Independent test of #OpenAI’s o1-preview model achieved near-perfect performance on a national #math exam (landing in the top .1% of the nation’s students).
o1 also outperformed 4o on the math test, but took about 3 times longer to do so (10 minutes vs. 3 minutes).

🤣 After Years of Chasing Money, OpenAI Reportedly Giving Up on Being a “Nonprofit”
— Futurism
So OpenAI can use everything ever posted on the internet to train their AI, but Internet Archive can't scan and upload books for people to borrow?? Got it. 🙄

Good. Biden's appointment of Altman to the AI safety and security board is up there with his Garland and Fauci appointments. Bad decisions.
The man has been accused by those who know him in his own inner circle of being "not consistently candid" and if there's anyone who should not be deciding AI risk issues it's someone not candid.
"Scarlett Johansson scandal puts OpenAI's Sam Altman back in the hot seat"
“I have seen the extremely restrictive off-boarding agreement that contains nondisclosure and non-disparagement provisions former OpenAI employees are subject to. It forbids them, for the rest of their lives, from criticizing their former employer.”

OpenAI departures: Why can’t former employees talk, but the new ChatGPT release can?

Like many other technologists, I gave my time and expertise for free to #StackOverflow because the content was licensed CC-BY-SA - meaning that it was a public good. It brought me joy to help people figure out why their #ASR code wasn't working, or assist with a #CUDA bug.
Now that a deal has been struck with #OpenAI to scrape all the questions and answers in Stack Overflow, to train #GenerativeAI models, like #LLMs, without attribution to authors (as required under the CC-BY-SA license under which Stack Overflow content is licensed), to be sold back to us (the SA clause requires derivative works to be shared under the same license), I have issued a Data Deletion request to Stack Overflow to disassociate my username from my Stack Overflow username, and am closing my account, just like I did with Reddit, Inc.
policies.stackoverflow.co/data…
The data I helped create is going to be bundled in an #LLM and sold back to me.
In a single move, Stack Overflow has alienated its community - which is also its main source of competitive advantage, in exchange for token lucre.
Stack Exchange, Stack Overflow's former instantiation, used to fulfill a psychological contract - help others out when you can, for the expectation that others may in turn assist you in the future. Now it's not an exchange, it's #enshittification.
Programmers now join artists and copywriters, whose works have been snaffled up to create #GenAI solutions.
The silver lining I see is that once OpenAI creates LLMs that generate code - like Microsoft has done with Copilot on GitHub - where will they go to get help with the bugs that the generative AI models introduce, particularly, given the recent GitClear report, of the "downward pressure on code quality" caused by these tools?
While this is just one more example of #enshittification, it's also a salient lesson for #DevRel folks - if your community is your source of advantage, don't upset them.

Europäische Datenschützer reichen Beschwerde gegen OpenAI ein
Das KI-Programm ChatGPT veröffentlicht Daten über Privatpersonen, deren Herkunft unklar sei. Das werfen Datenschützer dem Anbieter OpenAI vor. Zudem ließen sich falsche Angaben nicht korrigieren.

1. Telling #AI model to “take a deep breath” causes math scores to soar in study!
2. #OpenAI DALL-E pays more attention to words in all caps.
3. Don't forget to say thank you and please to #LLM because Simon Willison thinks "in the training data, there are lots of examples where a polite conversation was more constructive and useful than an impolite conversation."

OpenAI threatening to leave the EU if they pass legislation requiring them to list their data sources because:
"In addition to the possible business threat, forcing OpenAI to identify its use of copyrighted data would expose the company to potential lawsuits. Generative AI systems like ChatGPT and DALL-E are trained using large amounts of data scraped from the web, much of it copyright protected. When companies disclose these data sources it leaves them open to legal challenges."
Like every other boom tech company, it's just doing labor crimes and theft and claiming you're actually too innovative to be regulated, God.
OpenAI says it could ‘cease operating’ in the EU if it can’t comply with future regulation
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has warned that the company could pull its services from the EU if it finds upcoming regulations too onerous. The EU AI Act is currently being finalized by lawmakers and should become law next year.James Vincent (The Verge)
ChatGPT has leaked conversations and payment info of some users. While #OpenAI feels "awful" about this, experts say users "should have had zero expectation of privacy when using the #ChatGPT web demo."

Reading about #ChatGPT plug-ins and wondering why this is framed as plug-ins for #ChatGPT (giving it "capabilities") rather than #ChatGPT as a plug-in to provide a conversational front-end to other services.
Nevermind, I know why: This is #OpenAI yet again trying to sell their text synthesis machine as "an AI".
Think I've found someone using #OpenAI to post answers to a StackExchange site.

What is the first sci-fi time travel movie where a person can travel back in time, not instantaneously, but at the rate of 1s per second?
In most movies that feature time travel, traveling back in time is instantaneous or takes just a few seconds, regardless of how long ago a person travels back. The exceptions I know of are two of myScience Fiction & Fantasy Stack Exchange
"Here’s the thing, though: the system will frequently give the wrong answers * the real skill in the homework assignment will be in verifying the answers the system churns out — learning how to be a verifier and an editor, instead of a regurgitator.
What is compelling about this new skillset is that it isn’t simply a capability that will be increasingly important in an AI-dominated world: it’s a skillset that is incredibly valuable today. "

The first obvious casualty of large language models is homework: the real training for everyone, though, and the best way to leverage AI, will be in verifying and editing information.Stratechery by Ben Thompson
Mindblowing 🤯
#Whisper is an #openSource #speechRecognition model written in #Python by #OpenAI. I’ve just seen it in action. Extract an #mp3 from a video, run it through Whisper, and it turns every spoken word into text. It even does a very decent job in #Danish. Perfect for subtitling #TV and #video. I am very impressed.
