LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

OPENAI

The Rundown: OpenAI is reportedly enticing top AI researchers from Google to join them with highly lucrative compensation packages as high as a whopping $10 million per year.The details:

The details:

  • OpenAI's recruiters are focused on luring senior AI talent at Google working on models like Gemini.

  •  The enormous bids are being made just as OpenAI is about to close a significant employee stock offering that may triple its price.

  • New AI chip projects, including Microsoft’s ‘Athena’ and AMD’s MI300X, could provide hardware advantages to OpenAI versus Google's TPUs.

The relevance: Although we frequently emphasize the intensifying competition in the AI race for the leading Language Model Models (LLMs), it's essential to recognize that there is also a fierce battle unfolding to secure the most skilled AI workers. Irrespective of the company in question, these are undoubtedly prosperous times for premier AI researchers.

HOLLYWOOD & AI

The Rundown: The SAG-AFTRA actors strike has finally ended after reaching a tentative deal, following months of negotiations over AI use and streaming residuals.

The details:

  • The 118-day strike was the longest in Hollywood history, halting many productions.

  • A major sticking point was reuse of AI scans to digitally recreate actors without consent or compensation.

  • The studios' previous proposal allowed unlimited scans of veteran actors post-mortem, which the union opposed.

  • The final deal concedes some restrictions and payments around AI model use — and comes on the heels of Hollywood writers securing landmark restrictions on studios' use of AI scripts in September.

Why it matters: Hollywood projects are able to continue while the strike is temporarily lifted. The question of AI's application in the sector is probably far from resolved, though, as its expansion is not expected to slow down anytime soon.

QUICK HITS

A new report shows AI tools like ChatGPT are transforming knowledge work, with low-performing employees seeing the biggest benefit. The key for workers — becoming "cyborgs" and "centaurs," meshing AI into workflows vs handing off tasks.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman tweeted that the upgraded GPT-4 Turbo model is now live, and should be ‘a lot better’ than the previous models. The upgrade comes after a turbulent week of outages and degraded performance after reported DDoS attacks from hacker groups.

AI video platform Runway introduced an impressive update called ‘motion brush’, a new tool coming to its Gen-2 product that allows for more intuitive movement control within outputs
