📱OpenAI’s New TikTok-Style App

OpenAI just launched “Sora by OpenAI,” a new social media app for AI-generated video clips that closely resembles TikTok.

Key Details:

• It’s all powered by Sora 2, a video generator that converts brief text descriptions into physically accurate, realistic, and controllable short films.

• The social media app creates shareable 10-second video clips when given prompts or photos, as long as the photos don’t contain people.

• You can use the cameo feature to include yourself within a shareable 10-second video clip after following a series of steps to authenticate who you are.

Why It’s Important:

• Short-form content dominates current social media trends. For instance, YouTube Shorts now commands over 90 billion daily views, with 80% of Gen Z watching short-form content on a weekly basis.

• OpenAI aims to shift from primarily offering backend developer services to also exploring frontend consumer services to accelerate the public adoption of AI.

🔢 AI’s Quantum Computing Breakthrough

A prominent theoretical computer pioneer, Scott Aaronson, recently shared that ChatGPT helped him get unstuck and discover a breakthrough in quantum computing.

Key Details:

• A quantum is the smallest discrete unit of a phenomenon. For example, a quantum of electricity is an electron.

• While traditional computers use “bits” (i.e., 0 or 1) to process information sequentially (i.e., one at a time), quantum computers use “qubits” (i.e., 0 or 1, or both at the same time) to process information in parallel (i.e., multiple at a time).

• The quantum state is when a “qubit” has the potential to be either 0 or 1, but it’s not one or the other yet. It’s like a coin flipping in the air; it’s both heads and tails until it lands. This process enables quantum computers to explore trillions of possibilities at once.

• Quantum Merlin Arthur (QMA) refers to using quantum computers to verify quantum proofs: a set of “qubits” arranged within a specific quantum state that contains the solution to a complex problem.

• OpenAI’s GPT-5 Thinking Mode helped recall and implement essential mathematical concepts from previously overlooked research on Quantum Complexity Theory to verify QMA protocols with perfect completeness. In other words, quantum computers can now verify quantum proofs with 100% certainty.

Why It’s Important:

• For context, quantum computers can solve complex problems in minutes that would take a supercomputer 10 septillion years to complete. To put this into perspective, the universe’s age is estimated to be around 13.8 billion years, a mere fraction of a septillion years.

• This breakthrough showcases how ChatGPT can function as a proactive companion that actively finds, analyzes, and synthesizes technical literature to meaningfully contribute to the progress of scientific discovery within specialized areas like quantum science.

PROMPT ENGINEERING TIPS

⚙️Problem Defined, Solution Aligned.

Understanding what’s wrong is half the battle. It’s critical to pinpoint what isn’t working, when it started, and who feels the impact.

To diagnose a problem, we usually follow these three steps:

• 🔴 Step #1: Define the Problem

• 🟡 Step #2: Diagnose the Root Cause

• 🟢 Step #3: Identify and Implement a Solution

For example, imagine you’re struggling to stay productive during the workday. To address this issue, you decide to identify the source of your distractions. You realize that frequent smartphone use leads to delays, interruptions, and procrastination. So, you decide to turn off non-essential notifications during work hours.

This simple prompt turns ChatGPT into your personal problem-solving partner:

• Context: I’m trying to develop an actionable plan to solve {Insert Precise Problem},

• Clarity: but I often struggle to identify the who, what, when, why, and where.

• Guidance: Can you help me define the problem, diagnose the root cause, and identify and implement a solution that leads to {Insert Desired Outcome}?
