PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT

Look into the machine’s mind

Struggling to understand how generative AI chatbots work? No judgments here — some of us are visual learners.

Try this instead: Look Into The Machine’s Mind. This website shows how ChatGPT would respond to a prompt. The researcher behind it, Santiago Ortiz, gave the API the prompt “Intelligence is…” hundreds of times and created visualizations of the responses.

“Given a text, a Large Language Model assigns a probability for the word (token) to come, and it just repeats this process until a completion is…well, complete,” explained Ortiz.

The tree visualization shows the calculated probability of a word following a text, while the cool-looking cube is a representation of the same tree, with trajectories that bifurcate. They “progress towards longer and less probable sub-sequences of responses.” 😻

Talking points from Planet Internet

🤖 New Spatial Persona avatars from Apple. Do these weird ghost-like apparitions make you feel less lonely? They’re supposed to. Apple Vision Pro users were reporting feeling disconnected, so Apple broke avatars out of their restricted windows and plopped them next to you so that working together or playing games can feel more natural. Yes, totally natural. (I’m obviously not sold but others are).

🧠 That’s a no-go from Lego. Lego had to ask a police department in California to stop cropping Lego heads onto suspect’s heads. The department is known for getting creative with its booking photos to protect the reputation of people who may be found innocent, but it turns out Lego couldn’t let it go.
