Can we stop labeling prominent AI researchers as “AI Godfather”? It’s so silly and barely truthful. The concept of AI has been around since Turing and if anyone deserves a title like “Father of AI” it’s him. LeCun is Chief AI Scientist at M

The first use case in the demo is generating a blog post, so I’d assume that they’re trying to win the “cynical marketers wanting to use GPT-3 to churn out keyword nonsense to game Google Search” market. I know of some marketing teams that

I wouldn’t trust the narrator here. As the CEO, Jeremy is incentivized to exaggerate the impact. It’s yet to be seen whether Bitcoin, Ethereum or Doge will be considered securities. Neither Bitcoin or Ethereum seem to pass the Howey test [0
