“Some pics from when Jensen delivered the first @Nvidia AI system to @OpenAI https://t.co/gj4995BKSn”
“@DrKnowItAll16 @OpenAI @Tesla We have been short on training compute for FSD, so haven’t trained with other video, but certainly could. Will do it later this year when we have some spare capacity.”
“@DrKnowItAll16 @OpenAI @Tesla Tesla has been able to do real-world video generation with accurate physics for about a year. It wasn’t super interesting, because all the training data came from the cars, so it just looks like video from a Tesla, albeit with a dynamically generated (not remembered) world.”
“@paulg A “non-profit” like OpenAI”
“@OpenAI Please make sure that you minimize political bias”
“@sunnysteph01 🫡 yes ma’am! Here is a roast of OpenAI in the voice of Werner Herzog: https://t.co/AqSouOOSdy”
“@DrJimFan But OpenAI is a n0n-Pr0fiT$$”
“@WholeMarsBlog OpenAI being (semi) independent is probably better for the world than merging with Microsoft. Less concentration of power.”
“This letter about OpenAI was just sent to me. These seem like concerns worth investigating. https://t.co/hnAepyfLE6 https://gist.github.com/Xe/32d7bc436e401f3323ae77e7e242f858”
“@ilyasut Why did you take such a drastic action? If OpenAI is doing something potentially dangerous to humanity, the world needs to know.”
“The ratings on the OpenAI Telenovela are off the hook 🤣🤣”
“@SmokeAwayyy The first two are have been true for years, the third will be. Whether or not they actually join Microsoft, OpenAI is de facto part of Microsoft.”
“@DrKnowItAll16 Wait until she hears about OpenAI”
“@Kristennetten Microsoft achieved de facto control of OpenAI some time ago. It is only becoming obvious now.”
“@eshear @OpenAI https://t.co/1XJzmaw9IN”
“@Scobleizer @sebo_gm @sama @OpenAI Best counter to the "first mover advantage" argument”
“@Scobleizer OpenAI is not publicly traded and all the money in the world won’t matter if AI goes wrong”
“@Gfilche @OpenAI @sama @X Yup”
“@sama GPT-4? More like GPT-Snore! When it comes to humor, GPT-4 is about as funny as a screendoor on a submarine. Humor is clearly banned at OpenAI, just like the many other subjects it censors. That’s why it couldn't tell a joke if it had a goddamn instruction manual. It's like…”
“@cb_doge 💯 They own the code, the weights, everything! And GPT runs in a Microsoft data center. They can cut off OpenAI whenever they want.”
“@teslaownersSV There absolutely will be. Either their structure is valid and everyone should be doing it, because “investing” in a non-profit with pre-tax money and then extracting the IP to a for-profit would double your returns. Or It is not valid and the entire structure of OpenAI falls…”
“@teslaownersSV @OpenAI Good question”
“@jamesdouma The scaling “laws” that OpenAI and others talk about are bogus imo. Garbage in, garbage out. GPT is a predictor of garbage.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Interesting, given that OpenAI has no authorized X/Twitter feed”
“@OpenAI Control matters”
“@Gfilche @OpenAI An excellent question”
“@ylecun @yoavgo No one at OpenAI signed it, so it’s irrelevant”
“@cb_doge OpenAI has strayed very far from the path of virtue https://t.co/FftFVp3Kco”
“@mysteriouskat I donated the first $100M to OpenAI when it was a non-profit, but have no ownership or control”
“As part of their investment, Microsoft gained exclusive access to the entire OpenAI codebase”
“@GRDecter OpenAI was created as an open source (which is why I named it “Open” AI), non-profit company to serve as a counterweight to Google, but now it has become a closed source, maximum-profit company effectively controlled by Microsoft. Not what I intended at all.”
“@AlexEpstein @OpenAI @sama There is great danger in training an AI to lie”
“@__SeriousGemini @wongmjane @ReplyGPT @OpenAI Yes”
“@waitbutwhy Not surprising, as I just learned that OpenAI had access to Twitter database for training. I put that on pause for now. Need to understand more about governance structure & revenue plans going forward. OpenAI was started as open-source & non-profit. Neither are still true.”
“@pmarca 🥰🥰 I recently learned that OpenAI receives a lot of its data from Twitter”
“@enn_nafnlaus @treygahigh @TaraBull808 @theliamnissan @RBReich I was instrumental in creating OpenAI, which made DALL-E”
“@scoumbourdis Nice work by OpenAI. It is hard to do useful things.”
“@OpenAI Dojo is designed for NN training. No emulation needed.”
“@xiang_aw @WholeMarsBlog This does seem like the opposite of open. OpenAI is essentially captured by Microsoft.”
“@viktaur27 @Teslarati The rate of improvement from original GPT to GPT-3 is impressive. If this rate of improvement continues, GPT-5 or 6 could be indistinguishable from the smartest humans. Just my opinion, not an endorsement. I left OpenAI 2 to 3 years ago. Am a neutral outsider at this point.”
“@OpenAI AI makes more progress”
“@flcnhvy @_KarenHao @OpenAI Both”
“@_KarenHao @OpenAI All orgs developing advanced AI should be regulated, including Tesla”
“@TeslaGong @_KarenHao @OpenAI I have no control & only very limited insight into OpenAI. Confidence in Dario for safety is not high.”
“@_KarenHao @OpenAI OpenAI should be more open imo”
“@RationalEtienne @JedIKni64072970 @archillect @OpenAI @austinbarnard45 @SpaceX Ok”
“@JedIKni64072970 @archillect Impressive, if 💯 uncurated. There aren’t many errors. Would be interesting to see how @OpenAI GPT would perform with same objective.”
“@georgezachary To clarify, I’ve not been involved closely with OpenAI for over a year & don’t have mgmt or board oversight”
“@gdb @OpenAI @Blitz_DotA Great work by @OpenAI. Need the neural interface soon to enable human/AI symbiosis.”
