Not just showmanship, utility. ChatGPT has utility since “the common person” actually has access.

Deepmind loves doing research and getting accolades from a fawning press while never allowing commoners to access their dear technology for fear that the rabble could somehow misuse it.

Google, you lost your way.

Exactly, they are too afraid of reputation risks.

They sit on their golden goose and don’t want anything to happen to it.

When people understand how much they know about each one of us (with AI) they will be regulated.

This is absolutely correct

[victor106]

Exactly this.

Makes us wonder where Google would be if Larry and Sergie didn’t open it up to the public and we just kept hearing through the press that “there is this amazing search engine that works better than every other search engine”.

After the past decade of every damn startup “guru” advising to “just ship it”, Google just couldn’t follow that advice.

Ultimately it doesn’t matter how good chatgpt or Google’s AI is, all that matters is who shipped it first and how they incorporating feedback in to the model.

I just looked it up and it sounds like there is no point in a person wanting to play chess against AlphaZero right now because other engines have surpassed it. I don't know that much about chess though.

Here is for AlphaFold. I mean what you are going to do with this? It looks cool but I don't have the background to even contemplate doing anything with this information: https://alphafold.ebi.ac.uk/entry/L8XZM1

What is most interesting to me is the sociology of people completely writing off the monstrosity of resources and brain power that is Google. Speaking as if they are stubbornly committed to some outdated technology as opposed to the organization that published Transformer: A Novel Neural Network Architecture for Language Understanding.

True ! Does anyone know if Blizzard got access or usage from AlphaStar afterwards?

For example to improve the current a.i/bot in the game ?

[timgo]

It's open source.

Same with AlphaFold.

Now people here complain that they don't sell APIs to proprietary models like OpenAI. They are a research lab after all.

[narrator]

They don't provide the trained model do they? That would take millions of dollars of GPU time to train. This safely keeps it out of the hands of the rabble.

[timgo]

Yes, but that wouldn't stop Blizzard if they wanted to use it.

But what would anyone do with a bot that beats almost all human players in Starcraft? Its was mainly a demo to show how far they can take their reinforcement learning algorithms after AlphaGo.

AlphaFold has much greater utility and its trained model parameters can be downloaded.

OpenAI five is gone as well, up until ChatGPT there were no difference how they operated these things.
