  • OpenAI is both irrrelevant and fucked.  (SemiAnalysis)

    This is allegedly a leaked document from Google, but whether that's true or not the analysis is accurate.  It explains in detail how OpenAI went in a matter of weeks from a tech darling - a purveyor of complete crap, yes, but that doesn't matter to the investors - to utterly irrelevant.

    Free software that you can not only run, but train, on consumer-level hardware is now nearly as capable as ChatGPT and free of the biases OpenAI cripples its own software with.

    This is exactly what befell OpenAI's Dall-E image generation AI.  In two years it went from being the market leader to not even being thought about, mostly because of OpenAI's mishandling.

1 "We at Amnesty International deeply regret getting caught lying.  In the past, we were simply content to stage photo ops or recontextualize images to generate sympathy, and more importantly, revenue.  In this instance, we did something that could actually be proven to be a deliberate lie.  We will work harder in the future to cloak our lies in a fog of ambiguity."

2 "It's a $170 7" tablet that costs $1700 because it folds."

That hurts, man.
I think a foldable tablet/phone would be pretty neat, but no way I'm paying anywhere near that kind of scratch.

Apple pies are delicious. But never mind apple pies. What colour is a green orange?
