ByteSize Daily Wrap - 2023/12/05

Hey there, tech enthusiasts! Ready for a scintillating journey through the world of artificial intelligence, low code updates and latest tech discoveries? Fasten your seatbelts because, in today’s episode of Atometrix ByteSize, we've got a smorgasbord of juicy insights, piping hot off the press. We are rolling up our sleeves to dive into OpenAI's bold decision to keep Microsoft off the board table, explore Stability AI's revolutionary text-to-image model, SDXL Turbo, peek at Intuit's AI powered TurboTax, marvel at Meta AI's CICERO, and shed some light on OpenAI's critical data partnerships. Sound like a mouthful? Well, you bet your circuit board it is!

Look, it wouldn't be an episode of Atometrix ByteSize if there wasn't a little bit of humour and a whole lot of opinion, now would it? OpenAI's move to keep Microsoft off the board, for example, strikes me as the tech equivalent of Shakespeare's famous quote, "This above all, to thine own self be true." Plus, who needs a board full of humans when they might just make room for a robot, right? As for the future of text-to-image technology, just imagine typing out "The host of Atometrix ByteSize, sitting in a spaceship wearing a Hawaiian shirt" and watching it come to life... in seconds! Just hope your typing speed can keep up with your imagination!
