Comment on OpenAI wants to raise 5-7 trillion dollars. Yes, Trillion

  Yeah, AI’s been a whole field for many decades, machine learning and deep learning is a whole field that existed and was doing tons of interesting work before transformers came out. Companies use party tricks to gin up interest and money for their work all the time. None of this changes the fact that AI is important? You think ChatGPT is the end of the line for modern AI research, for real?

  It’s also open source too. With faster chips and standard training sets, it will be trivial for anyone to train a basic AI to recognize fire hydrants or whatever. Just like with computers, the “revolution” will not be one giant company but every business using their own.

  Your fridge only needs to recognize food items. It doesn’t need any more intelligent software. I want a food recognition AI and cameras in the fridge and cabinets so I know what food I need to buy. This doesn’t even need live cameras (for power consumption, privacy, and storage). It can just take a picture and analyze it when the door opens, then delete the picture.

      Llms. There are very competitive, fully open source models.

  Generative AI pales in importance compared to General AI but it is still an important development on its own.

  Remember the rumors that Altman was fired because he found a breakthrough in general AI?

    They’re bullshit. Any breakthrough in General AI world be news everywhere forever.

      Would it? There is a lot of technology out there that we aren’t too aware of.

      Some examples from the past: The internet was a military tool that was in use in the 1960’s.

      Siri was originally a military project. The version originally launched in 2015 was deployed in the US military as early as 2007. I’m not saying siri is a powerful tool, but for what it was in 2015, it started the Ai helper crap we have today.

      Little boy and Fat Man - Ended ww2. Very secret.

      Powerful tools are hidden. General AI would be the most powerful tool ever built. There would be no confirmation it exists until it’s been fully deployed under our noses.

        Aside from the fact that OpenAI and Microsoft leak like a sieve, the scramble for investors would publicize the development, and also the fact that Altman is a braggadocious idiot who need everyone to think he’s smart or he’ll collapse in on himself. The world would know, there isn’t an argument to the contrary that holds any water given the scale of the breakthrough general AI would be and the actors involved here.

    The breakthrough was the ability to do like 3rd grade math. Being able to reason is a big step to researchers but it’s still very much in the research phase.
