Sam Altman’s advice at yesterday’s Turing event: Right now, AI startups fall into two distinct categories: Those (implicitly) betting that AI models will stay at the current capability level and those betting the models will get better. The former build things to address the current shortcomings. The latter want the models to get smarter, easier to prompt, more accurate, and faster – because that will make their own products better. Predictably, Sam recommended you to bet on the latter: Models will keep getting smarter and we won’t hit a wall on model intelligence “in the next millenium.” Otherwise, he said (jokingly), the “OpenAI killed my startup” meme will inevitably become your future. What’s your take on the development of model capabilities?
I would add the "OpenAI killed your startup" is not a bad thing; it makes your life easier. Thanks, ChatGPT 4 Turbo team! The only issue with relying too much LLMs like OpenAI's offering is that the answers change over time as they evolve their understanding of what is okay to answer plus the privacy of the user for enterprise and government applications where mission-critical components cannot be inconsistent. That's all for now!
Such a good way to distinguish the two!
