So it seems unlikely that Alphabet is not just pouring another $10B into DeepMind as Microsoft did with OpenAI?

Hahaha, just kidding. The people at DeepMind are so much more intelligent than the people at OpenAI, they can run all the new models perfectly inside their heads and don't need massive compute to verify and fix their buggy ideas (or hire a load of paid workers for RLHF).

Huh? Of course Google is pouring money into DeepMind, most likely in similar quantities to MS to OAI.

Where did you derive that statement from?

Google is a publicly traded company with open balance sheets. You don’t have to speculate my man

That’s a good point. There accounts for 2021 are here:

That works out at just under 2 billion USD in 2021. Given their own and the industry trend we can probably assume 2022 is higher and 2023 will be higher still.

OAI gave no timeline over which their 10B injection will be spent over, but presumably more than 1 or 2 years. So these two are definitely in the same league.
