Large language models like GPT-3 and OPT-17B are expensive to build and train, and give their creators a competitive advantage.
Did the Curiosity rover photograph a doorway on Mars? Product placement is set to go to the next level. Self-shading windows. Researchers accidentally discover graphene-based water-repellent coatings. A delivery robot goes for a leisurely stroll in the woods. Edible tape for securing burritos and other wraps. Deleted Wikipedia articles live on in the Deletionpedia. Artle, a fine art-based version of Wordle. The world’s most inconvenient convenience store. “Strollers as a service.” Google’s AI can now get jokes. All that and more in WhatTheyThink’s weekly miscellany.
In this edition of Deep Science, we highlight new research that illustrates the potential benefits of combining vision and language AI systems.
Google's new AI system, PaLM, is seriously good at explaining jokes. Its understanding of comedy shows language models are improving rapidly.
