ChatGPT Xmas Day 7: Projects.

ChatGPT has introduced a new "Projects" feature designed to help users organize their interactions with the AI, including chats, files, and specific instructions. This feature is aimed at reducing clutter by grouping related conversations and relevant data into neatly organized folders. Users can name and color-code each project, upload files, and set specific instructions, ensuring ChatGPT remembers key details between sessions. It is useful for tasks like website development or collaborative projects, as it keeps all related information within one space. Projects are available to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Teams subscribers, with access coming soon for free-tier users.

Deep Dives:

• Fei-Fei Li, AI pioneer and founder of World Labs, is advancing AI's spatial intelligence by creating 3D worlds for machines to interact with and reason in. She believes that understanding 3D environments is essential for AI's future development, enabling smarter robots and immersive virtual experiences. Despite technical challenges, Li advocates for public access to computing resources to foster innovation. She envisions spatial intelligence transforming fields like augmented reality, design, and everyday problem-solving, with significant progress expected in our lifetime.

• U.S. data center emissions have tripled since 2018, accounting for 2.18% of national CO2 emissions, with further increases expected as AI models grow more complex. Many data centers rely on "dirty" energy, especially in coal regions. Nuclear power could reduce emissions by providing low-carbon energy, but challenges like high costs, safety concerns, and approval delays limit its potential. While efforts to regulate emissions are underway, experts believe significant regulation is still years away.

• Another solution to the above is that Big tech companies are increasingly seeking cheap, reliable energy to power AI data centers, with regions like Malaysia and Chile emerging as key competitors to traditional hubs. Nations with abundant low-cost energy offer incentives to attract tech firms, but this rush risks decarbonization goals as dirty energy is sometimes used. The competition for energy and AI infrastructure is reshaping global influence, akin to the oil boom, and energy-rich regions will need to build sustainable innovation ecosystems to maintain a long-term edge.

• Google made significant strides last week with updates like Veo, Imagen 3, and the Willow quantum chip, which can outperform current supercomputers. These innovations highlight the power of Big Tech, although concerns about its broader impact remain. Meanwhile, AI is transforming warfare, with companies like Anduril developing AI systems to control autonomous drones and hardware. The Pentagon is investing heavily in AI for military use, raising debates about AI's role in decision-making and the need for transparency and human oversight.
