Elon Musk Co-Founded OpenAI, But Now He Says ChatGPT Parent 'Not What I Intended At All' - Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) - Benzinga
OpenAI and its association with Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) has perked up interest in artificial intelligence and companies that may have even the remotest ties with the technology. At least one technocrat isn't impressed with what has transpired. What Happened: Tesla CEO Elon Musk lamented how ChatGPT parent OpenAI, a company he co-founded in December 2015, has evolved. He was responding to a tweet by substack journalist and Grit Capital CEO Genevieve Roch-Dector, who noted that Musk views AI as "one of the biggest risks" to civilization and needs to be regulated. "He co-founded AI," she pointed out.
Why *is* Bing So Reckless?
Anyone who watched the last week unfold will realize that the new Bing has (or had1) a tendency to get really wild, from declaring a love that it didn't really have to encouraging people to get divorced to blackmailing them to teaching people how to commit crimes, and so on. A lot of us were left scratching our heads. ChatGPT tended not to do this kind of stuff (unless you used "jailbreaking" techniques to try to trick it), whereas from what I can tell, Bing went off the rails really fast. And the thing is, the two systems are basically close siblings; OpenAI built ChatGPT, and is now presumed to be working very closely with Microsoft, using the same technology. ChatGPT was, I believe, mainly powered by GPT 3.5 plus a module known as RLHF (which combines Reinforcement learning with human feedback, to put some guardrails in place).
Closer to AGI? โ O'Reilly
DeepMind's new model, Gato, has sparked a debate on whether artificial general intelligence (AGI) is nearerโalmost at handโjust a matter of scale. Gato is a model that can solve multiple unrelated problems: it can play a large number of different games, label images, chat, operate a robot, and more. Not so many years ago, one problem with AI was that AI systems were only good at one thing. After IBM's Deep Blue defeated Garry Kasparov in chess, it was easy to say "But the ability to play chess isn't really what we mean by intelligence." A model that plays chess can't also play space wars.
Google and Microsoft are in an AI arms race โ who wins could change how we use the internet
Search engines have been a major part of our online experience since the early 1990s, when the booming growth of the world wide web created a need to sort and present information in response to user queries. The first users to traverse the "information superhighway" had a simple job of it. It was akin to pootling along to your local supermarket: you knew the roads, where to turn off, and how to get there. But the exponential growth of the web meant that it quickly became impossible for people to remember where they'd found that pertinent bit of information they wanted. The main road became ensnared in a spider's web of byways.
How OpenAI is trying to make ChatGPT safer and less biased
It's not just freaking out journalists (some of whom should really know better than to anthropomorphize and hype up a dumb chatbot's ability to have feelings.) The startup has also gotten a lot of heat from conservatives in the US who claim its chatbot ChatGPT has a "woke" bias. All this outrage is finally having an impact. Bing's trippy content is generated by AI language technology called ChatGPT developed by startup OpenAI, and last Friday, OpenAI issued a blog post aimed at clarifying how its chatbots should behave. It also released its guidelines on how ChatGPT should respond when prompted with things about US "culture wars."
How ChatGPT Took Over The World In 5 Days - AI Summary
ChatGPT is a model that's able to chat, write code, fix bugs, create forms, publish papers, do homework, translate, and even be a good competitor to Google search engine. Since its release, ChatGPT has gained fame in all industries, catching the attention of millions of users in 5 days, hitting 100 million monthly active users 2 months after its launch. It has become the fastest growing application in history, far surpassing other well-known applications today, such as Twitter taking 5 years to hit 100M users , Meta (Facebook) taking 4 and a half years, TikTok taking 9 months and even 16 years were taken for mobile phones to reach 100M users. Bill Gates praised ChatGPT as significant as the invention of the Internet, while Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella was more outspoken in saying, "AI will fundamentally change every software category." As a major investor with tens of billions of dollars investment in OpenAI, Microsoft has quickly integrated ChatGPT
Now Build ChatGPT On Your Own Device
Since OpenAI has not open-sourced the code for ChatGPT, replicating the chatbot is a herculean task, and even the big-tech are struggling. But, AI startup Colossal-AI has found a way to build your own ChatGPT with less computing resources. Towards this goal, the company has leveraged a PyTorch-based implementation that covers all three stages from pre-training, reward model training, and reinforcement learning. They offer a demo version of the training process that requires only 1.62 GB of GPU memory and can be done on a single consumer-grade GPU, with 10.3x growth on one GPU model capacity. Check out the GitHub repository here.
Microsoft's Bing downloads peaked due to ChatGPT / Digital Information World
It's been three months since Microsoft and OpenAI revealed their artificial intelligence-powered chatbot. Since its introduction, the bot has become quite famous among tech circles. Microsoft has already planned to bring the bot on board with Bing, a search engine operated by Microsoft. Linking the new AI with search engines is getting all sorts of responses. While some users find it a positive step, others are not in favor of the merger.
