Microsoft is handling the AI revolution extremely well. They see the potential brand damage that comes with a such a product, so they probably just hold less than 50% of the company, to be able to say "this is not us". Which then allows openAI to experiment and wow people, while google is anxious about showing 10% of its crazy AI capabilities to avoid potential PR disasters.

What are you talking about? All you have to do is make an A.I. robot dance and crack wise, and your golden. At least that's what the game Borderlands taught me.

I was 100% sure you were talking about Boston Dynamics before that last sentence.

Isn't this a wild cap? I'm not an expert but I am aware of private deals that are less than 10x for similar structures.

If they reach AGI, or more simply replace a chunk of workers with AIs, this isn't far fetched to reach these numbers.

If they reach AGI, the AGI isn't necessarily going to be happy to work for free.

> We’ve also worked together to build OpenAI’s technology into apps like GitHub Copilot and Microsoft Designer. Good. I get better results from chatGpt than from Copilot. For example, often Copilot would invoke a bash command for copying a file in my python script, instead of using pythons buildin shutil.

Copilot may be one of the most valuable early use cases for chat AI. I've been brushing off AI as overhyped, but this is very compelling. I believe the real crux of software engineering is thinking about the problem and organizing solutions today which can be changed/improved/iterated in the future. Programmers too often overweight the time it takes to type things (using short variable & function names or creating te…

Agree. At least it could help me read the library code and automate some tasks for me, like how to get some things from base class from library .

> Azure’s unique architecture design has been crucial in delivering best-in-class performance and scale Is there something unique about Azure, which makes it well suited for AI?

It will quickly chain you to Microsoft products, that's the uniqueness.

2023 is the year of Bing, calling it now.

I have the feeling Bing is on the way to overtake Google even without OpenAI, recently google results seem to struggle more and more. Whenever I am trying to remember a word, if I type something similliar sounding google will give me no results at all. Bing (I use DDG which serves Bing results) will most of the time figure out what I was trying to find.

I somewhat recall their CEO saying something like "my job is to get YouTube views" in an interview.

edit: To clarify, I think he was only half-serious.

In theory, Google has an even better spin-off for AI (Deepmind).

I think slowly Google is becoming more and more like IBM, a slow-moving giant that doesn't like risks.
