Can META Keep Up With ChatGPT?

📰 AI News

📉 Meta was late to the AI party – and now it’ll never beat ChatGPT

Meta – the tech titan formerly known as Facebook – desperately wants to take pole position at the forefront of AI research, but things aren’t exactly going to plan.

As reported by Gizmochina, Meta lost a third of its AI research staff in 2022, many of whom cited burnout or lack of faith in the company’s leadership as their reasons for departing. An internal survey from earlier this year showed that just 26% of employees expressed confidence in Meta’s direction as a business.

💸 Nvidia's ChatGPT monopoly is going to be worse for gamers than crypto ever was

It seems like only yesterday that gamers everywhere were cursing the existence of Ethereum when they went shopping for the best graphics card they could afford, only to find empty shelves and gloating crypto bros on Twitter flexing with their five RTX GPUs bought for twice their MSRP. Let's not even talk about the scalpers who sold them the cards in the first place.

Since the cryptobubble popped and Ethereum moved to proof of stake rather than proof of work, getting a graphics card has actually been a relatively easy affair, much to gamers' relief. Many of the best cheap graphics card deals now offer well below MSRP prices on high-performance GPUs like the Nvidia RTX 3080 and I even saw an Nvidia RTX 3090 selling for less than $900 at one point.

😂 Google Bard and Bing Chat made it look like I shared fake news

Google launched its chatbot Bard last month. For a moment, if you asked the chatbot about itself, it would claim that it had already been shut down by Google. The mistake led to a saga that included two AI-powered chatbots sourcing incorrect information to each other. I found myself at the center of this series of events, as one of those bots listed my article as a source.

Bard is an AI chatbot that's powered by Google's LaMDA. It competes with Bing Chat, which is powered by OpenAI's GPT-4. Bard launched in preview last week, so people had a chance to play with it and test its artificial intelligence.
