OpenAI delays launch of custom GPT store until early 2024

OpenAI is postponing the GPT Store launch until early next year, as revealed in a memo to developers. Originally slated for last month, the store enables the distribution of custom ChatGPT versions. The delay follows unexpected developments, and for now, custom GPTs can be shared via direct links. The GPT Store aims to provide broader distribution, and OpenAI plans to share revenue from ChatGPT Plus subscriptions with successful creators, though details are pending. Despite recent turmoil, OpenAI assures developers of upcoming ChatGPT updates.

Intellectual Property (IP) law is crucial within AI advancements

Intellectual property law has shaped the internet for three decades. Now, it will shape the way we use generative AI.

The Biden administration's recent executive order contained no initial guidance on copyright law and AI. This means these decisions will largely be left up to the courts. Last month, a group of nonfiction writers brought a class action complaint against OpenAI and Microsoft, accusing the companies of using copyrighted materials to train ChatGPT without authors' permission.

We're about to enter a golden age for copyright trolls. Just as patent trolls extract money from companies who create commonly used technology, copyright trolls will buy rights from creators or create works "solely for the purpose of going out and enforcing the copyright on them and shaking people down”.

Google’s AI division discovers 800 years worth of knowledge

DeepMind, Google’s AI division, unlocks “800 years’ worth of knowledge.” Claims after discovering 2.2 million new crystals. The materials found through the research could be used to transform industries, DeepMind said, while simultaneously opening up brand new avenues for making future discoveries.

Of the 2.2 million crystals, roughly 380,000 are stable enough for developing next-generation technologies. Ranging from better electric car batteries to superconductors for ultra-efficient computers.

iA Writer 7 launches inclusive & creative AI writing feature

We Love iA Writer 7’s Ethos on AI: Rather than letting AI become a “ghostwriter” that “takes over” and makes you “lose your voice,” iA Writer’s feature is designed to encourage you to use AI “as a dialog partner” that “makes you think more and write better.”

The software’s latest version has a new feature that’s designed to clearly mark text contributed by generative AI systems like ChatGPT.

The feature is less about detecting plagiarism or watermarking AI-generated content. But more about giving creatives a tool to see the sometimes blurry line between their own words and those contributed by generative AI.

AI fatigue, sales challenges, and the problem of getting big: Inside growing tension at AWS

AWS remains the leading cloud provider, contributing significantly to Amazon's profits. However, its growth rate has slowed, with missed sales targets in specific segments, raising concerns. Internal tensions include a perceived prioritization of customer satisfaction over employee well-being, leading to a more bureaucratic culture.

Challenges in sales and employee retention: AWS is falling short of sales goals in startups and small businesses, particularly in 2023. High-profile executive departures and burnout contribute to employee attrition. Despite leadership's reassurances, there's a rising sentiment of uncertainty and dissatisfaction among the workforce.

Strategic shifts amidst AI push: The emergence of generative AI poses a challenge as AWS faces increased competition from Microsoft and Google. Employees report "AI fatigue" due to constant pressure to sell AWS's AI products, leading to burnout. AWS's response includes a differentiated plan and new initiatives like Bedrock, aiming to address concerns and maintain its edge in the evolving AI landscape.
