What I learned this week

TL;DR

• I spent this week playing with some code and creating some basic level of automation leveraging AI. Not even trying to be super innovative or creating brand new things, this is about learning and understanding how the tools can be used. The objective? Solve part of one of my biggest problem: how to triage content and focus on reading what matters vs noise. I read a few research papers from arXiv and that gave me some ideas: Step 1: download research paper based on keywords. Step 2: analyse and rate the research paper. Step 3: save the result to a database. Step 4: Build a web interface to review and select the article to read. This one is going to read a little bit like a tutorial but it will also show you the power of AI tools and how you can achieve quick results. You’ll also get the key prompts I have used! If you are not a coder this is 100% for you!

• Significant announcements in the AI world this week. From OpenAI GPT-4o announcement, which is a multi-modal model that covers text, voice, and vision and provided for free for everyone. Check the videos on their YouTube channel for some impressive examples - the realtime translation one is a bit mind blowing 🤯 . They have also released a Desktop app for Mac OS (Windows to follow). Right after this, one of the co-founder of OpenAI also announced he quit.
  Google I/O 2024 was running the day after OpenAI. A summary can be found here from Google and this one is also a good one.. Gemini is being integrated everywhere and the new context windows for Gemini Flash and Pro has reached 2 millions! That’s a lot of data as in input, the prompt and context you can use will be insane!

• I did mention this before but the cyber world is going through consolidation. This is not unexpected at all based on the current cycle. The fact that this week show two announcement related to the SIEM market is not a surprise either. Palo Alto announced strategic partnership with IBM and acquired QRadar SaaS assets. LogRythm and Exabeam decided to merge. This on the back of the $28b acquisition of Splunk by CISCO in March 2024. This trend will continue for sure.
