@JoyceInNYC SVB's Chinese*(shanghai arm) is 51% own by SPDB (state owned, Shanghai Pudong Dev Bank) and 49% by SVB. So it will be like FTX and FTX US case...
Before we reach Human-Level AI (HLAI), we will have to reach Cat-Level & Dog-Level AI.
We are nowhere near that.
We are still missing something big.
LLM's linguistic abilities notwithstanding.
A house cat has way more common sense and understanding of the world than any LLM.
By releasing public demos that, as impressive & useful as they may be, have major flaws, established companies have less to gain & more to lose than cash-hungry startups.
If Google & Meta haven't released chatGPT-like things, it's not because they can't. It's because they won't.
To be clear: I'm not criticizing OpenAI's work nor their claims.
I'm trying to correct a *perception* by the public & the media who see chatGPT as this incredibly new, innovative, & unique technological breakthrough that is far ahead of everyone else.
It's just not.
@susuc_eth @thenounsquare I've been absolutely delighted to discover the exceptional level of clarity you have on this issue.
I tip my hat off to you because I know it takes work to get to that level of understanding and savviness.
I look forward to working with you to help many builders get there too🤝
