What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Welcome to the podcast. I'm your host, Jaden Schaefer.
What are the top AI news stories covered in this episode?
Today on the podcast, we're covering the top four AI news stories happening today. There is one that I'm super excited about. I posted about this over on LinkedIn, but there is an LM engineer. He just used ChatGPT and some AI tools to design a personalized cancer vaccine for his dog and actually shrink the tumor. NVIDIA is preparing to unveil its next generation of AI chips. OpenAI is reportedly working on a massive enterprise partnership with PE firms, which is kind of interesting. And then the big story I want to talk about that everyone is talking about is that Meta is preparing to lay off potentially more than 20% of its workforce while ramping up AI spending. So they're making a lot of money. They're just cutting their workforce to spend more on AI.
And this is what we've already seen from a bunch of other players in the industry.
How was a personalized cancer vaccine developed for a dog using AI?
So let's get into all of it and the implications in the whole industry of AI. Before we do, the biggest thing I'm super excited about today to announce is that over on my platform, AIbox.ai, which gives you access to tons of different AI models for just $8.99 a month, we have just added five new audio models. So there's one that is for music, sound effects, and a voice changer. All of these are over on 11Labs. And in addition, we have all of the different OpenAI voices and tons of new audio voices on 11 Labs. So if you do anything with audio, music, sound effects, or voice changing, go check out AIbox.ai and you get access to all of these new models.
What can we expect from NVIDIA's upcoming AI chip reveal?
I am super excited about that. And you can also build them into workflows that you can automate different things you do at work. This is something I'm doing every single day and it is saving me so much time. So go check it out. There's a link in the description to AIbox.ai. It's only $8.99 a month and you get 20% off if you get an annual plan. So it's a super amazing tool that I hope it saves you a ton of time. All right, let's get into the first story today is this kind of cancer vaccine that was created for a dog. So basically, this is coming out of Australia. It's pretty wild. There's a tech entrepreneur named Paul Conaham, and he decided to try something. Basically, he went to the vet and they told him that his rescue dog, Rosie, only had a few months left to live because she had a really advanced cancer.
So I think instead of doing what a lot of people do, most, I mean, everyone really, and just kind of accepting the prognosis, he decided to use AI tools, including ChatGPT and then Google's AlphaFold to analyze the tumor. So he had Rosie's healthy DNA and then he had her DNA sequenced. from the tumor. And then he converted the tumor tissue into data and used ChatGPT to identify the mutations that were driving the cancer. This is incredible. Not because, you know, not because I think a lot of people will be like, oh, he's like kind of in tech. So that's how he was able to do this. He has no background in biology, right? He's just literally working with ChatGPT and asking how to do this. How do I sequence DNA?
How do I like what do I do with the tumor data that they gave me? And he was able to take all of this, and then he went and found some researchers at New South Wales, and they designed a custom mRNA vaccine tailored specifically to Rosie's tumor. The thing that took the longest, because they actually got that done pretty quick, the thing that took the longest is that they had to wait three months just for the regulation to approve that it was going to be safe to vaccinate his dog, which kind of is horrible considering, you know, only had months left to live and he's probably super stressed about it. And the regulation took longer than them cranking out this vaccine just with chat GPT. And then Rosie received her first injection in December.
And then by March, she had about a tennis ball-sized tumor and had shrunk about 75% and continuing to shrink. So researchers believe that this might be the first kind of personalized cancer vaccine ever created for a dog.
