NVIDIA couldn’t sell AI chips until OpenAI appeared

NVIDIA head Jensen Huang shared an interesting story that today looks like a fateful moment in the development of modern technologies.

Imagine 2016. This was when artificial intelligence was just a quirky idea for most of the technology world. NVIDIA had created an advanced supercomputer, specifically optimized for artificial intelligence tasks, but faced complete lack of interest. 0 customers, 0 hype, just misunderstanding of this technology’s potential.

At this moment, a small, unknown startup appears on the horizon, showing interest in their development. Huang was excited about the possibility of finally selling at least 1 graphics card. But then he discovered an unexpected twist — the startup was a non-profit organization.

But there was nothing to be done, and Jensen personally took the graphics card and went to deliver it to this not-wealthy client. The name of this startup? OpenAI. The organization that would later create ChatGPT and cause a real revolution in the technology world.

AI chatbots generate content that exacerbates eating disorders

A joint study by Stanford University and the Center for Democracy and Technology showed a disturbing picture. Chatbots with artificial intelligence pose a serious risk to people with eating disorders. Scientists warn that neural networks hand out harmful advice about diets. They suggest ways to hide the disorder and generate "inspiring weight loss content" that worsens the problem.

OpenAGI released the Lux model that overtakes Google and OpenAI

Startup OpenAGI released the Lux model for computer control and claims this is a breakthrough. According to benchmarks, the model overtakes analogues from Google, OpenAI and Anthropic by a whole generation. Moreover, it works faster. About 1 second per step instead of 3 seconds for competitors. And 10 times cheaper in cost per processing 1 token.
