Microsoft was already spending over $10.7 billion per quarter to build out data centers and AI compute (Q4 2023). There are reports that Microsoft will increase this capital spending to $50 billion per year. This would be averaging $12.5 billion per quarter. This capex spending is up from $7.8 billion in Q3 2023 (Jan-Apr 2023). …
An OpenAI employee has observed that Large Language Models starting with the same dataset converge to the same point. This would mean curating the data is the critical step in creating safe ASI (Artificial Super Intelligence). If we can front load the AI with the desired ethical and pro-humanity examples, then the resulting AI system …
Dr Alan Thompson has been closely tracking all AI and large language models at lifearchitect.ai. Alan believes the Q Star rumors are a red herring but he has been saying the critical next steps to go to 60-80% AGI are humanoid robotics. Humanoid robotics that are could pass Steve Wozniak’s test of AGI: walk into …
The battle at OpenAI was possibly due to a massive breakthrough dubbed Q* (Q-learning). Q* is a precursor to AGI. What Q* might have done is bridged a big gap between Q-learning and pre-determined heuristics. This could be revolutionary, as it could give a machine “future sight” into the optimal next step, saving it a …
there are reports from Reuters that OpenAI has a new large language model called Q* (Q Star) that is capable of solving simple math problems. The researchers involved believe it is a major step toward creating artificial general intelligence (AGI) and possibly artificial superintellence (ASI). Some at OpenAI believe Q* (pronounced Q-Star) could be a …
