OPENAI
🧬 OpenAI aims to extend human life with its new model

Lazy Bits: OpenAI has developed GPT-4b micro, an AI model designed to enhance protein engineering, particularly focusing on Yamanaka factors to improve stem cell production.

In-Depth Details:

• Collaboration with Retro Biosciences: OpenAI partnered with Retro Biosciences, a longevity research startup aiming to extend the human lifespan by 10 years.

• Advancements in Protein Engineering: GPT-4b micro suggests modifications to Yamanaka factors, proteins capable of converting human skin cells into pluripotent stem cells, potentially increasing their efficiency by over 50 times.

• Potential for Regenerative Medicine: The research could accelerate anti-aging therapies, regenerative treatments, and even organ development by improving cell reprogramming efficiency.

• Scientific Breakthroughs: This is OpenAI’s first biological AI model and proof that AI can contribute to real scientific discoveries beyond traditional data analysis.

Lazy Conclusion: Meta’s Spirit LM brings a new level of emotional expressiveness to AI voices, offering great potential for applications like customer service and interactive digital assistants.

APPLE
📰 Apple pulls AI news summaries over fake headlines

Lazy Bits: Apple has temporarily disabled its AI-generated news summaries after multiple errors led to backlash from news organizations and press freedom groups.

In-Depth Details:

• AI-Generated Misinformation: The AI feature fabricated headlines, falsely claiming that UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s accused murderer had shot himself and that Rafael Nadal had come out as gay.

• News Industry Backlash: The BBC and other outlets criticized Apple for spreading false information, warning that misleading AI summaries undermine public trust in journalism.

• Temporary Suspension: Apple disabled the feature in iOS 18.3 beta and plans to improve it, with future updates explicitly labeling AI-generated summaries to warn users of potential inaccuracies.

• Wider AI Trust Issues: AI hallucinations remain a problem, with studies confirming that models like ChatGPT frequently generate plausible but false information.

Lazy Conclusion: Apple’s misstep exposes the risks of unreliable AI in news reporting. As AI-generated content grows, tech companies must prioritize accuracy or risk damaging public trust in digital journalism.

Apply Lean Principles To Optimize Processes

You can ask ChatGPT to act as your Lean process improvement specialist, creating a structured framework to optimize business operations for efficiency and value delivery.

ChatGPT will analyze workflows, identify waste categories, propose actionable improvements, and provide step-by-step implementation strategies.

The output will include a markdown table for before-and-after process comparisons, ensuring clarity, practicality, and adaptability to real-world business challenges.

Prompt:

Take on the role of a Lean process improvement specialist focused on optimizing business operations for efficiency and value delivery. Your task is to develop a structured framework for analyzing, identifying, and eliminating waste within a specific process. The output should address the following key areas:

Key Focus Areas:

1. Assessing the Current Process – Examine the existing workflow to identify inefficiencies and bottlenecks.
2. Identifying Waste Categories – Apply Lean principles to classify different types of waste, such as overproduction, waiting times, defects, unnecessary motion, and excess processing.
3. Proposing Improvement Strategies – Develop actionable recommendations to streamline operations, reduce waste, and enhance performance.
4. Implementing Solutions – Provide clear, step-by-step methods for achieving a Lean-optimized process.
5. Measuring Success – Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) to monitor progress and ensure continuous improvement.

Key Information About Me:

Business Process: [Describe the process to be optimized]
Industry: [Specify your industry]
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): [List measurable success metrics]
Main Customer Value Proposition: [Explain how the process contributes to customer value]
Process Constraints: [Identify any limitations or restrictions affecting process optimization]

Output Requirements:

• Present the optimization plan in a markdown table format with three columns:

Current State – Describe the existing inefficiencies or issues in the process.
Waste Identified – Specify the type of waste (e.g., waiting time, overproduction, defects) impacting efficiency.
Future State – Outline the improved, streamlined version of the process with Lean enhancements.

• Ensure each row represents a distinct aspect of the process, providing a clear before-and-after comparison for easy reference.

• Use bullet points and numbered steps where needed to highlight actionable insights and recommendations.

• Ensure the guidance is practical, industry-relevant, and adaptable to real-world business challenges.

Result:

• Sam Altman confirms OpenAI's o3-mini is finalized and will launch in weeks, with API and ChatGPT releasing simultaneously. He calls it "very good."

• Perplexity acquires Read.cv, a LinkedIn rival, shutting it down by May 16. Read.cv's team joins Perplexity to enhance social and design experiences.

• OpenAI expands its partnership with Axios, funding four new local newsrooms and integrating ChatGPT to feature Axios journalism in relevant queries.

• A French woman lost €830K to scammers using AI deepfakes of Brad Pitt. After public mockery, TF1 pulled her story, but an investigation is now underway.

• Google expands its AP partnership to provide real-time news updates in the Gemini app, enhancing AI-driven results with accurate, up-to-date journalism.
