đŸ€– đŸ›ïž Have you ever wondered about the connection between AI and Ancient Greek Philosophy?

🧔 📜 The ancient Greek philosophers, such as Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, Democritus, Epicurus and Heraclitus explored the nature of intelligence and consciousness thousands of years ago, and their ideas are still relevant today in the age of AI.

🧠 📚 Aristotle believed that there are different levels of intelligence, ranging from inanimate objects to human beings, with each level having a distinct form of intelligence. In the context of AI, this idea raises questions about the nature of machine intelligence and where it falls in the spectrum of intelligence. Meanwhile, Plato believed that knowledge is innate and can be discovered through reason and contemplation. This view has implications for AI, as it suggests that a machine could potentially have access to all knowledge, but it may not necessarily understand it in the same way that a human would.

ChatGPT 4O can now speak and sing in real time. It can even view the real world through your phone’s camera and describe what’s happening in real time.


The AI race has just shifted into high gear, with US artificial intelligence pioneers OpenAI rolling out its new interface that works with audio and vision as well as text. The new model, called GPT-4o, has gone beyond the familiar chat-bot features and is capable of real-time, near-natural voice conversations. The developer OpenAI will also make it available to free users.

ChatGPT was already able to talk to users, but with long pauses to process the data. It often seemed a bit sluggish. This was because the feature required three internal applications, the company explained: transcribing the spoken text, processing and generating, and converting the response to speech. This caused delays.

The intricate dance of atoms fusing and releasing energy has fascinated scientists for decades. Now, human ingenuity and artificial intelligence are coming together at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) to solve one of humankind’s most pressing issues: generating clean, reliable energy from fusing plasma.
