the AI revolution began, NVIDIA has been the unquestionable king from day one. And rightfully so. They’ve got their hardware, specifically the CUDA chip, acting as the AI backbone in damn near every industry.

And the competition isn’t even close.

Well, until now. There happens to be a new rebellious supergroup forming to challenge the throne and boy, these are some heavy-hitting tech titans.

This lineup is stacked: 

  • Intel

  • Google

  • Arm

  • Qualcomm

  • Samsung

Recognize any of them? All household names. And like any good supergroup, you need a great name. Their choice? The Mighty Morphin’ Power—

Jkjk.

They settled on… UXL. Lame, we know.

But their mission is far from lame.
Team UXL plans to create an open-source AI software suite that can run on any piece of hardware using Intel’s OneAPI, not just NVIDIA’s CUDA chip —which, right now, is really the only way to develop any AI worth a damn.

Now this is a very admirable goal, and if UXL gets traction, we see it as an absolute buff for the entire AI industry as a whole.

Besides, doesn’t competition breed innovation?

Watch Out Food Critics… AI Can Taste

Did someone say beer? You betcha!

In a sudden turn of events, an AI model was trained on 250 Belgian beers over the course of 5 years to predict how a beer will taste.

The main goal of the model was to identify and understand flavors and how various compounds interact to create them.

The nerds in us love the fact that they were able to cross reference the varying compounds, such as lactic acid, with the flavor profile of sour beers.

For example: by teaching the AI to recognize which distinct flavors critics could taste in each beer, the model was able to predict how to adjust NA beer to taste more like its alcoholic counterpart.

And you guessed it, a blind taste test proved it works!

Of course, experienced brewmeisters are still on a pedestal since the AI itself isn’t doing the brewing… at least not yet.
