Adam here! This week, we'll look at OpenAI's SORA and its impact on the creative community, discuss Apple's potential collaboration with Google on AI, and offer highlights from NVIDIA's GTC Keynote.

Also, we've lined up some notable tweets for you and a story about artist David Choe's unique decision with Facebook.

👀 Exploring SORA: First Impressions

OpenAI began the week by sharing the creative community's impressions of SORA. Initially released to a select group of artists and filmmakers last month, the aim was to collect valuable feedback to further tailor SORA for the needs of creative professionals.

Here's what we've learned so far:

• SORA has been a game-changer for creatives, empowering them to go beyond conventional limits and bring to life innovative, previously unattainable concepts.

• The newfound freedom from traditional budgetary, time, and resource restrictions is a significant boon, as SORA provides a more liberated space to conceive and test new ideas.

• The platform opens up a broader spectrum for storytelling, enabling the visualization of complex, technically demanding narratives that were once challenging to achieve.

This initial feedback is instrumental as OpenAI continues to refine SORA, ensuring it becomes an invaluable tool in the creative process.

In the blog post, you can explore the seven examples crafted by the artists using SORA.

👨‍💻 Tech Talk: Apple's Potential AI Collaboration with Google

Apple and Google are reportedly in discussions about integrating Google's generative AI model, Gemini, into future iPhones. This collaboration could mark a significant shift for Apple, known for its in-house development and focus on privacy.

• AI Takes Center Stage: As hardware advancements slow, the emphasis is shifting towards software innovations. Gemini's potential inclusion in iOS could make the operating system the star of the next iPhone release.

• Privacy Considerations: Apple's strong stance on user privacy means any integration with Gemini must be carefully managed to align with Apple’s values.

• Generative AI's Challenges: The integration of Gemini, despite its advanced capabilities, comes with its own set of challenges, including the accuracy and appropriateness of its outputs.

• Apple's Own AI Developments: Amidst these talks, Apple isn't sitting idle. It recently acquired Darwin AI and is developing its own generative AI model, MM1, showcasing Apple's ongoing commitment to AI.

This potential partnership could redefine the iPhone experience, blending Apple's hardware and software prowess with Google's AI expertise. However, the final outcome remains to be seen, with both companies navigating the complexities of generative AI and user privacy.

David Choe's Artistic Gamble with Facebook: In 2005, artist David Choe made an unconventional choice. He accepted stock options instead of a cash payment for painting a mural for a then little-known tech startup, Facebook. This decision paid off in 2012 when Facebook went public, and Choe's shares were valued at $200 million. However, had he retained his shares, they could have been worth over $2 billion today.
