UPDATE

🤖 Sam Altman wants more funds to build ‘superintelligence’

Sam Altman is looking for extra funding from Microsoft to develop super-advanced AI, aiming to match human intelligence. This follows a huge $10 billion deal they already have.

His grand plan? To create what they call AGI – basically, AI that's as clever and aware as people. But it's still just a dream for now. OpenAI, valued at a whopping $29 billion, sees AGI as its future.

So, even though OpenAI is doing great money-wise (they're looking at $1 billion in sales and have this cool $20-a-month ChatGPT subscription), Sam Altman isn't rushing to go public.

He figures making super-smart AI might involve choices that regular investors wouldn't quite dig.

UPDATE

💬 Automated commentary using OpenAI

A person on Twitter recently showcased an AI commentator system, powered by OpenAI's latest vision and text-to-speech feature. The most striking aspect is its ability to operate seamlessly in real-time.

I think sports commentators, should be...maybe not so worried? I mean this is cool, but definitely not the same feel as real ones, but at least AI can be used to comment on less popular games. Imagine the future…
