1. Meta Aims for Superhuman AI Dominance 🤖

In an exclusive interview, Mark Zuckerberg reveals Meta's goal to build artificial general intelligence (AGI) and achieve superhuman intelligence capabilities. Meta, formerly known as Facebook, is ramping up its AI research group, FAIR, to develop generative AI products across its apps. With Meta stockpiling an impressive number of NVIDIA GPUs, Zuckerberg is ready to flex the computing power needed to train large language models.

5. WHO Warns of AI Healthcare Dangers on Lower-Income Countries 🚨

The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued new guidelines regarding the use of large multi-modal models (LMMs) in healthcare, cautioning that the introduction of AI technologies could have detrimental effects on people in under-resourced areas. The WHO emphasizes the need for the technology to be shaped by the needs of populations in lower-income countries, rather than being driven solely by wealthy nations and tech companies.

Recreate your photos with this DALL-E powered GPT!

Here’s a quick way to use and combine different powers of GPTs to recreate your photos using AI.

We’re taking a look at a GPT that combines the power of DALL-E and combining it with GPT Vision to show you how to recreate photos.

It’s like copying-and-pasting images with a lil AI Magic. 🪄

🦾How You Can Leverage:

Need an actual return from Generative AI? 

We’ve got the blueprint. 

On today’s show, Jordan laid out the single best way to get an ROI on GenAI: by automating your manual knowledge work with GenAI. 

Yeah, it’s not about calculating costs for a handful of different enterprise GenAI softwares. 

That’s backwards, shorties.

Instead, Jordan did a deepish dive on the concept of manual knowledge work, and a point-by-point breakdown of how to start handing it over to AI. 

In short, knowledge workers are those who use their comprehension skills and critical thinking skills (ie… knowledge!) to grow a company. 

Buuuuuuttt….. large language models like OpenAI’s GPT4, Google’s Gemini and Anthropic’s Claude are the new knowledge workers. 

Sorry y’all, LLMs and GenAI can probably outperform you on (almost) any knowledge task when done properly. 

And way faster.  

So if time equals money, and money equals time, then GenAI prints money by giving you back your time. 

Ready to hit Ctrl+P and print that money/time? 

Let’s get it. 👇

1 – See the GenAI wave rising 🌊️

This can be hard to swallow. 

But Jordan laid out how knowledge work is soooo 2021. Yeah, those decades of expertise don’t mean quite as much as they used to. 

Try this:
Don’t believe us?

Welp, how about this McKinsey & Company study that says “generative AI and other technologies have the potential to automate work activities that absorb 60 to 70 percent of employees’ time today.”

This one’s a TOOOON to take in, so warm up the coffee and get after it. 

2 – Understand your manual work 💡

We’re all on the same page now, right? 

Bet. 

A big piece of advice on getting ROI on GenAI?

Stop looking at shiny GenAI tools, or trying to fit a square ChatGPT into a round biz problem. 

Like Jordan said, focus your first GenAI implementation on where you spend your most manual knowledge work time. 

Whether that time is spent in meetings, learning new things, writing content, analyzing documents or presenting, you’ve gotta start where you spend the most time. 

Try this:

If you didn’t catch our ‘7 Ways to Use AI in Your Business in 2024’ episode, this one a must-listen/must-watch. 

3 – Win back time ⏰️

Mindset right? Check. 

Manual work categorized and prioritized? Check and check. 

Only thing left to do? Put the work in. 

Jordan gave a few examples live on the show, but that doesn’t mean those examples are for you. 

Instead focus first on the one category of work where you’re putting in the most manual hours:
meetings, learning, writing, analysis or presenting. 

Try this:
