The race toward what I call "The Knowledge Navigator Human-Machine Interface (KNHMI)', really got going today with hugely important announcements from OpenAI and Google. There are impressive demonstrations of the potential of 'Voice" as the KNHMI mode of steering AI. Both companies have extensive coverage of presentations and detailed Blog posts. OpenAI says: Hello GPT-4o We’re announcing GPT-4o (Omni), our new flagship model that can reason across audio, vision, and text in real-time. Google says: At Google I/O 2024, our annual developer conference, we shared how we're building more helpful products and features with AI — including improvements across Search, Workspace, Photos, Android and more. I had a test conversation with GPT-4o on my Android phone and it was remarkably natural and productive. Note: GPT-4o Voice is currently only available on mobile devices. Here's the OpenAI Voice demo video: https://lnkd.in/eNjA8Zgv

Control Flappy Bird with your Nose! 🤯 Fly High with Pictoblox & a Dash of Creativity 🐦 **Ever dreamt of controlling a game with your nose?** Well, now you can! I've just built a Flappy Bird game that you can play using **Pictoblox** and **your own nose!** 🤯 **Here's the breakdown:** 1. **The Setup:** I used Pictoblox's **'Nose Tilt' sensor** to detect the tilt of my nose. This data is then translated into a command for the bird to flap its wings. 2. **The Code:** Pictoblox's intuitive drag-and-drop interface made coding a breeze. I created a simple loop that checks for the nose tilt and adjusts the bird's movement accordingly. 3. **The Fun:** Playing Flappy Bird with your nose is surprisingly addictive! The challenge of keeping the bird aloft with subtle nose movements is both fun and rewarding. **Check out the video below to see it in action!** **This project is a testament to the power of Pictoblox and the endless possibilities of creative coding.** It's a great example of how you can use technology to control a game in a completely unconventional way. **What are you waiting for? Give it a try!** **#Pictoblox #FlappyBird #Coding #Creativity #STEM #MakeSomethingAmazing #Tech #Innovation #NoseControl #GameDev **Don't forget to share your own creative coding projects with me!**

🚀 Coding with Qwen2.5-Coder:32b on a home desktop and it's a game-changer! 🧠 This mid-level gaming desktop-friendly model is outperforming GPT-4 on multiple coding benchmarks, including the Aiders Coding Leadership Board. Open-Weight models are truly coming into their own, proving that smaller, specialized AI can compete with the big players. 💻🌟 #AI #Coding #Qwen #GPT4 #LLM https://lnkd.in/gfpKzgWy

🐍 OpenAI made a Snake game... but did it hit the mark? 🤔 We’ve taken a different approach with AI agent collaboration! In our version, it’s all about autonomous AI agents working together to navigate the grid—no code required, just smart moves and teamwork. 🎮 🤖 Curious how AI agents can strategize their way through a classic game? Watch our demo and see them in action! 🧠 https://lnkd.in/e-pbkjhJ #AI #NoCode #AIAgents #GenerativeAI ##AIInGames #OpenServAI

GPT-4o: Not the game changing update in reasoning and intelligence capability but nevertheless a window into the future. Real time conversation with a voice agent that can understand the emotion in a person's voice and that someone can interrupt with no lag. This technology will certainly disrupt.
