Ha! Go listen to Lex's podcast. Ian explains it all and it was ALL while working at Google.

Geeze. Who do you think invented Transformers?

NO!!! GANs were invented by Ian while he was working at Google. It is a pretty interesting story.

The vast majority of the major AI breakthroughs from the last decade+ came from Google.

OpenAI really does NOT do R&D. THey more use the R&D from others and mostly Google.

> OpenAI trained GPT on Microsoft Azure - it has zero to do with Google's TPU.

Geeze. ChatGPT would NOT exist if not for Google because the underlying tech was invented by Google.

OpenAI uses other people's stuff instead of inventing things themselves like Google.

Many of the big AI breakthroughs from the last decade+ have come from Google. GANs is another perfect example.

The TPUs are key in being able to bring a large language model to market at scale. Not training but the inference aspect.

Geeze. What a bunch of nonsense. ChatGPT would NOT even be possible without Google.

Google has made most of the major AI fundemental breakthroughs in the last decade+. Google leads in every layer of the AI stack without exception.

A big one is silicon. They started 8 years ago and now on their fifth generation. Their fourth was settting all kinds of records.

> OpenAI is overwhelmingly a net consumer of AI research

Exactly. Not sure why people do not get this? Google has made many of the major fundamental AI breakthroughs from the last decade+.

So many fundamental things. GANs for example.

Agree. But curious why reality gets a down vote?

I think that is a given. Is that not what DeepMind, Google Brain and many others pursuing?

Trouble is the quality on the subreddit has gone down inverse to this chart.

Do you mean the first to make available to the public? Then that is true.

Google is probably too careful. But it sounds like that might change.

Search is going to ultimately be all about AGI. It is by far the best way to tap into a human for training.

But then Google having over 92% share so nobody else really gets access to the data at the level Google is getting access.

Think Google has been pursuing AGI. I believe that was one of the purposes of search all along.

Google has been answering questions without needing to click for a while now and not hurt their business at all.

The reason that Google has not offered, IMO, is the resources required. Google is literally handling 100s of thousands of queries a second.

There is just no web site that has ever seen the traffic that Google enjoys. The next best is YouTube. But that is a very distant second..

Not sure if that is a good idea. But I guess it is inevitable the bad stuff that is going to be done with this incredible technology.

Google is who invented transformers or the T in GPT. So really be curious to see what they can come up with.

Davina Porter. She is just amazing.

Makes sense. It sure has taken a long time for this type of thing.

I was hired in the late 1980s at Contel/GTE to investigate tools that would generate code. That was almost 40 years ago!

I would agree but a bit later date. More like 2030, IMHO.

I am someone and do not assume that. So not everyone.
