Better use it now before they downgrade.
Or, even worse, make it paid.

Are replenishable?

[Cyber_Rebel]

Are restorable?

Not certain but they weren't even working for me due to the floogates being opened and literally everyone trying to generate images. As someone said, a "cancel job" option on generations which are taking too long should be implemented.



Perhaps by now the issue's been resolved?

Logged back and it's at 100 again so I think it does.
Still, use it before before they downgrade it in a update.

Exclusive: ChatGPT-owner OpenAI is exploring making its own AI chips

October 6, 2023

SAN FRANCISCO/WASHINGTON, Oct 5 (Reuters) - OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is exploring making its own artificial intelligence chips and has gone as far as evaluating a potential acquisition target, according to people familiar with the company’s plans.

The company has not yet decided to move ahead, according to recent internal discussions described to Reuters. However, since at least last year it discussed various options to solve the shortage of expensive AI chips that OpenAI relies on, according to people familiar with the matter.

These options have included building its own AI chip, working more closely with other chipmakers including Nvidia and also diversifying its suppliers beyond Nvidia (NVDA.O).

OpenAI declined to comment.

CEO Sam Altman has made the acquisition of more AI chips a top priority for the company. He has publicly complained about the scarcity of graphics processing units, a market dominated by Nvidia, which controls more than 80% of the global market for the chips best suited to run AI applications.

Can't say I'm impressed with ChatGPT's new image upload tool.

Despite multiple attempts, even shrinking it down to 600x800px (less than 100k), it couldn't handle it.

Anyone else here tried it yet?

It was working perfectly for me at first, but I noticed it started having issue with the number of images. I would often have GPT create an idea for a thought experiment story we were working on, going to Dall-E enabled GPT, and then coming back to reupload the images (for GPT to view) to test if it matched its creative descriptions accurately. I was one of the ones who received updates earlier, so perhaps it's due to volume of users?

If you're referring to something work related like charts, graphs, etc. I'll have to test that out. GPT usually was pretty accurate save for a few minor details. What does yours do exactly? Does it not describe what you're uploading accurately, or just won't process at all?

It just wasn't working at all before. Kept giving me errors.

But it's working fine now! Here's a photo I took during a recent visit to the Shard:

OpenAI in Talks for Deal That Would Value Company at $80 Billion
The San Francisco start-up’s valuation could triple in less than six months.

OpenAI is in talks to complete a deal that would value the company at $80 billion or more, nearly triple its valuation less than six months ago, according to a person with knowledge of the discussions.

The company would sell existing shares in a so-called tender offer led by the venture firm Thrive Capital that would make OpenAI the most valuable start-up in San Francisco, that person said. It was reported earlier by The Information.

In January, Microsoft invested $10 billion in OpenAI, bringing its total investment in the company to $13 billion. In March, Character.ai, another start-up founded by former Google employees that builds online chatbots, raised $150 million in a funding round that valued the company at $1 billion.

A month later, venture-capital firms Thrive Capital, Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz and K2 Global agreed to buy OpenAI shares in a tender offer, valuing the company at around $29 billion.

Now, Thrive is in talks to lead another tender offer than values the company at $80 billion or more, the person with knowledge of the deal said. OpenAI is not issuing new shares. The deal would allow the company’s employees to sell their existing shares.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says ChatGPT would have passed for an AGI 10 years ago

(the-decoder)

Artificial general intelligence is the big goal of OpenAI. What exactly that is, however, is still up for debate.

According to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, systems like GPT-4 or GPT-5 would have passed for AGI to "a lot of people" ten years ago. "Now people are like, well, you know, it's like a nice little chatbot or whatever," Altman said.

The phenomenon Altman describes has a name: It's called the "AI effect," and computer scientist Larry Tesler summed it up by saying, "AI is anything that has not been done yet."

[weatheriscool]

I personally want it to reason and talk to me like a person before I'd declare it as such. I want it to be able to understand feelings and be able to understand certain things without being told.

This AGI would be able to consider and create ideas in its own thought process.

Chat-GPT 4 can't do any of this. Humans can....

[Cyber_Rebel]

For those of you who may not know, it's theorized that this guy might actually be an insider, and there's possible evidence leading in that direction. I will make a post concerning "Arrakis" and what was said in an interview regarding it, as it might explain some things from earlier in the year.

As for BCI:

OpenAI CEO Envisions Neural Device For Telepathic Communication
Sam Altman believes advancements in AI will allow visualization of thoughts in users' field of vision.

(zenger)

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes that there will be a neural device that will be able to display words as you think them and communicate telepathically, a sight that seems to be right out of a science-fiction movie.

Altman believes neural devices will be able to leverage advancements in artificial intelligence to actually visualize the thoughts of people in a word soup in their field of vision.

Microsoft invested $10 billion in OpenAI, which created ChatGPT.

Speaking on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Altman explained that humans will be eventually able to communicate their thoughts with external devices. With enough progress, this could translate to telepathic communication with other human beings as well.

“I think we can do [things] like reading your thoughts with an external device at some point, [like] reading your internal monologue,” said Altman.

----------------------------------------------------------------

It would seem as if Open AI will enter the VR space at some point, potentially challenging the likes of Meta & Apple Vision, though their approach is entirely different. From the podcast, Mr. Altman alluded to full on FDVR. We already know Open AI has a hardware launch in mind with their "Iphone of artificial intelligence. I wonder will they end up revolutionizing other technologies of the 2010s, and bringing an end to the yearly iterative process where it appeared as if progress had slowed?

There's a reason why we call them "disruptive technologies." They just come swinging out of left field, leaving us with jaws dropped.

Frontier risk and preparedness

To support the safety of highly-capable AI systems, we are developing our approach to catastrophic risk preparedness, including building a Preparedness team and launching a challenge.

- Open AI

As part of our mission of building safe AGI, we take seriously the full spectrum of safety risks related to AI, from the systems we have today to the furthest reaches of superintelligence. In July, we joined other leading AI labs in making a set of voluntary commitments to promote safety, security and trust in AI. These commitments encompassed a range of risk areas, centrally including the frontier risks that are the focus of the UK AI Safety Summit. As part of our contributions to the Summit, we have detailed our progress on frontier AI safety, including work within the scope of our voluntary commitments.

And now back to serious AI news. This is a rumor circulating about leaked developments for OpenAI's Dev Day:
