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.

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?

Yeah this. It seems unlikely that DeepMind is behind OAI from a science perspective. OAI has done more/better to monetise LLMs but between Sparrow, Chincilla, Gato and Flamingo DeepMind definitely appears to have a good grasp.

As mentioned already, Demis said they would be cutting back on publications, what we are seeing is just that.

I think it’s interesting but for a hobbyist the pricing is too high. I would say some kind of tiered access would allow you to casually try it before committing.

I would like to try it, and I can afford $75/m, but it’s too much for something casual which I might forget about. Codec and MidJourney I both signed up to straight away.

100%. Also it's a series of books so better than anything on TV.

I’d agree. You can probably even ask ChatGPT to review the follow up someone gives it and assign a score based on that.

Personally if it gives me buggy code I point it out and try to fix for example, that’s clear negative. I also sometimes write thank you to it when I’m happy with its answer.

I think that is a given even assuming AI research hits a wall. Sam Altman openly talked recently of how he hopes a wave of startups will be founded to take advantage of models like ChatGPT, tuning and specialising it for a variety of tasks like proofreading, simple coding and many others.

But then you have to consider where AI was 5 years ago, and how all these tasks seemed completely impossible then.

I expect in the next 20 years the effects of AI on the job market will be greater than those of the Industrial Revolution or the computer.

How can I play against it?

You sir are the problem here. Stirring up witch hunts on someone from a few likes on Twitter is exactly the kind of antagonistic divisive behaviour that causes so much damage to our society.
