OpenAI, the research lab responsible for the viral ChatGPT chatbot, is in talks to sell shares in a deal that would value the company at $29 billion, according to sources familiar with the matter. This would make it one of the most valuable U.S. startups on paper, despite generating little revenue. Venture-capital firms Thrive Capital and Founders Fund are in talks to buy the shares, and the deal could total at least $300 million in OpenAI share sales. The deal would roughly double OpenAI’s valuation from a prior tender offer completed in 2021, when the company was valued at $14…

As the capabilities of ChatGPT, a new artificial intelligence tool, continue to advance, Reese Waters, host of WUSA9’s Open Mic, finds himself in a state of panic in today’s show.

Philip Wang, the mastermind behind the reverse-engineering of several closed-source AI systems like DALL-E 2, AlphaFold, and Imagen, has just released an implementation of PaLM + RLHF, a text-based AI model that works just like ChatGPT. This system combines Google’s PaLM, an LLM (large language model) with 540B parameters (3x more parameters than ChatGPT), and a method commonly known as Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF) to allow for the creation of a chatbot that can do just about anything ChatGPT can, including answering general questions, writing emails, and creating computer code. Note that this version isn’t exactly the same…

The release of ChatGPT, a chatbot developed by OpenAI, has sent shockwaves through the tech community and has sparked a heated debate about the future of open research in the field of deep learning.

It all started with a tweet from Medvedev, in which he made a series of bold predictions for the year 2023, including a rise in oil and gas prices, the collapse of the European Union, and the creation of a “Fourth Reich”. In response, Musk tweeted that these predictions showed an “astonishing lack of awareness” and highlighted the importance of progress…

Keep your head up, artists, the end isn’t here yet. A new AI tool called Masked Auto Encoders (MAE) could finally solve the ongoing issue of copyright infringement in the world of digital art. If you’re not familiar with AI art, it’s essentially artwork that is created by AI software, such as Dall-E 2, Midjourney, or Stable Diffusion. AI art is generated using vast datasets of images, such as LAION 5b. While it’s an exciting new frontier for artists and other creatives, it’s also been plagued by copyright infringements en masse. Why? These AI models often utilize images and artworks…

In a groundbreaking achievement, Aaron Kemmer and his co-producer Richard Juan have successfully used ChatGPT, one of today’s hottest artificial intelligence chatbots, to write and direct a film in just one weekend.
