OpenAI is pitching companies on adding a “”sign in with ChatGPT”” option to their sites, similar to how you might sign in with Google or Facebook. Part of the pitch: Companies that agree can transfer the costs of using OpenAI’s models to their customers. https://x.com/steph_palazzolo/status/1978835849379725350

This matches what the GDPEval paper found. Experts should try using AI a couple times on any task, and then resort to doing it themselves (with appropriate minor AI assistance) if they can’t get AI to work for them. You still save time overall, even when AI fails on some cases. https://x.com/emollick/status/1977874249214779558

I don’t have much to add to the bubble discussion, but the “this time is different” argument is, in part, based on the sincere belief of many at the AI labs that there is a race to superintelligence & the winner gets,.. everything.

Of all the naming mistakes by AI labs, calling what they are building “datacenters” is a big one. “We are building the world’s largest supercomputer in your town” would have been better (along with real stuff like better explaining local water & power impacts, of course)”” / X https://x.com/emollick/status/1978132856879636618

This paper shows that you can predict actual purchase intent (90% accuracy) by asking an LLM to impersonate a customer with a demographic profile, giving it a product & having it give its impressions, which another AI rates. No fine-tuning or training & beats classic ML methods. https://x.com/emollick/status/1976656964622123141
