A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

An internal Google communication that recently became public hints at an unexpected twist in the competition for supremacy in generative AI. In this note, a Google AI specialist expressed: „In the generative AI race, it seems that we might not be the frontrunners, and neither is OpenAI. Amid our race, a dark horse has stealthily snuck in and claimed our prize.“ So, who is this elusive third player? Could it be Amazon Web Services (AWS), IBM, or Baidu? Surprisingly, none of the above. It’s the open-source community.

I'm not sure if nerdswire.de is exactly a reputable news site. While this is a real article, and a real interview, the original news and interview is from SemiAnalysis .

The OpenAI guy (sam Friedman or Altman??) also expressed this a couple months ago if I'm not mistaken. The stakes for them are much higher and they have to be way more careful about what they release. Glory to FOSS!

Wonder why they are pushing for regulation.

Sounds like a way to make regulators look away from Google while they secretly harness the power of AI.

It's like "oh look at the open source community"... :) Specially since regulators cant do shit about that. But they leave Google alone.

So Google with their billions and decades of private data about users are weaker at building models than open source enthusiasts on their free time? Yeah.. Not likely.

I think people are way to gullible and don't understand how media opinion is controlled and shaped by people being specifically paid to do exactly that, as it's their primary job, working for Google.
