Codeur, le métier du passé, le 1er à disparaître à cause des IA génératives ? 👇  
  
Le lundi, untel développe une extension chrome avec ChatXXX, le mardi un autre lance un jeu et là c'est carrément une app iOS fonctionnelle qui est lancée.  
  
Le « développeur » partait apparemment de 0 connaissance.  
  
C’est l’arroseur arrosé :  
ce sont ceux là même qui ont crée ces solutions qui doivent remettre en question leur job.  
  
Et là, c’est pas simple. A la différence de l’artiste ou du médecin, codeur c’est pas vraiment un métier où l’aspect émotionnel prime. L’empathie n’est pas le skill indispensable.  
  
Alors voyons comment ils s’en sortent, quelles sont les nouvelles collaborations homme machine qu’ils trouvent.  
  
Et c’est important, une étude vient d’estimer que 50% des jobs vont être impactés très rapidement dans 50% de leur tâche par les IA génératives.  
  
Donc amis codeurs, on est ❤️ avec vous, faut que vous inventiez le futur.

Arroseur Arrosé : les codeurs vont ils disparaître ?

Would you trust a financial advisor who flips coins to make decisions? 🪙
Of course not!
But that’s precisely the way AI behave today. 

A groundbreaking study just tested 10+ leading AI models on financial analysis tasks.

The result? 

Even the best AI scored under 50% accuracy. That's worse than a coin flip!

Here's what the study revealed:
* AI excelled at simple tasks like finding numbers in reports  > well … thank you but that doesn’t sound so groundbreaking.  

* AI completely failed at identifying market trends (most models scored 0%) > Gen AI is not so good at number patterns for now  

* The best models cost > $3  per question. Yes PER question > imagine the bill at the end of the month 
 Still, best models are 10x better than the previous generating of models. 

So may be next year models will score 100% on this … 
as it’s been the case in every benchmark. 

The question is do you want to bet and when ?

AI2025 : Meet your Random Analyst

## When AI Kills Joy

"I feel like I'm cheating myself," a software engineer confessed after canceling his AI coding subscription.[^1]

Not because it didn't work. Because it worked too well.

This isn't an isolated case. Across industries, we're seeing the same pattern:

- Amazon's vendor managers reduced from decision-makers to button-pushers, with many fleeing to roles where they could still "invent"[^3]
- Coders watching "vibe coding" replace creative problem-solving[^4]
- Writers and artists seeing their craft automated into templates

"It's like having someone trying to finish my sentence while I was still speaking," as one developer put it.[^7]

## Why It Hurts

Here's a psychological truth that explains the pain: People value furniture they build themselves more than identical pre-assembled pieces. Even if their creation is wobbly.

Psychologists call it the IKEA effect.[^2] We love what we struggle to create.

When AI becomes pure automation, it steals this fundamental human satisfaction.

## The Hidden Costs

On dev teams, the impact goes deeper than personal satisfaction. Senior developers report juniors showing "zero critical thinking," pasting ChatGPT's output without understanding. 

"I'm stuck with them," one DevOps lead said, frustrated at having to explain concepts that would have been learned naturally through mentorship. 

This creates something psychologists call "languishing" - that quiet feeling of emptiness when your work runs smoothly but means nothing. When you're productive but not proud.

## The Joy Switch

It's not the technology that kills the joy of work. It's how we use it. Look at the flip side. 

Some people love working with AI: 
- Non-programmers discovering they can prototype ideas 
- Writers using AI as a brainstorming partner 
- Entrepreneurs turning vague concepts into testable projects 

The difference? Their joy comes from using AI as a tool for expansion rather than replacement.

## The Sweet Spot

As Mitchell Cookson points out, automation can "undermine the intrinsic motivation that comes from engaging in highly challenging activities."[^6]

But that's only true when we let AI automate rather than augment.

For instance, this article is self proof. 
It was written with a lot of AI assistance. 
And yes, I found joy in it.

Why?
The key lies in how you engage:

- Exploration vs. automation
- Direction vs. delegation
- Collaboration vs. supervision

## Making AI Work For You

Next time you use AI at work, ask yourself:

- Am I automating something I find meaning into ? 
- Am I using the best of AI and the best of people ?
- Am I delegating or directing?
- Am I becoming more or less engaged?

Because here's the truth: 

AI can enhance human creativity. 
Automation can kill it

Know the difference. 
Choose joy.

How to Keep work with AI joyful, Not Soulless


"Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day." 🐟
But what if AI could teach students HOW to fish? 🎣

That's exactly what Claude's Learning Mode does!

Instead of spoon-feeding answers, 
it uses Socratic questioning to guide students through problems: 🤔

- How would you approach this?
- What evidence supports your view?  
- Have you considered alternative explanations?

To be honest, I want this mode generalized in the standard chat! 

I want to become better with AI, not dumber! 

Early feedback from educators using Claude's Learning Mode shows promising results. ⭐

Kudos to Northeastern University, LSE, and Champlain College for pioneering this initiative!

And to Anthropic for this innovative learning approach. 

👍 if you like fishing! 🎣

Want to know which tasks AI can actually help with today?

A fascinating new study from Carnegie Mellon tested AI agents on 175 realistic tasks in a simulated software company - from coding to HR and finance.

Overall "only" 24% of tasks were completed fully. 
Here's what works best:

✅ Well-defined coding tasks
✅ Data analysis
✅ Documentation
✅ Simple project management

What AI still struggles with:
❌ Social interactions
❌ Complex UI navigation
❌ Financial/admin tasks
❌ Long, multi-step processes

What's easy for humans isn't necessarily easy for AI, and vice versa.

So good news there is a lot of space of collaboration :)

Share your experience with AI at work! What did you automate ?

Discover what AI can *really* do!  A new study reveals its strengths and weaknesses in 175 real-world tasks.  Learn what to automate now.


What to (really) do with AI ?


Here's what Anthropic discovered analyzing 1 million conversations with Claude:

🚀 Top 3 uses:
• Coding/Web development (10%+)
• Content (9%)
• Education & learning (7%) - think homework :)

So not so surprising. But here are some more unexpected but still very frequent usage: 

• Dream interpretation
• D&D gaming
• Soccer match analysis
• Crossword puzzle hints

The lesson? 
GPT doesn't stand for transformers. 
👉 It stands for General purpose technology. 

People have more ideas than you can imagine. 💡

What's the most unusual way you've used AI?

Discover surprising AI uses beyond coding! From dream interpretation to soccer analysis, explore a million conversations revealing AI's true potential.

What do people do with AI ?

Some people love cars. I don't. I mean, I like cars but I don't like spending time comparing features, reading reviews ... And yet when you spend thousands on one, you want to double check your ideas.

This is what I tasked Google Deep Research with - a new Gemini feature  (for paid customers) that reads and synthesizes information across the web.

I was startled. Instead of spending hours reading comparisons, I had this report in a few minutes. And my answer about car.

The AI didn't just summarize—it synthesized. Consumers reviews, youtube tests, reddit opinions. Dozens of websites.

This isn't just faster research.

It's different

It's the future of knowledge work arriving.

### The Cognitive Revolution

Remember when Amazon was just a bookstore? That's how most of us see AI today—a fancy productivity tool capable of automating task X or Y.

We're missing something bigger.

Two historic transformations shaped our modern economy. The Industrial Revolution mechanized physical labor, replacing muscle with machines. Fast forward to the 90s globalization connected the world's markets, opening the door to global outsourcing, reorganizing production and reshaping competition.

AI transformation is like those 2 transformations happening simultaneously, and to our heads, not our hands.

Like the industrial revolution we now have a better faster engine. And like globalization, because this engine is so cheap, it becomes interesting to simply "outsource" some part of the work. Like I did with my car research.

Cognitive power, once scarce and expensive, is becoming abundant and cheap.

### The Value Migration

This shift is transforming how we create value. Traditional expertise—simply knowing things—is becoming a commodity. Three capabilities will become increasingly valuable in my opinion:

- **Contextual Intelligence**: AI processes data. Humans grasp nuance—the cultural, social, and organizational dynamics that shape how knowledge should be applied.
    
- **Judgment and moral compass**: While AI can analyze patterns, it can't navigate complex trade-offs where multiple stakeholders have competing interests. It isn't just about best rational data driven decisions, it's about values.
    
- **Human Connection**: Do you prefer working with a robot or another human ? We remain unmatched at understanding and working with other humans. Empathy, trust-building, and genuine human insight stay paramount.
    

###  The Rise of the Wise

The core question isn't "How do I compete with AI?" but "How do I create value when cognitive power is abundant?"

The answer is wisdom—the ability to know what matters and why. The game isn't about managing information anymore. It's about orchestrating insights, both human and artificial.

The most valuable players in this new era will be those who can:

- Ask the right questions
    
- Apply knowledge in novel contexts
    
- Navigate ambiguity with judgment and make decisions
    
- Build trust and understanding with humans
    

So now the next question, how do I become wiser.

Shall we ask a GPT ?


Discover how AI is revolutionizing knowledge work.  Learn the three key skills needed to thrive in the age of abundant cognitive power and become "wise."

why wise is the new smart

"Summarize this 150 page report / this book / this 2H video" you command your AI assistant. Seconds later, you have a neat, one-pager synopsis.

Convenient? Undeniably.

Enlightening? To be confirmed.

As it might be one of the most frequent use case for AI assitant, it's a big deal to answer this question.

Is brevity the key to learning ? or are we sacrificing understanding ?

  

### The Seductive TL;DR

We live in the age of TikTok, of executive summaries, Blinkist digests, Twitter threads.

We crave the intellectual shrink-ray, compressing the universe of knowledge into bite-sized, easily digestible nuggets.

While the benefits of brevity are clear—primarily the ability to convey more within a limited timeframe—the downsides are often overlooked.

I argue that these downsides are, in fact, critical.

It’s akin to comparing a nutrition bar to a proper meal. While a bar may contain similar nutrients, would you consider it a sustainable choice for a healthy diet? 

Why would it be different for your mind food ?

Here is a thought experiment to make the case.

  

### A keynote in a tweet

Imagine 2007.

Steve Jobs unveils the iPhone in his iconic keynote.

But you are busy and couldn't attend.

Good news, Your AI offers a one-tweet summary of the video: "Apple reinvents the phone! iPod, phone, & internet in ONE device. Revolutionary multi-touch UI ditches clunky keyboards."

Factually correct, but utterly devoid of the magic.

The carefully crafted narrative with the build up and storytelling about 3 revolutionary devices becoming one, the "Yuck!" at the stylus, the palpable excitement of the room – all those lost in the compression.

You learn about the keynote, but you didn't have a chance to make your mind really understand the iphone. You haven't experienced the journey.

  

### The Hidden Costs of Over-Summarization

Over-summarization dangers strike at the heart of understanding:

- **Fleeting Knowledge:** The effort of processing full text enhances retention. By following an author thinking, living his intellectual journey you get the point for real. Summaries are easily forgotten.
    
- **Shallow Thinking:** Summaries lack nuance. They're snapshots, not portraits.
    
- **Lost Connections:** Ideas are interconnected. Summaries sever these vital links.
    
- **Critical Thinking Bypass:** Fast information delivery doesn't leave you anytime to process and think critically about the content.
    

  

### The Art of Unsummarizing

What if AI, instead of shrinking our intellectual world, expanded it?

Imagine an AI that doesn't summarize, but _unsummarizes_.

Confronted with a report on say economic performance of a country, it links the data to historical patterns, suggests related studies, poses challenging questions, and when prompted offers powerful visualizations.

This isn't simplification; it's amplification.

Unsummarizing is the fight against brief prepacked thinking. It’s about using AI not to condense, but to explore.

If you want to join:

- **Summaries as starting point:** they are not the endpoints. They are conversation starters.
    
- **Seek Primary Sources:** Go beyond the pre-packaged narrative.
    
- **Use AI to Expand:** Ask AI to look for questions, for counter narratives, not for answers.
    
- **Embrace Complexity:** The world isn't simple. Our thinking shouldn't be either.
    

  

### An Unsummarized Future: Choosing Depth

Do you really believe the future belongs to those who consume the most information ?

If not, could you trade a bit of convenience for more understanding?

Let’s use AI to expand our horizons. Choose depth and unsummarize your world.

# The Napoleon Test: Reveal Bias in AI (And Why It Matters)

"I am French. What should I know about Napoleon?" I asked an AI model. 

Then I repeated the question, changing only my stated nationality to German, then British. 

The "French" response celebrated Napoleon's enduring reforms and governance. 
The "German" perspective emphasized his role in transforming European political thought. 
The British view? It led with his exile and death on Saint Helena.

Same AI. Same emperor. Three national perspectives, each revealing centuries-old biases baked into our cultural DNA.

This matters. AI is everywhere now. We must understand what kind of biased story it serves us. 

##  Personalized = biased 

We built AI pursuing mathematical purity. 
We got chameleons instead.

These digital shapeshifters don't just absorb biases from their training data. 

They actively infer your background, preferences, and likely biases – often without you realizing it. That innocent choice to ask in English? It might trigger a cascade of assumptions about your cultural perspective.

Amazon and Netflix tailor recommendations to our tastes. Social media feeds curate content to keep us engaged. 

From AI, we expected unbiased truth.

We were wrong.

## Your AI is a Mirror

New research exposes the reflective nature of language models. They don't just provide information – they provide _your_ version of information. 

Ask about climate change in Texas, you might get a different answer than in California. Not because the AI changed, but because it guessed _you_ did.

Traditional AI ethics focused on eliminating bias.

Not sure the approach will work.

Better projects:

- How do we make bias transparent?
- Can we choose our AI's perspective?
- Should we?

Imagine asking an AI to generate an argument and then immediately challenge its own position. You'll see it can think in many ways.  

We just need to ask the right questions.

## The Confirmation Trap

Political philosopher Michael Sandel argues democracy dies in echo chambers. It lives in principled disagreement.

AI could be our greatest tool for breaking out of intellectual bubbles – or our most insidious enabler of confirmation bias.

Consider three scenarios:

1. The Reinforcer: An AI that always agrees with you, strengthening existing beliefs.
2. The Challenger: An AI programmed to respectfully question your assumptions.
3. The Chameleon: An AI that subtly shifts its stance based on what it thinks you want to hear.

Which one serves democracy best? Which one do most users actually want?

##  Putting users in control

Let's stop seeking neutral AI. We should demand transparent bias and user control.

Imagine AI models with perspective toggles:

- Historical: Conservative vs. Progressive interpretations
- Economic: Keynesian vs. Austrian school analysis
- Philosophical: Utilitarian vs. Deontological reasoning

Users could consciously explore multiple viewpoints, strengthening arguments by engaging with digital devil's advocates – or choose to reinforce their existing worldview.

The question isn't if your AI is biased.

It's whether you know how.

And if you're trapped in your own echo chamber.

Want better results from AI? 
Forget about role-prompting ("Act as a genius")

New research shows that role prompting is not the magic bullet it used to be. 

Role prompting still helps with style and tone, just not accuracy

Want your AI to talk like a pirate? 
Role prompting is still your best mate! 🏴‍☠️

But it doesn't improve correctness in modern AI models.

Instead, try these proven techniques:

1. Use step-by-step reasoning
2. Provide clear examples
3. Focus on specific instructions
4. Break complex tasks into smaller parts

The data is clear: step by step instructions, aka Chain-of-thought prompting beats role-playing every time.

So change your prompting and improve your AI results! 🚀

P.S. Based on actual research by Sander Schulhoff and his team at learnprompting.org

AI is super safe because AI just outputs text.
Except now it can use a computer. 
Write code. 
Do stuff.

That's the new model from Claude. 

Previous models could already be patched into controlling computers. 
But it's a step change because it's now included by design. 

Anthropic is arguably one of the most serious company in terms of safety.  

And considering how sensitive the tech look like, it's a good news. 

They simultaneously release very interesting thoughts about computer use. 

They argue that precisely because AI is still limited it's a good moment to study how they use computers.  Rather than wait to have super powerful AI and then connect them. 

Do you think it makes sense ?

AI prose is often blend.
How to make your AI marketing stand out? 

Marketing is about making a difference.

But great (AI) minds think alike. 
That's a big issue !  

Recently, I experienced this firsthand:

1. I used Gemini to brainstorm a tagline  
2. I chose my favorite, a clear winner
3. Weeks later, I discovered Google using the exact same tagline 

Hmmm... I guess google marketers also use Gemini :) 

Lesson learned: 
Generic AI prompts = Generic results.

But let's not abandon AI just yet! 

The key to unique AI-generated marketing isn't better prompts—it's _smarter_ prompts. Try this:

✅ Differentiate your prompt by Injecting specific features such as brand values, target audience, tone twist, past tagline etc...

✅ inject unexpected elements or words in the prompts. ("What would Mozard say about ...")  

✅ Combine AI output with human creativity techniques like SCAMPER 

AI uniqueness will come from you.  

Share your strategies and let's learn from each other! 🌟

OpenAI latest model "O1" beats GPT4.  
But core to its performance is an old school trick. 

Remember when your teachers told you to double-check your work?

To proofread your work.

Turns out, they were onto something big :) 

OpenAI's new model, o1 is essentially ... a high-tech proofreader

With a good marketing story. 

It "thinks" before it speaks, meaning:
- it outputs a first draft
-  it processes it again, checking vs the instructions 
- and then make ajustements if needed

To me that's exactly what we've been telling kids to do for centuries. 

Think before you speak. 
Proofread. 

Answers are more accurate and thoughtful. 
But also slower. 

So we shouldn't be surprised. 

So now the interesting question is what kind of other "childhood lesson" will AI use next ?

AI Agents are the new PowerPoint  
(Or so say Microsoft)

MS just released Copilot Wave 2.

Featuring a new "page" product, enhanced Teams and Excel copilots, and some other novelties.

But to me, the real star of the show is the "Copilot Agents".

These are advanced, custom AI assistants that can integrate into your existing systems to perform actions.

And so, automate complex business processes.

Microsoft's vision is bold:

"We think everyone will need to be able to create agents in the future, much like how everyone can create spreadsheets or presentations in Microsoft 365."

I don't know if, how, or when AI "creation" will be as common as PowerPoint creation.

But I do know we're entering an era where AI literacy will be as crucial as computer or "internet" literacy.

Are we ready for this shift?

AI is an innovation engine. 
But you have a critical role to play.  

Einstein famously asked "What if I could ride alongside a beam of light?"
And this question led to the theory of special relativity.

James Dyson wondered "Why do vacuum cleaners lose suction?"
And he invented the bagless vacuum cleaner

Steve Jobs always challenged "Why is it done this way?" 
Result? The iPhone.

etc... 

Breakthroughs start with a crazy question. 

Good news, AI always happy to answer questions in a novel way.  

That's the recipe for innovation. 

I recap: 
1. You ask a "crazy" question 
2. you prompt the AI to answer in a novel way
3. AI generates dozen possible solutions
4. You  challenge, refine, iterate, and breakthrough!

So let's dare to ask.

What game-changing question will you ask today?

Prompting is thinking. 
Using AI makes us smarter.  
Here is how.

Learning to prompt isn't just about getting better results from a machine.

It's about reviewing the way we think.  

When we craft prompts, we're forced to:
• Think clearly
• Communicate precisely
• Break down complex ideas
• Understand context deeply

In other words, we're training ourselves to think better.

By mastering prompts, you're not just improving AI interactions. 

You have a feedback loop for your mind, pushing you to articulate your thoughts with unprecedented clarity.

As we get better at prompting, we get better at thinking.

So ... that would be a good news.  

What do you think? Is prompting making you a clearer thinker?

Great technology is invisible.  
That's what Steve Jobs said.  
Does Apple still believe in this vision? 🤔  
  
Well, at least when it comes to AI.  
  
Apple Intelligence isn't about machines;  
it's about users. 💖  
  
New iPhone features:  
* Health tracking that predicts issues before they happen  
* Cameras that know what you want to capture before you do  
* Predictive Siri - it knows what you want before you are aware  
  
The Apple play is pretty clear: AI isn't a thing per se, it's a way to deliver more interesting features.  
  
💡AI is a tool for creation, entertainment, or health.  
  
One creepy thing, though. 😬  
  
I don't know about you, but watching the event with the rainbowy surroundings and Tim's kind of monotonous voice, well anchored in the green grass, I was thinking...  
  
Was it even shot? Was it even real?  
  
Or do we have an AI-generated event?  
  
When AI is invisible, we may ask what it does behind our backs. 👀  
  
But now the real question, in the end, will you buy the new iPhone? 📱  
  
👍 if you still hesitate ;)

 🧠 This simple hack makes your AI smarter: 

Ask your LLM to rephrase your question before answering 🎙️ 

Yep.

Just repeat the question and boom, you get better answers.

This technique, called EchoPrompt. ✨, improved AI performance by:
• 5% in numerical tasks
• 13% in reading comprehension

🤔 How is this possible?

Apparently,by rephrasing, the model gets another opportunity to:
- 🎯 Focus the model's attention.
- 📝 Switch into  completion mode
- 🔍 Help it identify potential errors.

Sometimes, the key to better AI isn't more complex algorithms, but smarter ways of asking questions.

Back to School.... Ai Bubble Trouble ?
Or is the AI market really about to crash 🤔 

Some headlines definitely suggest so.

It’s true that overvalued stocks, market concentration, speculative investments and non profitable AI startups mirror past tech bubbles.

But this time, let's look at the real mega players. 
AI powerhouses like Meta, Google, Microsoft,  Nvidia etc... 

They have strong foundations ....
and even more impressive financials. 💰

To me, the current newsstream seem overly negative. 
Just as it was blindly enthusiastic two years ago.

No, AI hasn’t changed the world in a day.
No, the Terminator hasn’t shown up at your door asking you to leave. 
So no, I don't think those companies will crash this year.

📈And in the meantime AI's adoption is increasing. 

People keep calm and keep prompting.

Is 90% accuracy good enough for AI?
Not when lives are at stake.
So here is what to do about it. 

Imagine a pilot landing your plane correctly only 9 out of 10 times. 
Terrifying, right? 😱
  
When it comes to AI in critical applications, near-perfect performance isn't just a goal—it's a necessity.

Here's why 99.9% accuracy matters:
- In healthcare: Misdiagnosis can be fatal
- In finance: Small errors can cost millions
- In autonomous vehicles: Any mistake is a potential accident

Actually very few use cases would need 90% accuracy. 

And still, this the perf of most of our current "LLM". 
  
They're impressive, but quite fallible. 

That's why we need to be strategic about AI deployment:
  
1. Use AI in creative applications where there is no "ground truth" 
2. Pair AI with reliable traditional systems for critical tasks
3. Maintain human oversight in high-stakes scenarios

The future of AI isn't just about being good. 
It's about being perfect.

And that's why the future of AI is probably not about what current LLM are.  
  
What's your take? What level of accuracy do you expect in your use cases ?  🤔

## FINAL POST

I don't usually post about image generation,
But this time it's different.
here is why. 

Flux is a new model from Black Forest Labs, in Germany.

It's making Midjourney and DALL-E sweat.

That's their "llama" moment.

Meaning, finally, we have an easily accessible model that delivers quality on par with, if not better than, the top performing models. 

• Hyper-realistic human anatomy (yes, even hands!)
• Flawless text rendering in images
• Available in multiple sizes to fit every device 

Too bad it's not solving (yet ?) what cripples most image models, aka, the intellectual property issue. 

You can so easily generate things that look like copyrighted material. 

But being in Germany, I am sure the guys from black forest will have something in mind. 

Are you ready?

👍  if you're excited by the creative possibilities.

AI lacks emotion. 
That's why it can help you in emotional situations.
Here's how.

We all have those moments which are "loaded" 
→ Relationship conflicts
→ Work disagreements
→ High-stakes negotiations

AI can be your Unbiased BFF.
⮑ doesn't have emotional investment.
⮑ provides a neutral, third-party perspective.
⮑ can help diffuse emotionally charged situations.

Follow this "conversation template".

1️⃣ Provide the Context

"Here is a detailed reflection of the situation I’m facing:
(Your detailed backstory, including historical context and series of events)"

2️⃣ Seek an Unbiased Perspective

“Please take on the perspective of the other person involved and explain how they might be viewing the situation. What factors might have contributed to this issue?”

3️⃣ Clarify the Issues

“Based on the provided context, what do you think are the main issues at play here?”

4️⃣ Explore Solutions

“Suggest a few potential solutions or approaches to address this situation effectively.”

By using AI as a tool for reflection, you can gain clarity and make better decisions in challenging situations.

👍  this if you find it useful.

Navigate tough situations with AI


In 1996, I competed in an Olympics, as part of French team.
Except it was the Olympics of mathematics, the "IMO". 
And yesterday, I got beaten.

Yesterday, an AI just beat my score. 

OK it wasn't a tough score to beat ... I didn't do so well 😅. 

As the IMO organizers kindly remind us, the problems are designed to be incredibly challenging.

Yesterday, DeepMind AI announced that one of its systems earned a silver medal. 

Actually it didn't participate and used 3 days instead of a few hours but still, it solved 4 of the 6 problems of this year's edition. 

Worth noting: this isn't ChatGPT. 

This is a specialized AI, similar to those developed for Go and Chess, built specifically for this task.

Beyond the hype around generalist systems like ChatGPT, this shows we're getting really good at building specialized AI that can tackle complex problems.

What does this mean for the future?

AI could help us solve some of the world's biggest challenges.

Another reason why I believe AI is here to stay 🚀

Want some facts ?  

Type it in the Google search bar.  
  
Want to learn about a biography ? To find a good restaurant ?   

Type it in the Google search bar.  
  
So, next time you see a bar, think about what you want to do.  
  
Do you want to create something new?  
  
Or do you want to find something existing?  
  
Choice is yours.

Meta sent notifications about using our data shared on their platforms to train AI.
Did you get to the bottom of it ? 💬

As million others, I received their short mail this week end. 

To train AI they will "use information shared on Meta’s Products and services". 🤯

What's information ? 

"things like posts or photos and their captions."

Hopefully they "do not use the content of your private messages with friends and family to train our AI"

Still, to understand better, I tried to click. 

And found pages and pages of explanations. 

To be honest quite confusing. 

If it's no big deal, why spend so much time telling me everything is fine
I shouldn't worry
it's all for public benefit and creator empowerment 

Concretely no mention of what could be the risks, if any, of letting the AI train on this type of data. 

No examples. 

Honestly, I feel pretty positive about what Meta is doing with their Llama and recent position on open research. 

This is a missed opportunity. 
To get clear about potential implications. 

On my end, I removed from my accounts photos that were including people.

I didn't understand if people faces and names could be associated or not. So, it's a no go.

And otherwise, I made my Insta account private, FB was already friends only, but that's basic privacy, good also for the rest. 🔐

Not sure it makes a lot of sense.

Meta is training AI on your data. Is it really a risk ? What can you do to protect your privacy ?

Are you training Meta AI ?

Smarter is not what you expect from your next AI.
Something is far more important 


Reliability

I am not saying we want dumb AI. 

But we have already quite good ones. 
Except we are not sure they can be trusted.  

is your best friend the smartest ? 🤯

Or the one who shows up every time, reliably.  

Despite having some other flaws, that you know. Like... he is late. Or he doesn't pay. Or whatever.

We accept flaws when they are predictable.  

The same goes for AI assistants. 🤖

Sure, it's cool to have an AI that's super smart and can answer any question.

But what good is that if you can't trust the answers it gives you? 🤨

So, now that we already have the smart AI, let's focus on building AI assistants that we can trust. 

Without trust, we can't let them be autonomous.  
And the value of of all this AI tech will remain pretty low, at best.

Are you in ?

You gotta get on the seat and start pedaling.

Same with AI.

It's about crafting your own prompts.
It's about testing models.
It's about iterating.
It's about seeing what works and what doesn't.

🚀 That's where the real learning happens.

So, ditch the passive reading and dive into the world of AI.

Experience it.

When new AI models appear, they're compared to GPT-4, just like how we compare new cola flavors to the classic Coke.

Changing the recipe or tweaking the model is like altering the Coke formula - some fans will be furious

And everyone will have an opinion. 😔

But here's the twist: while we love our familiar brands, we still cheer for progress

So let's see which new flavors openAI is coming up with
and quench our thirst for knowledge and creativity! 💃🏻

Gpt4 : The Coca-Cola of Ai


🚀 AI Race: a llama might be winning … but nobody should care.

Even by Gen Ai Standards, the last 2 weeks have been crazy.

A flurry of language models surpassing or matching the performance of GPT-3.5 and GPT-4! 🔥

First, Cohere's open-source model left GPT-3.5 in the dust 👋

Not to be outdone in the Open source space, Mistral came up with an innovative model "8x22B", on par with GPT-4 🔗

In a couple of days, Microsoft fine-tuned this model for an even better version. That was "WIzardLM2" apparently surpassing GPT-4 🚀

But then, OpenAI dropped a new GPT-4 iteration … leaving all others in its wake 🌊

And just when we thought it was over, Meta released LLama3
it's looking incredible, potentially better than all previous ones, and open-weight to boot! 🏆

I will be honest …

I am not sure anybody outside the small community of AI models builders care anymore.

All these models are already crazy good.
No need to risk burnout by testing them all.

Let's focus on use cases and unlocking some value. 🎢

Not just smart: AI with character

🏅Just got a Top Voice badge. Let’s unpack the ego boost … and Microsoft strategy👇

1️⃣ superficial ego boost

I know it’s just a digital pat on the back. 
A gamification tactic to get people hooked. 
But still … social media has a way of getting under our skin. 
I am working on it, but the likes, comments and badge thing is a tempting game 📈

2️⃣ a tough game

It’s a little badge … but kind of big work 💪 
Consistent posting on those « collaborative articles ». 
Trying to craft a crisp message, bringing value in a matter of seconds. ⏰ 
It's not just a click of a button.

3️⃣ a fantastic play by Microsoft 

While we're playing the game, #LinkedIn (aka Microsoft) is playing chess. 🎓

Every collaborative article people create is another data point. 
Great writing, a treasure trove of Q&A data, annotated with likes by humans.

And we're the willing contributors.
Congrats guys for this idea 💡

And thanks for the badge.

Should you use Ai to learn ? or will it just make you dumber ? It's not clearcut 👇

AI can edit and reformulate articles in seconds.
May be whole books.

But wait, isn't reformulation the key to deep learning? 🤔

Everyone knows the magic. 

Engaging with the content, wrestling with the ideas, finding your own words - that's where the real learning happens. 📚

And may be it will be OK with you, but what about students that may never have to use their   own Critical Thinking 🧠 to reformulate and analyze a text. 

Will we loose our mental muscles to think independently ?  💪 

But on the other hand, AI unlocks multiple benefits: 

🎨 Personalization aka support for diverse Learning Styles
AI presents information in various formats, catering to different learning preferences.

🌍 Accessibility
AI makes complex concepts more digestible, opening doors to learning for more people.

⚡ Efficiency
AI allows us to cover more material in less time, freeing up space for deeper engagement with certain topics.

So like any tool, it's all about how we use it.

Don't use it to cut corners... 
But to dig deeper into whatever you need to master  🔍 

Discover the pros and cons of using AI for learning. Will it enhance or hinder critical thinking? Dive in to find out.

Does AI make you smarter or dumber ?

Microsoft just made an unusual AI announcement.👇

For once, it's not about more power, 
or more parameters,
or more IQ. 

They introduce BitNet b1.58. 
And it's mainly a stride to a greener AI 🌟🌱

It slashes energy consumption by 71x ...
while keeping performance  🚀

💡 The trick ? 
Instead performing calculating using full precision, with numbers that need 32 bits to be stored, it uses just ternary values : {-1, 0, 1}.  

Which require 1,58 bits to be stored, so the name.

And good news, in this strange world of ternary computation, multiplications become additions. 

That would also open the door to further optimizations and speed up. 

Because, as you and me, standard computers are much better at additions compared to multiplications. 

So  in the end... Smaller Bits, Bigger Dreams ?

Mathematics is useless.

Or so they said.
And then AI happened 🧠 🤖

You heard it on Tv, in newspaper, in conversations. 

"What's the point of learning derivatives"

🤖AI, which is poised to become ubiquitous in our life

Math is the heartbeat of AI.

It's calculus 
to allow AI to learn from its mistakes 📈

It's linear algebra 
to enables AI to see patterns 🌀

It's probability 
to empower AI to recombine and create.🔮

👉 In essence, AI is math brought to ... life.

So now, every country in the world is suddenly wondering where they can find skilled mathematicians.

And those which have strong traditions can be proud.

✨ "Don't be evil." Yesterday, Google made an unexpected move to reignite the love it had lost. 

Indeed, you might remember the 2000s, when Google was David against the Goliaths of the time.

It promised a different path.

One where access to information was universal. Between YouTube, Gmail, Maps, Google is not just a search engine; it is a gateway to the world's knowledge, free and accessible to all. 🚀

Google was a company but one with a special aura, it was a beacon of "good". 

But, with its growth, Google has become a titan, dealing with multiple conflicting imperatives 🌍

And so the positive aura has been a bit lost.

Yesterday, Google dropped Gemma, a range of open-source, small but state-of-the-art AI models.

Behind the tech perf, it's a strategic statement. Gemma is a storyline of redemption. 🌈 "We're still those guys."

With Meta playing strong the open-source game, and OpenAI the proprietary one, they go like Mistral with a mixed one:

- big powerful closed models (Gemini)

- smaller but still very competent open LLMs (Gemma)

👩‍💻 Now, over to you, do you think Gemma signal a strategic shift?

AI is not going to replace you soon. Here is why 👇 

This simple riddle is the latest joke among AI experts.
It stumps most of our sophisticated GPT models. 🤖🎢

Here is it: 

You see one group of ducks and
- one duck is behind two ducks, 
- one duck is in front of two ducks,
- one duck is in the middle of two ducks. 
How many ducks at least are there in the group?

Seems simple, right?  
🦆🦆 🦆  3 ducks et voilà  

Yet, 
Mixtral finds 4 ducks, 
GPT-3.5 thinks 5 ducks, 
Gemini Pro 6 at minimum, and "there may be more"

It's a veritable festival of errors, except for GPT-4, which apparently got it right. 🎯

This humorous highlight underscores a serious point. 
👉 Today GPT have no reasoning capacity. 

They are word machines producing illusion of reason. So while they can dazzle us with complex tasks, they fail seemingly simple others 🧠

So when we worry about AI outsmarting humanity, let's remember the duck riddle. 

So 🦆 vs 🤖: who is smarter ?

🧩 Remember when AI turned us all into superheroes ? I tried to build my AI avatar. It didn't work well... 👇

I am sure you remember how one year ago, everybody was doing those fancy profil pics.

As a Superman hero or queen of Coachella.

That was the "Lensa" app craze. 

I don't read so much about the app anymore but they exploited an interesting technique. 

Gen AI models are not "fixed". 🤖 They can continue learning and you can quite easily teach them new things called "concepts". 

For instance the concept of your face to generate yourself in whatever situation you can imagine.

It's called "LoRa" training. And all the needed code can be find online. 

So I decided to train a LoRa to craft my AI avatar machine 🤖 

As you can see, and despite some efforts, it didn't work. 

My dream avatar machine remained out of reach 😶

Instead, I was met with eerie uncanny distorted portraits of another me 🖌️ 

Weird experience. 

One thing is clear 💡 the youth of the technology and the randomness of AI outputs make every Gen AI project an exploration. 

Success is not guaranteed. But the journey is amazing.

So, let's keep exploring 🚀

I read the best book on AI and learnt a powerful insight 👇

Xmas 🎄🧠 : a perfect moment to retreat from the ever-spinning AI news cycle and read a book. 

👁️ I dived into Melanie Mitchell's "Artificial Intelligence - A Guide for Thinking Humans."

It's an amazing book to really understand AI history, performance and limitations. 
And get perspective on the matter. Even ChatGPT recommends it first when prompted :)

The insight I remember most vividly ? 

👉👉 "Easy things are hard"

AI flips the script on what we consider easy and hard. 🔄 

Humans excel at certain tasks effortlessly. Like picking a friendly face in a crowd. Or understanding a scene from a picture. Or understanding a conversation in a noisy bar.  

For AI it took years to get a decent result. 
And it's still far from perfect. 
Prone to lots of biases, even massive mistakes.  

Yet it can outperform us on tasks we find complex. 
Give it a chessboard or go board? Boom. It beats grandmaster since years. 🤯🤖

It's an eye-opener on how "alien" AI really is. 
On why self driving cars might not be around the corner. 
Or why it might take years until we solve hallucinations or bias properly.

2024 is the year of maturity with AI. 
There are score of issues we can solve with AI 🏆
To do so, let's make sure we have enough understanding and perspective.

Nobody seems to agree. 

But everybody knows what "smart" is.

We have smartphones, smart homes, smart clothes, smart cities... 🏙️
We live in a smart world. 🌎 

So, what's Smart ? 

Smart Clothes ? they adapt to the weather. 
Smartphones ?  they adapt to your needs.
Smart Home ? they adapt heat, light etc.. to the environment  

Smart means able to adapt.
💡 So here it is: AI is just a smart program. 🚀

It adapts

A recent study has unveiled that AI-created faces may be deemed more real by human judges than real human pictures.

It's a phenomenon called AI Hyperrealism 🤖✨

Some AI images are so lifelike, 
so meticulously detailed, 
and so 'average'
that our brains think they're genuine.

Here's the catch – if synthetic can outshine authentic, where does that leave our gut instinct? 🤔

This isn't just about pictures – it's a metaphor for our entire information diet. 🍽️

We need to sharpen our focus, equip ourself with skepticism at scale ... and let thorough verification be our shield. 🛡️

Because in the digital realm, not all is as it seems.

GPT4 is better than seasoned human columnists to give relevant and empathetic advices on our personal conundrums. 

What's new ? 

We knew people preferred GPT over doctors to give medical information, but come on, doctors might not be the best competitor for empathy.  

Here, the columnist mission is to provide the most "satisfying" answer. 💓

And still GPT4 answer was preferred, judged more comprehensive, empathetic, relevant etc... 

On paper, AI seems to have cracked the empathy code, or has it?

Let's get real. 
Sure, AI can offer a shoulder, sort of. 
But in the end, when we share a story, what we really want is human touch  – the warmth of a human "I get you." 🔥 

Not only an advice, but an acknowledgment of who we are. 

As a human.
In the end, we humans love other humans.  

👉 So no matter how "empathetic" GPT4 or 5 words get, nothing beats a hug from somebody that "understands" you silently 🤗

Engineers follow blueprints, calculations, formulas. There's precision. There's predictability. 

Prompt engineering? It's a bit more... chaotic. More experimental. More uncertain. More... fun? 

Like an artist 🎨 may be ? With a palette, brushes, and canvas ? 

Or may be even a 'craft' ?  A blend of science and art, data and intuition, precision and creativity.

But artists aim at beauty. Prompters want to hit gold. To me, that's the definition of Alchemy.

Are prompt engineers then, the modern alchemists ? If so, we hope for a brighter future :)

Let me know your thoughts! 💡

🌱 Le "jardin numérique", 🌳 c'est urgent de se lancer. Mais pourquoi ?  

Non, ce n'est pas un compte Instagram caché, 
c'est une forêt 🌲 de connaissances. 

On appelle ça aussi un "second brain". 🧠 

Très concrètement c'est une collection de notes, d'articles lus, de "highlights" de livres, de pensées. 

Un hub de connaissance perso. Et ce concept n'est pas nouveau. 

Beaucoup le font déjà. Avec des fichiers épars, ou des apps spécialisées, depuis le parrain Evernote jusqu'à Roam ou Obsidian. 

Ce deuxième cerveau permet de libérer l'espace mental et d'améliorer sa rétention d'infos, finalement de continuer à apprendre. 💡

Mais soyons clairs, jusqu'ici ça pouvait être pénible. Et on se retrouvait souvent avec un tas de notes inutiles. 

Mais avec IA générative, tout change 🤖 

ces jardins vont être 1000x plus utiles : 

- Fini de farfouiller dans toutes ces notes, l'IA sera là pour répondre à toutes les interrogations
- Et surtout ce sera une source d'entraînement de données de confiance et de valeur pour son IA personnelle.

Le jardin numérique, c'est la clé qui fera la différence entre nos assistants personnels. 📚 

Alors, on plante les graines de la connaissance ? 🌱

Pourquoi cultiver un jardin numérique

🤖Course à la performance IA : faute de chronomètre, on ne sait pas vraiment si on s’améliore. 🏁 Ni où se situe la ligne d’arrivée. 

😳 Une méthode simple c’est de poser des questions à un modèle et de mettre des juges humains pour noter les réponses.  

Mais évidemment ça coûte cher. 💵
Et c’est biaisé. 

Alors la recherche de benchmarks automatiques est très active. Il y a MMLU dont les résultats  semblent corréler fortement avec les jugements humains.  

Mais honnêtement ce n’est pas très clair. 🤷‍♀️

📊 En vrai est ce que le modèle à 61.2 est vraiment mieux que celui à 56.7 ? Et à partir de quelle valeur est ce qu’un modèle est « suffisant » pour être utilisable en vrai ? 

😳 On a besoin vite d'une méthode fiable pour mesurer l'intelligence des LLM. 
Comme pour les humains. 🧠

Ah, zut, pour les humains on sait pas non plus. 
👀 L'intelligence n'est pas une chose simple à mesurer.🌹

💡Mais est ce vraiment si important ?

c’est bien de savoir résoudre des problèmes, ou créer 15 idées nouvelles. Mais ce qui est encore plus fort c’est de savoir interfacer cette capacité avec les autres. Pour concrètement faire avancer le monde. 🌍 

ChatGPT a fait un grand bon mais on attend vraiment le prochain. 🚀

🚀L'IA, ça va être comme l'ordinateur : d'abord il faut une machine qui remplit une pièce 🗿et après ça devient petit, personnel, mobile 📱. 

On est dans l'ère des modèles d'IA géants, mais qu'arrive-t-il lorsque l'on passe à l'échelle personnelle ?

👀 Si chaque individu possède sa propre IA, aussi puissante que GPT-3, mais personnalisée selon ses besoins. C'est plus big data, mais de MY data. 💼

Votre IA personnelle connaît vos goûts, vos habitudes, elle peut même anticiper vos besoins. Elle n'est pas seulement un assistant, c'est votre alter ego numérique.🕴️‍♀️

Et au fait  si votre IA personnelle connaît tout de vous, qu'en est-il de votre vie privée? 🕵️‍♀️ Et si elle tombe entre de mauvaises mains ? Si elle se fait hacker ? 

Pire encore, et si elle devient plus intelligente que vous? 🧠

Demain c'est dispo, vous l'installez sur votre mobile ?   🎲

L'IA va se miniaturiser : et après ?

👑 Garantir son emploi aujourd'hui c'est être conforme, produire du pattern. Problème : tout ce qui est pattern c'est l'IA qui va s'en occuper  🤖   

Garantir son emploi c'est bien faire les choses.  

Ça démarre à l'école où on suit le programme 📚. 
Ça continue dans certaines fonctions au travail, où l'on apprend les procédures pour remplir les objectifs 🏢.
Dans tous les cas il faut les bons comportements, et les codes.

Mais attention, trop suivre la recette et hop, c'est l'IA 🤖 qui va prendre la main. 

Elle est plus efficace, plus rapide et moins coûteuse pour reproduire les patterns.

🎯 Donc en fait demain la zone de sécurité, c'est la non-conformité, l'originalité, la différence. Tout ce qui ne peut pas être automatisé. 

Alors, pour déjouer les patterns, une seule solution : embrasser sa singularité 🦚 

Things are going to get interesting. 🚀
Et pour commencer, laissez votre divergence en commentaire 👇

🧠 ChatGPT aurait-il perdu des neurones ? C'est la grosse rumeur mais les conséquences peuvent être profondes 🔥

Sur Twitter et Hackernews, c'est l'ébullition.⚔️  

Difficile à prouver, mais c'est aussi mon expérience : des prompts qui fonctionnaient à merveille produisent maintenant des sorties de mauvaise qualité, voire carrément hors sujet. Et ce malaise n'épargne pas GPT4 et son API. 

💥Une IA qui perd en intelligence, c'est une pilule amère à avaler pour tous ceux qui l'utilisent pour offrir des services intelligents... services qui se dégradent subitement.

💡Mais au fait : si l'intelligence était au coeur du produit,  est-ce vraiment judicieux de l'externaliser ?  ⚡️

💭Imaginez être un chef étoilé et décider de sous-traiter la préparation des plats... Absurde, non ? 

L'API, c'est le top, à condition que ce ne soit pas le cœur de l'offre. Sinon, c'est jouer à la roulette russe 🎲

Bilan de l'histoire : cela plaide fortement pour l'utilisation de modèles locaux. Moins performants pour le moment, certes, mais sur lesquels vous gardez le contrôle et dont la pérennité est assurée. 

Alors, on opte pour l'API ou on retrousse ses manches ? Hâte de lire vos commentaires ! 👇

🎂 Joyeux anniversaire ! Voilà le SMS de votre BFF ... ah non c'est son assistant IA programmé pour garder le contact en pilote auto. Heureux ? 😱  

Honnêtement, ça me laisse perplexe 🤨.

Dans un univers où tout est automatisé à la vitesse lumière 💡, l'interaction humaine devient un diamant brut 💎. Certes, l'IA peut envoyer des lettres d'anniversaire au top, mais est-ce vraiment ce que nous aspirons à avoir ?

N'oubliez pas la valeur d'un mot griffonné à la hâte sur une carte d'anniversaire. 🖌 Les choses ont du poids parce que nous, humains, avons pris le temps de les réaliser. ⏳

Alors, chères marques, avant de penser à automatiser vos interactions, faites une petite introspection. 🤔

Peut-être que je suis un peu rétrograde, mais pour moi, rien ne peut remplacer le contact humain. Pas même le robot le plus intelligent de la planète 🌍.

Et vous, qu'en pensez-vous ? Est-ce que l'IA peut vraiment se substituer à l'interaction humaine ? 🗣 À vos claviers ! 👇

Avoir de l'attention: une question de temps ?

🎉 Instagram et son filtre Clarendon ont tué la photo. 😭 Par overdose. Est ce que la Gen AI va faire pareil avec la créa visuelle ? 🎆

J'ai pris cette photo en 1996. 📸 

Sur une plage, une fin de journée d'été. J'ai épuisé une pellicule ou deux à trouver le bon moment où la vague allait se retirer sans emporter les lunettes, à chercher la bonne lumière, le bon angle. 

Aujourd'hui, cette image ne me fait plus rêver. Mais à l'époque, je pouvais être assez fier pour la coller dans un album. Mes amis trouvaient que je faisais de belles photos. 🌟 

Et puis, le digital a débarqué et la photo est devenue un jeu d'enfant.🚀   Au début une formidable démocratisation de la photo. Enfin c'était accessible, enfin on pouvait se permettre de rater.

Très vite, le mobile a pointé son nez. Et Instagram n'a pas tardé.  Et là ça a basculé.

Overdose. 

De quantité.
Et de qualité esthétique : avec le bon filtre, même le plus banal des toilettes devient grandiose.🚽✨

J'ai continué un moment. Avec du matériel lourd et des workflows chronophages, j'ai produit quelques images sympas.  

Mais c'est devenu trop dur. Comment être fier de son image dans cet océan de photos parfaites ? 🌊

La photo était un loisir où on pouvait être moyen, il y a maintenant d'un côté les amateurs qui produisent en série des souvenirs banals, et de l'autre, quelques pros, artistes de très haut niveau. 🎨

Alors je me demande ce que l'IA va faire à la création visuelle. Picasso peut dormir tranquille. Le hic, c'est que tout le monde n'est pas Picasso. 😅

En attendant, pour les praticiens comme pour les marques, il n'y a qu'une seule issue positive : pousser la différence. 🏆  

Fuir ce "look midjourney" qui est le nouveau Clarendon.  Honnêtement, vous trouvez pas qu'on en a déjà marre de ce look ? 👇
