When the innovation curve is pointing just about straight up, we all struggle to keep up with events. Such is the current reality with AI news and change. Below is a ChatGPT o3 analysis of a transcript of a very recent interview between Mathew Berman and Dylan Patel which covers a host of events in-process in the AI world.
One note, Berman and Patel disagree about how well Zuckerberg’s raid on OpenAI’s talent is going, with Patel saying Zuckerberg is having success bringing in notable OpenAi talent to Meta.
That has been confirmed and emphasized in later news; and it’s a big deal because it’s not just numbers of AI Engineers that counts, it’s having the very best AI Engineers that wins the game.
Perhaps also of note, news and rumors continue to paint Apple’s AI efforts as minimally effective and falling (even further) behind. That Apple is an established giant company is said to work against it moving quickly enough to disrupt its current business models and “get with the new thing”. Wouldn’t be the first time legacy tech powers struggled with rapid innovation by startups.
Supposedly the prize is now “SuperSmart AI” (SSI) rather than just AGI, and some say there will only be room at the top for the very first AI innovators who get there; or just a very few companies.
