What happened this week in AI by Louis
Last week has been a busy with new Generative AI developments, particularly with the announcement of ChatGPT’s paid version, which sparked a conversation among users. At the beginning of the month, OpenAI shared a waitlist for users to join their Professional tier with perks on their Discord channel. The upgrade is not yet visible to all users, so it’s likely that it will be released only to certain users or in specific locations. ChatGPT had over a million users within the first six days of its launch, proving that it is here to stay. While the monetization of ChatGPT was inevitable, it could be argued that it is too early to ask users to pay for it.
Announcing our new Video Livestream Content platform for AI content creators.
After the success of our new livestream Events format in our 36,000-member Learn AI Together Discord community, we are very excited to announce our new open platform for AI video and audio content contributors.
At Towards AI we have helped 2,000 different contributors publish blogs focussed on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and to reach our audience of over 360,000 followers on social media. This has helped contributors grow their reputation, reach and audience in the AI community. We are now planning to do the same for livestream video contributors.
Please reach out and pitch us your idea if you’d like to present any AI-related content to our community, whether it is a class, tutorial, paper, reading group, panel discussion, competition, etc. We would love to host it live on our Learn AI Discord. The content will be recorded, 100% owned by you and available for you to distribute on your own Youtube channel or website afterward. So if you are looking for an audience for your high-quality AI video (or audio) content it would be a perfect match. We will include in the Events calendar section of this newsletter (85,000 direct subscribers, 360,000 followers on socials) and include in the Events Calendar of our Learn AI Together Discord (36,000 members).
