What did Ilya see? What is going on with OpenAI’s next big model? Are we getting autonomous agents soon?
All of those questions and more were answered (and artfully dodged) by OpenAI’s leadership on Thursday in a Reddit AMA. I threaded some of the highlights, which include OpenAI CEO Sam Altman alluding to AI as “the transcendent future.”
ChatGPT’s web app will have a new magnifying glass icon that you can use to search through all your old chats. OpenAI is rolling out this feature to Plus and Team members starting today, while free users will gain access “throughout the next month.”
The latest AI manifesto, from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, says a lot about the industry’s current moment.
Here’s what Dr. Chatterji, a Duke professor and former CHIPS coordinator for the White House, will do, according to OpenAI:
In this new role, Dr. Chatterji will lead research into how AI will influence economic growth and job creation; including the global economic impacts of building AI infrastructure, insights on longer-term labor market trends, and how to help the current and future workforce harness the benefits of this technology.
Murati is seeking venture capital funds for a new AI startup with its own proprietary models, Reuters reported Friday.
Barret Zoph, an OpenAI researcher who left the same day as Murati may join the venture, according to unnamed sources cited by the outlet.
Microsoft is figuring out how its $14 billion investment in OpenAI will translate into equity when the AI startup transitions into a for-profit company (this transition must occur within two years, or recent investors in the $6.6 billion round can claw back their investment).
To determine the equity distribution, Microsoft and OpenAI have enlisted Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, respectively.
