OpenAI: How much more computer power does it take to make the world better? The Hassabis impact on Gemini and other artificial intelligence models
Increased computer power and data used for training an artificial intelligence model is the thing that’s made the world a better place. Sam Altman wants to raise $7 trillion for more artificial intelligence chips. Is vastly more computer power the thing that will unlock artificial general intelligence?
Openai would get another shove as a result of a boost to the most capable model, Gemini Ultra.
You now can eat a short film of a decent size. I imagine that a one-hour lecture is great if there is a topic you are learning about and you want to find out something. There will be a lot of cool use cases for that.
Since the company didn’t like the way some of the ideas could be used, it chose not to take them to market. In recent months, Hassabis has overseen a dramatic shift in pace of research and releases with the rapid development of Gemini, a ”multimodal” AI model that already powers Google’s answer to ChatGPT and a growing number of Google products. Last week, the company made a quick upgrade to the free version of the model, called Gemini Pro 1.5, in order to analyze huge amounts of text, video and audio at a time.
Hassabis has been responsible for corralling its scientists and engineers in order to counter the rise of OpenAI and its collaboration with Microsoft, seen as a potential threat toAlphabet’s cash.
After riding a riot of excitement and hype, the company was able to get back into the top spot in the tech industry.
Jay Burda, founder and CEO of Scale AI, told a Portuguese expert guide on the large language model he built for himself
Scale AI works closely with its clients to provide and curate the training data they need to build up the AI models behind self-driving cars or large language models. The data comes from people contracted to the company, which has more than half a million workers, according to its website. Much of that workforce has been concentrated in countries that offer relatively cheap labor, like the Philippines, where Remotasks says its recruits mostly train computer vision for autonomous vehicles, helping self-driving cars recognize the shapes around them. But in the past year, the company claims the geography of Remotasks’ workers has shifted to the United States and Europe, as it searches for white-collar skills and language specialists to train large language models—fueling concern that these people are essentially training themselves out of a job.
According to Jay, who asked to use a pseudonym to protect his privacy, the system he was schooling had been built by a company soon to be a household name: OpenAI. As the company attempted to improve its math, his job was to be an expert guide for the large language model. From his home in Portugal, he would tell the model if it was taking the right steps to solve math problems, adding thumbs up or thumbs down emojis to AI-generated answers, and sometimes writing out explanations about why the AI had gone wrong.
Jay says he knew he was training algorithms for the company overseen by Sam Altman because he was invited to join the OpenAI workspace in Slack. He shared a picture of him in the group called “math trainers.” The picture was taken by a researcher named Yuri Burda. But Jay was not working directly for the famous AI company. Instead he was being paid by one of the world’s biggest data labor platforms, called Remotasks, a subsidiary of US startup Scale AI, which was valued at over $7 billion back in 2021 and counts OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, and the US Army among its clients.
