> 2. In order to create the models one needs lots of compute and access to a lot of text. Google scores higher than OpenAI on both counts.
If a smaller company with less compute and data commercializes something before Google which has more compute and data, doesn't that mean they are behind? You don't measure a car race by fuel available in the pit and faster top speed. You measure by who gets to the finish first. It just goes to show that Google has a horrible driver.
- jonplackett 3y agoI guess the point is this is a very long race and, actually, the end is still quite far away (if that end is AGI). In his Lex Friedman interview Altman asks ‘what has ChatGPT really fundamentally changed about the world?’ - basically making the point that they’re still just getting started. Having a tonne of compute and cash is still going to be really important in this race. You have to make it to the finish line to win.
- strangattractor 3y agoPart of the point I was trying to make is that there is less benefit to Google to tout their advances - most of this are trade secrets. I could see them using it to enhance their current offerings in subtle ways. Now that the cat is out of the bag that will likely change. Just because OpenAI publicly released a produce doesn't mean Google has not developed their own. It doesn't mean they have either. These models still have a long way to go before they can advise Kirk on running the Enterprise:)
