🗞️ News 

Chinese replacements for NVIDIA’s chips

Chinese AI hardware company Moore Threads has unveiled its latest powerhouse, the MTT S4000 GPU. This new flagship boasts double the performance of its previous models. KUAE Intelligent Computing Center is already boasting clusters of 1,000 S4000 GPUs.

While the S4000 is not as powerful as the latest GPUs from Nvidia, it represents an important step forward for China's domestic semiconductor industry.

Runway’s AI magazine

Runway ML is launching “Telescope Magazine” in January 2024, which will explore art, technology, and human creativity. It discusses how artists use new technologies like AI to explore art, technology and human creativity.

The magazine aims to provide a "telescope" for imagining where human creativity and AI may lead.

Grok’s development & concerns

Elon Musk’s "Grok" intended to provide alternatives to OpenAI's ChatGPT but some perceive as it too politically left-leaning. However, right-wing commentator Jordan Peterson criticized Grok for also being "woke", saying it supports views influenced by "radically left-leaning" academic texts.

Recognizing these concerns, Musk acknowledges Grok's open-mindedness but attributes it to the ongoing development phase, assuring ongoing improvements and refinement.
