OpenAI

500+ HackerNoon humans voted asking what would happen in , overwhelmingly chosing the option that Sam Altman would eventually return to OpenAI as CEO. on our poll yesterday the unpredictable roller coaster ride that can only be described as an epic-fail, attempted coup by the (now defunct) OpenAI Board And HackerNoon readers are right! The last & final negotiation to ‘bring Sam back or we’ll quit’ by OpenAI employees and ‘bring Sam, or we’ll pull out” by OpenAI investors, led largely by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and the heavyweights of Silicon Valley (I’ll discuss them later in this article) finally came to its “happy ending.” The coup failed. Sam & Greg would now be welcomed, in their triumphant return, by 95% of OpenAI (738 out of 770 employees, per Bloomberg, signed the letter), a brand new Board, and more fame & power than ever! The smoking gun is still not out yet (and it’s unclear whether it will ever be clarified), but I’m still semi-confident that more research papers, lawsuits, and even policy changes will come out in the next months or years to shed light on what happened. And this is not the end of the turmoil at OpenAI just yet. But first, a quick recap To be caught up 100% on this drama, you should go ahead and read and . When we left off, Sam and Greg were still on their way out the door and to join Microsoft, to be (lol). A new interim CEO was announced (replacing the already interim CEO Mira Murati, who turned out to be a Sam loyalist): Emmett Shear, best known for being the ex-CEO of Twitch. Yup, Twitch. The game streaming platform. Nothing AI-related. my story on Friday, which announced and speculated on the details of Sam Altman’s firings the one on Monday, which laid out a chronological timeline of what transpired over the weekend just another corporate normie Satya Nadella, Microsoft CEO, while very positive and upbeat in all his and , indicated strongly that changes would absolutely need to be made on the Corporate Governance level, and there should be no more surprises for Microsoft, a 49% stakeholder, and the most important institutional partner of OpenAI. I read that as: Board has to be fired, and there’s no way Microsoft will be in this situation ever again with the new Board. public appearances annoucements And then, around midnight Tuesday, Nov 21/ early morning Wednesday, Nov 22 - Open AI you-know-what, the news that Sam & Co & most Silicon Valley optimists have been waiting for: announced SAM 👏 IS 👏 BACK 👏 That same announcement mentioned that the new Board of OpenAI will consist of Bret Taylor (Chair), Adam D’eangelo, and Larry Summer. Notably, it does not mention Sam Altman, Ilya Sutskever, Tasha McCauley, and Helen Toner. The /For-Profit Misalignment: The Bane of OpenAI’s Existence NonProfit I think the most plausible theory as to why the coup was allowed to happen is the following: the (now defunct) Board of OpenAI, a nonprofit that controls the for-profit LLC (go figure), is supposed to have no incentive whatsoever to maximize profit, which is the main point of the OpenAI that is the maker of the Chatgpt, that raised 13 billion from Microsoft, and that had a fiduciary duty to make money for its investors. All voting members of the Board, including Altman himself, hold no shares of OpenAI. Their mission, as stated in the company bylaws, is to “ensure that artificial general intelligence—AI systems that are generally smarter than humans—benefits all of humanity.” In other words, the nonprofit Board, which oversees the for-profit LLC, , Microsoft computing powers (which is absolutely required to do the kind of research needed to roll out AGI), or the fact that OpenAI since the release of ChatGPT had become the de-facto zeitgeist tech company in decades. All it was interested in, and was legally required to oversee was the safe rollout of Artificial General Intelligence, or AGI. It was, in theory, perfectly happy not to make any more money, shrink, and return to a small elite research group. has no interest whatsoever in making money back for the investors This theory I thought, was the most plausible because (as mentioned in ) of the fact that I , OpenAI Cofounder and Chief Scientist, was part of the original Board faction that ousted Sam in the first place. (He later on regretted his decision and made a U-turn that it’s safe to say surprised absolutely everybody) He is a brilliant mind and is widely believed to be the brain of the Operation. In fact, he was courted to OpenAI by Elon Musk himself (from Google Deepmind), which, , caused an apparent fracture in Elon Musk and Google CEO Larry Page’s longtime friendship. The fracture at the time (back in 2015/2016) was around AI safety. Ilya cared about AI safety, and so did Elon, while Larry didn’t. So, Ilya became team OpenAI. my last story lya Sutskever according to Musk Another reason why I thought this is a fundamental disagreement/misalignment around AI Safety is the fact that Helen Toner, one of the 3 Board members who voted to oust Sam, recently that (as reported by the New York Times) was in favor of OpenAI’s direct competitor Anthropic and critical of OpenAI’s approach to roll out AGI. Anthropic, mind you, was created exactly because of this AI safety tension. Its founders are Dario Amodei, OpenAI’s former vice president of research, and his sister, Daniela Amodei, who was OpenAI’s vice president of safety and policy. Several other OpenAI research alumni were also on Anthropic’s founding team. Even weirder, Anthropic CEO Dario was reported to have been poached by the old Board re/ a potential merger with OpenAI (lol, the company it departed from in the first place) and refused. wrote a research paper And lastly, just yesterday, mere hours before the news of Sam and Greg’s triumphant return broke, Elon Musk, the original founder and investor in OpenAI himself, shared on his own owned platform X, a letter from “concerned” former employees of OpenAI about, among many things, a disturbing pattern of behaviors from Sam Altman and co, to not listen to the safety researchers. See the full letter . In other words, most of the people who have been in major disagreement with Sam re/ AI safety over the years have left. What’s left of OpenAI, for the most part, is Sam’s loyalists. here Meet the OpenAI’s New Board of Directors In the negotiation to have Sam Altman return as CEO, the (old) Board agreed to have these 3 initial individuals on the Board. So, let’s meet them. Bret Taylor Bret Taylor is one of the most well-connected and respected technologists in Silicon Valley. He is best known for serving as the former CEO of Salesforce, the leading company in cloud-based software services. But even more notably, Taylor played a pivotal role as the Chair of (the former)Twitter's Board of Directors, where he was instrumental in (forcing) the acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk after the billionaire flip-flopped out of the 44 billion dollar deal (see , and ). here here here Larry Summer Lawrence "Larry" Summers is an American economist, former Vice President of Development Economics and Chief Economist of the World Bank, and former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. He is best known for serving as the 27th President of Harvard University. During his tenure at Harvard, Summers sparked controversy with his comments about women in science, suggesting intrinsic differences in aptitude between men and women could be a reason for the underrepresentation of women in science and engineering fields. These remarks led to widespread criticism and played a significant role in his eventual resignation from the presidency of Harvard. Go figure. Adam D’Angelo Adam D'Angelo the CEO of Quora, a popular question-and-answer website. Prior to Quora, he was the Chief Technology Officer at Facebook, and might also have been one of its many cofounders besides Mark Zuckerberg. Most notably, he’s the only standing member of the OpenAI Board that will still serve in this new board. Yup, the Board that ousted Sam in the first place. Hmmm a superb business deal-maker ( ), an influential albeit controversial economist would not have bode well with the ousted board members, both of whom women!), and a mysterious CEO who rarely gave interviews (nobody knows why Adam (allegedly) ousted Sam, even to this day)… those are the people who we current have controlling the fate of the arguably most influential technology of our time. the only adult in a room who could make Elon adhere to his legally binding contract to buy Twitter (Larry’s sexist comments about women's intellect Concluding thoughts (hopefully for the last time on this saga, for now) AI might be the most important technology of this decade and the decades to come. But the story unfolded this past weekend just shows us how incredibly flawed the people under peril of whose it’s being controlled are. Savvy tech + flawed humans = pretty disastrous combo, IMHO. No matter how flawed, irrational, and seemingly out of their mind insane the now-defunct OpenAi board seems in their decision to fire Sam; there’s still a big, giant, and humongous elephant in the room that is the event that triggers the decision in the first place. It was reported that Sam has fundamentally agreed to a thorough investigation upon returning. Until then, I will remain skeptical at best at this new Board’s ability to simultaneously uphold OpenAI’s lofty mission to save humanity from the super smart robots (paraphrased) while making lots of money simultaneously. Seems a paradox, just like capitalism, effective altruism, and human beings for that matter.

The Noonification: Chronological Feed: Sam Altman Fired by OpenAI Board  Hired By Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella (maybe) (11/21/2023)

of Sam Altman’s forced ousting by OpenAI Board got even weirder and stranger over the weekend. If you are not in tech, I envy you. Your tech friends just binge watched 3 seasons of Succession and got left on a cliff hanger! But anyway, here are the sequence of events since Sam’s forced ousting on Friday 12:59 pm Monday Nov 20, 2023: The absolutely bizzare story : Greg Brockman, OpenAI COO/Chairman of the Board/Co-founder, , in solidarity with Sam. He mentioned knowing of the news mere minutes before it went out. Late Friday Nov 17 quit : several high ranking talents @ openAI quit. Turns out, Greg & Sam are pretty popular leaders. Then, there was a coordinated effort from many OpenAI employees to signal to the public who would all quit if Greg & Sam are not back, by quoting Sam’s tweet “I love the OpenAI team so much” with a heart emoji. Notably, to-be-interim CEO Mira Murati was part of that effort. Saturday Nov 18 : Sam got back in the OpenAI office for a negotiation with Board re/ his (and Greg’s) potential return. Condition would have been to find a new board, and all current board members to resign. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella led the negotiation between Sam & board. A 5pm deadline was set and missed. Late Saturday Nov 18 :  Sam again got back in the office for a negotiation with Board re/ his (and Greg’s) potential return. Sam mentioned that this time, it would be his last. Another 5pm deadline was set and missed. Sunday Nov 19 Groundhog’s Day Monday Nov 20: a “bring sam back or we’ll quit” letter was leaked. Out of 770+ employees, 667 (and counting) have signed on to the letter, as of 10am MT Monday. Notably, it got cut off at the word “Iliya Sutskever”, the Chief Scientist Officer, one of 6 board members, the one whose vote was instrumental in ousting Sam. : Former CEO of Twitch, Emmett Shear, accepted job offer to be CEO of OpenAI! Midnight Sunday Nov 19/ Monday Nov 20 : Satya Nadella announced that Sam & Greg would, get this, JOIN MICROSOFT. More info . ok Monday Nov 20 here ….And we are half way over yet with Monday. “Concluding” Thoughts, aka WTF? I’m sure the story will continue to develop, hence the “concluding” is in quotation marks. But here are some of my thoughts on this absolutely insane story. And this time - I would like you, the readers - to help answer/shed some lights on some of them. : excuse my language, but who the fuck came up with this unnecessarily complicated and bizarre idea? And more importantly, why? . The former cares not at all about profit, while the latter is driven by it. The OpenAI Board consists of literally no one who has actual skin in the game. None of them holds OpenAI shares. In fact, the Quora CEO, has a conflict of interest in the form of his own ! Microsoft, who owns 49% of OpenAI shares, has no Board seat. Go figure. The Nonprofit Board controlling a For-profit Company The incentive of a nonprofit board is highly at odds with the incentive of a for-profit board alternative AI model, called Poe . I was following just fine on the OpenAI story (it was crazy, insane, glitch in the universe, etc, but it made sense….until he apologized). There are 6 Board members of OpenAI: CEO/founder Sam Altman, COO/cofounder Greg Brockman, CSO Ilya Suskever, Quora CEO Adam D’Angelo, Tech Entrepreneur Tasha McCauley, and Georgia Tech Director of Grants Helen Toner. In order to oust the CEO, there has to be a majority, aka, 4 votes. We know that Sam & Greg are on the same side. That leaves Ilya Suskever being the instrumental vote in forcing Sam’s ousting. Some people even call it a coup between the AI accelerationist vs. the AI safetyist. AND NOW ILYA’S APOLOGIZING? And telling the board he would… resign? If he saw something so atrocious from their “deliberate review” process that shows Sam not being “candid” with Board and render board lack “confidence” in Sam’s ability to run the company… WHAT IS IT? And why is it not important now? like, wtf? I don’t know much about Ilya’s motivation or what he knows that we don’t, but given I think his vote could have been a hallucination corrected by reinforcement learning from human feedback: The absolute bizarreness that is Ilya Sutskever’s U-turn what lya  Sutskever said in a March of this year interview with HackerNoon ” “We call it Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback. We can say that in the pre-training process, you want to learn everything about the world. With reinforcement learning from human feedback, we care about the outputs. We say, anytime the output is inappropriate, don't do this again. Every time the output does not make sense, don't do this again.And it learns quickly to produce good outputs. But it's the level of the outputs, which is not the case during the language model pre-training process. Now on the point of hallucinations, it has a propensity of making stuff up from time to time, and that's something that also greatly limits their usefulness.But I'm quite hopeful that by simply improving this subsequent reinforcement learning from human feedback step, we can teach it to not hallucinate. Now you could say is it really going to learn? My answer is, let's find out. Microsoft tanked by 1% from the news of Sam’s ousting on Friday, which came out before market closes. As the CEO, Satya Nadella has fiduciary duty to fulfill to his shareholders (unlike, idk, the OpenAI board), he’s been instrumental in all these back-and-forth negotiations between the ideologues and the operators of OpenAI. All I can say right now is it sure as hell looks like Microsoft literally just acqui-hired OpenAI (Sam, Greg, and what looks like 80% of a company that was recently valued $80 Bilion) for $10 Billion dollars. What a move. Is the winner, ultimately, Microsoft? Nobody knows. Literally. They all have been sending extremely mixed signals to the public. In one breath threatening board to resign and leave with Sam and in the same breath saying they are “more united” than ever. Apparently, according to the Verge, the hiring of Sam & Greg and “colleagues” (read: almost all of OpenAI) is not even final yet. And the new CEO Emmett Shear is having a hard time gathering paperwork and having employees follow his order. What will happen to OpenAI next? : AI might be the most important technology of this decade, and the decades to come. But the story unfolded this past weekend just shows us how incredibly flawed the people under peril of whose it’s being controlled are. Savvy tech + flawed humans = pretty disastrous combo, imho. Whether or not you feel hopeful or doomed about the future, going forward, very much depends on your predisposition and existing temperament to begin with. If Ilya the scientist can make a u-turn, i guess so can the future of humanity. The danger of leaving AI’s fate in a few PS: So sorry that this story was extremely twitter-screenshot heavy. It’s not my fault that tech rank-and-files still latch on to that platform like moths despite everything. So I will leave you with this screenshot, from , instead. Until next time! threads

Well well well. Look at that Friday afternoon news dump…. Sam Altman was the Face of OpenAI, the Maker of ChatGPT is Just last week (also on a Friday), I wrote about following its first ever DevDay conference. Companies typically do this when they get big. Think: Apple’s demo of the iPhone, or the App Store. Sam Altman gave for that launch which intro-ed a suit of product features by OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT. His speech was aspirational and grand, emulating similar feelings to those that Steve Jobs used to make. OpenAI’s latest GPTs launch the keynote speech Just under a year ago, was the first of , and counting, on the absolutely tectonic shift that is chatGPT, LLMs (Large Language Models), and AI as a whole. AI was having a moment. It still is. The world hasn’t looked back since. my story on ChatGPT over 500+ stories HackerNoon currently hosts Tech’s New Golden Boy and Its Latest Hope If you don’t live under a rock, you probably know who Sam Altman is. Just under a year, he went from being a semi-famous-yet-obscured-to-the-public-at-large technologist, having previously served as president of Y Combinator, the most well-known startup incubator in Silicon Valley ( )… to being a household name (in other words, ), among the likes of Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Bill Gates. He was among the few CEOs invited to the White House to recently advise the government on AI regulation. This also gave rise to the White House’s first ever Executive Order on AI, which you can read . (The AI industry’s reaction to this EO has been… mixed.) here’s his original 2017 essay on UBI titled American Equity, published on HackerNoon famous-famous here May I remind you, right around the time of Sam Altman’s meteoric rise, another Sam was having his (less positive) moment. The darling of Crypto, people used to call him. The rise of a “good” Sam feels diametrically opposed to . “He’s a good one”, touted tech journalist Kara Swisher on her podcast “Pivot”, referring to Sam Altman. the downfall of crypto’s golden boy Sam Bankman-Fried The parallel rise and fall of the 2 CEOs, I’m sure, would be a fascinating topic to unpack for months if not years to come, for those interested in tech and invested in its long term future, as well as those on both sides of the spectrum of techno-optimism ( ). As people were losing hope in crypto, due to 1 Sam, they were gaining hope in AI, thanks to another Sam. This time would be different, people were feeling. Redemption for tech again! as Marc Andreesen calls it Until….. Sam Altman’s Sudden Ousting as CEO In a public published early afternoon Friday, November 17, OpenAI stated Sam Altman’s sudden departure following a “deliberate review process” which rendered the Board no longer have “confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.” See the full statement . blog post here People were having questions… What was in that deliberate review? Lacking confidence in what way? Does it have anything to do with his ? Or because ? Or the allegation that while being a corporation at heart? Or ? Or his as a Democrat in 2024? multiple lawsuits he wore a neon polo with a double popped collar to OpenAI Dev Day OpenAI hides under its 501(c)3 umbrella his sister’s allegation of child-on-child sexual abuse (apparent/possible) bid to run for President And most importantly, why now? Wasn’t he just representing the company in many important moments, as recent as last week? CTO Mira Murati to Serve as OpenAI’s Interim CEO In that same official annoucement, the company briefly mentioned the temporary replacement for Altman. Her name is . Mira Murati Here’s what OpenAI said about Murati: “Mira Murati, the company’s chief technology officer, will serve as interim CEO, effective immediately. A member of OpenAI’s leadership team for five years, Mira has played a critical role in OpenAI’s evolution into a global AI leader. She brings a unique skill set, understanding of the company’s values, operations, and business, and already leads the company’s research, product, and safety functions. Given her long tenure and close engagement with all aspects of the company, including her experience in AI governance and policy, the board believes she is uniquely qualified for the role and anticipates a seamless transition while it conducts a formal search for a permanent CEO.” Personally, I have an interest in this person, as she was only 2 years my senior at UWC ( ), the high school system which I was also a part of :) I went to the one in India, and she went to the one in Canada. Also, excited that the CTO of such a company is a woman. But I digress… United World College My concluding thoughts on the Idolatry of Technologists The company is on the hunt now for its permanent CEO, as cited in the blog post. The sudden ousting of Sam Altman definitely came as a surprise to the tech world, down to the company’s own employees ( , who’s in contact with many sources within the company). It seems that their employees learned about the news around the same time the public did. as reported by the Verge It also seems like whatever Sam did, only a handful of the higher ups at OpenAI (and probably its many lawyers now), are privy to. What I can say now, is this rather crude take. This is just another blow to the Marc Andreesens of the world. And by that I mean the people at the , the people who love to argue for a world free of tech scrutiny and who are are okay with the Idolization, over-glorification or even Apotheosis of the technologists who make it happen (Apotheosis is a word I just googled. It means treating someone as though they are god). You know the type. They are the ones with checked marks on Twitter, I mean, X. The Musk “groupies”, if you will. highest totem pole of tech, the techno-optimists Ever since Sam ascended to his current position, I’ve seen a number of behaviors from Sam’s groupie. . No shade to him, of course. My ex-employer included Time will tell. But right now, I’m excited for Mira!

[Transcript] OpenAI DevDay Keynote by Sam Altman & Romain Huet About Assistants API & Custom Models

OpenAI has been making waves in the artificial intelligence world with the rapid development and release of powerful language models like GPT-4 and its consumer incarnation, ChatGPT. Today, they unveiled a slate of developer-focused updates at their inaugural DevDay event. These new releases promise major improvements in AI capabilities through features like the new GPT-4 Turbo model and the Assistants API. A sector that will likely see a significant impact from these updates is the ecosystem of so-called "GPT wrappers." “GPT wrappers” are third-party services that provide extended functionality by wrapping the base GPT models with additional code. With the continuous evolution of ChatGPT and OpenAI's API gaining powerful new features, wrappers must quickly adapt or risk being obsoleted while still in their infancy. In this article, I’ll dive into OpenAI's latest offerings and analyze what they could mean for the future of ChatGPT wrappers like my own startup, Olympia. We'll speculate on how Olympia and similar services might evolve as OpenAI continues its rapid pace of development. Stick around for an inside look at the innovations shaping the AI landscape. DevDay Announcements Recap OpenAI revealed several major new offerings at DevDay that promise to push AI capabilities even further toward their stated goal of incrementally transforming the world via agents and AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9mJuUkhUzk&embedable=true Here are some of the highlights: ChatGPT4 Turbo The star of the show was GPT-4 Turbo, the latest iteration of OpenAI's conversational model. GPT-4 Turbo can handle much longer conversational context - up to 128,000 tokens, compared to the 8,000 token limit of the current GPT-4 model. The longer context allows for much longer conversations, boasting the equivalent of 300 printed pages of information before running out of space. Turbo is also faster and features upgraded memory and reasoning capabilities for more natural, human-like exchanges. The model is also equipped with powerful new capabilities related to generating JSON output and calling functions, including calling more than one function at a time in sequence or parallel. These improvements make the GPT-4 Turbo OpenAI's most capable conversational AI to date and put it further in the lead ahead of competitors and open-source models. Assistants API OpenAI unveiled their Assistants API, which allows developers to integrate stateful chat completions without having to build that functionality themselves. In addition to statefulness, it also adds retrieval functions, a class of functionality that almost every wrapper application has had to until now implement themselves. Other parts of the new API handle speech recognition and synthesis, and accessing external knowledge. Reduced Prices In response to feedback from developers over the high costs associated with OpenAI's language models, Sam Altman’s latest update brought some much-needed relief. One of the most welcomed announcements at DevDay was the significant reduction in prices across the platform, aimed at passing on savings to developers. Altman revealed reduced pricing for their largest systems, GPT-4 Turbo and GPT-3.5 Turbo. GPT-4 Turbo's input tokens are now 3x cheaper than GPT-4 at $0.01, and output tokens are 2x cheaper at $0.03. GPT-3.5 Turbo input tokens are 3x cheaper than the previous 16K model at $0.001, and output tokens are 2x cheaper at $0.002. Developers previously using GPT-3.5 Turbo 4K can benefit from a 33% reduction on input tokens at $0.001. Along with efficiency improvements, these changes make OpenAI's tech much more affordable. Impact on GPT Wrappers OpenAI's latest offerings promise to advance the current state-of-the-art in conversational AI significantly. For GPT wrapper services built on OpenAI's foundation models, these upgrades represent exciting new capabilities to integrate into their products. With its boosted memory, reasoning, and conversational context, Turbo overcomes many of the limitations that wrapper services currently try to work around. The expanded context size alone is a game-changer - no longer will conversations hit a brick wall after relatively few exchanges. We built with the goal of offering a friendlier, more capable conversational experience than our main competitor ChatGPT. Along with hundreds of other GPT wrappers out there, we can now leverage Turbo's better performance and lower cost. Olympia Our well-honed techniques like sentiment tuning and personality injection pair perfectly with Turbo's enhancements to create more human interactions between our assistants and users. Looking Ahead With OpenAI's startling pace of innovation showing no signs of slowing down, these new offerings are likely just a glimpse of what's to come. Future improvements to foundation models like GPT-4 Turbo and advanced training techniques will unlock even more powerful conversational AI. The path forward is to closely track OpenAI's progress and rapidly integrate each new feature into the products. Wrappers that can quickly adopt cutting-edge updates will be able to stay ahead of the pack and ChatGPT itself. Specifically, Olympia may want to prepare for integrations with future upgrades like: - Longer contexts mean our assistants can “remember” more about our users and their businesses whenever they talk to them. Even larger context capacity - Models that can understand and generate image, video, and audio content alongside text can open up engaging new interaction possibilities, such as AI-backed graphic designers. Multimodal capabilities - As seen with the Assistants API, domain-specific modules tailored to focused topics will lead to more knowledgeable AI. Specialized domain training We're just beginning to glimpse the creative, productive potential of this technology. Advanced AI is poised to become an integral part of our lives at a pace that few people in the world could have imagined. The next few years promise to be an exciting ride!

Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa now have formidable competition in OpenAI’s latest version of ChatGPT. The chatbot now has new capabilities, allowing users to speak to it and receive an audio response. According to OpenAI’s release notes on its : website “We are beginning to roll out new voice and image capabilities in ChatGPT. They offer a new, more intuitive type of interface by allowing you to have a voice conversation or show ChatGPT what you’re talking about. “Snap a picture of a landmark while traveling and have a live conversation about what’s interesting about it. When you’re home, snap pictures of your fridge and pantry to figure out what’s for dinner (and ask follow up questions for a step by step recipe). After dinner, help your child with a math problem by taking a photo, circling the problem set, and having it share hints with both of you.” This is a fascinating leap for the chatbot and will likely open a world of information for millions of users. The efforts CEO Sam Altman put into his work is astounding and, according to , he worked so hard on building Loopt, his first project, that he suffered from malnutrition and got scurvy — a vitamin-C deficiency that stems from not eating enough fruits and vegetables. New York Magazine Now, over a decade after selling that startup (for over $40 million), Altman’s company allows Plus users on iOS and Android to use their voice to engage in a two-sided conversation with ChatGPT.  ‘ “Speak with it on the go, request a bedtime story, or settle a dinner table debate,” the company said in its announcement. To use the app with voice, head to Settings → New Features on the mobile app and opt into voice conversations. Then, tap the headphone button located in the top-right corner of the home screen and choose your preferred voice out of five different voices. OpenAI has also announced that Plus users can now show ChatGPT one or more images. “Troubleshoot why your grill won’t start, explore the contents of your fridge to plan a meal, or analyze a complex graph for work-related data. To focus on a specific part of the image, you can use the drawing tool in our mobile app.” To use this feature, tap the photo button to capture or choose an image. You can also discuss multiple images or use our drawing tool to guide your assistant. If you’re on iOS or Android, tap the plus button first. OpenAI explains that image understanding is powered by multimodal GPT-3.5 and GPT-4. “These models apply their language reasoning skills to a wide range of images, such as photographs, screenshots, and documents containing both text and images,” the company said. Of course Amazon that it will invest up to $4 billion in Anthropic — the AI startup founded by siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei – former OpenAI employees. announced on Monday This deal is relatively miniscule compared to the reported $13 billion that Microsoft has so far invested into OpenAI, according to The Verge. OpenAI recognizes the risks inherent in its technology and addresses these concerns. The company says its goal is “to build AGI that is safe and beneficial.” The company also says it believes in “making our tools available gradually, which allows us to make improvements and refine risk mitigations over time while also preparing everyone for more powerful systems in the future.” Naturally, this strategy becomes even more important with advanced AI models involving voice and vision. OpenAI's new technology, capable of crafting realistic synthetic voices from a few seconds of real speech, opens doors to many creative and accessibility-focused applications. However, the company acknowledges that these capabilities also present new risks, “such as the potential for malicious actors to impersonate public figures or commit fraud.” For this reason, Open AI explained it is using voice actors they worked directly with and is collaborating in a similar way to Spotify, which is using this technology for the pilot of its feature. Voice Translation OpenAI acknowledges that vision-based models also “present new challenges, ranging from hallucinations about people to relying on the model’s interpretation of images in high-stakes domains.” Before deploying the technology more broadly, the company says it tested the model “for risk in domains such as extremism and scientific proficiency, and a diverse set of alpha testers.” This research enabled the company to calibrate the technology in important and sensitive areas to ensure it can be used responsibly. OpenAI says it has taken “technical measures to significantly limit ChatGPT’s ability to analyze and make direct statements about people since ChatGPT is not always accurate and these systems should respect individuals’ privacy.” Since users might depend on ChatGPT for specialized topics, such as research, the company says it is “transparent” about the AI model’s limitations and therefore discourages its use for sensitive areas and certainly without verification. This terrific advancement on the technology side clearly comes with significant risk, but the excitement is palpable and hopefully the benefits will outweigh the threat. We can’t wait to see what comes next!
