Generative AI and the future of work in America

• Generative AI Impact: By 2030, generative AI could automate up to 30% of hours worked in the US, enhancing work in STEM, creative, and business sectors.

• Employment Sector Shift: The net-zero transition will move jobs from oil, gas, and automotive manufacturing to green industries.

• Sector Demand Increase: Infrastructure projects and an ageing population are increasing the demand for construction, healthcare, and transportation services.

• Occupational Transitions: By 2030, 12 million additional occupational transitions may be needed, especially for lower-wage jobs.

• Workforce Development: The US needs larger-scale workforce development, and employers must hire based on skills, not credentials, and recruit from overlooked populations.

MIT Develops 'Masks' to Protect Images From Manipulation by AI

• MIT researchers have developed a new technique called PhotoGuard to prevent unauthorized manipulation of images by AI systems.

• Generative AI image models, such as Midjourney and Stable Diffusion, can edit existing images by adding new areas or remixing objects into others.

• The MIT team created a protective mask that prevents these models from manipulating images. These masks are invisible to the human eye and cause the output to appear distorted when interacting with a generative AI image model.

• The purpose of PhotoGuard is to improve deepfake detection. It is designed to complement watermark protections and disrupt the inner workings of AI diffusion models.

• PhotoGuard is available on GitHub under an MIT license, which allows for commercial use but requires the copyright and license notices preservation.

• The team argues that while watermark approaches work, they do not protect images from being manipulated in the first place.

GPT-5 Coming?

• OpenAI has filed a registration application for the GPT-5 mark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, indicating the development of the next version of the AI model.

• The GPT-5 is described as software capable of processing, understanding, and analyzing natural language, speech, and human text.

• The registration does not necessarily mean an imminent launch of GPT-5. It primarily prevents unauthorized use of the acronyms that define the next generation of OpenAI's language model.

• OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, has stated that the successor to GPT-4 could take a while before arriving, as the company still has a lot of work to do.

• GPT-5 is expected to be the most intelligent version of the conversational model, capable of automating complex cognitive tasks and understanding natural language in a deeper and more accurate way.

• OpenAI plans to improve the power and processing efficiency of the AI model with GPT-5.

• The launch of GPT-5 is not expected to bring about superintelligence. OpenAI believes that this state can be achieved in around four years, likely after a couple more generations of the chatbot.

Growth Corner

✍️ Content Creation on X

In the dynamic digital realm, X, previously Twitter, has become a pivotal platform for content creators.

The recent introduction of its Ads Revenue Sharing program highlights X's dedication to rewarding creators.

This initiative opens a new revenue avenue for creators and fosters superior content creation, enriching the platform's user experience.

Creators who meet specific benchmarks, such as a large follower base and high impression rates, can share in their content's ad revenue.

This emphasizes the value of content creation on X, offering creators a unique chance to monetize their creativity and influence. Therefore, X is more than a social network; it's a lucrative platform for both established and budding content creators.

Prompts for Growth

Crafting engaging long-form tweets on the X platform can boost user engagement, increase impressions and higher ad revenue. It's a key strategy for maximizing earnings through X's Ads Revenue Sharing program.

Remember that the Prompt is not a set-and-forget and will still need minor edits. You may find that you have to edit the intro a few times to get the exact sweet spot for the “Show More Button.”

The Prompt:

“Write an engaging and captivating long-form tweet on the subject of Social Media Marketing. The language should be English. The first part should be a succinct summary that precisely fits the 280 character limit on Twitter. This introduction should use emotive language, vivid imagery, and a strong call-to-action to entice readers to click the 'Show More' button. The rest of the tweet should dive deeper, providing a mix of thought-provoking insights, practical advice, and tangible benefits of effective Social Media Marketing. Make sure to include relevant industry hashtags like #SocialMediaMarketing and #DigitalMarketing to increase discoverability. The tone should be professional, yet accessible, and the content must demonstrate the power and potential of Social Media Marketing.”

If the above prompt gives you mixed results, I would recommend trying something like this and a little more hands-on with it:

Ever have difficulty {topic}?I was terrible{example of when you were bad at the topic}Then I figured this out…{rest of tweet}
