AI developers are not under all-out pressure to pay yet. Some companies with large volumes of academic text or casual conversations say they have no plans to start charging for their APIs or similar data portals. PLOS, a publisher of scientific research whose content has been leveraged in AI training, is “not likely” to change its fairly unrestrictive terms of use, spokesperson David Knutson says. Online community platform Discord has no plans to modify its API offerings, which are free and provided under terms that forbid AI training, says spokesperson Swaleha Carlson.

At Stack Overflow, charging for its API is just one part of a broader AI strategy that the company expects to unveil in a few months. About 10 percent of Stack Overflow's nearly 600 staff are focused on the initiative, which includes developing its own generative AI services. For example, an assistant function could help guide people as they compose questions to post.

In A.I. Race, Microsoft and Google Choose Speed Over Caution! | Tony's Thoughts
The New York Times has a featured article this morning examining the race among big tech companies to develop artificial intelligence applications regardless of whether or not they generate misinformation and dangerous content. Here is an excerpt.

Meta, Google, and OpenAI—maker of ChatGPT—all have developed AI systems using data sets that culled content from thousands of online sources, including Stack Overflow and Reddit, according to outside analyses and their own disclosures. Feeding text from online banter or expert discussions about programming into machine learning algorithms known as large language models, or LLMs, can help AI text generators or chatbots be more fluent and knowledgeable. Using LLMs to generate programming code is viewed as one of the technology's biggest opportunities,

Large language models can generate strings of text based on word patterns learned from the web pages, books, and other bodies of text in their training data. Besides ChatGPT, the programs make up the guts of search chatbots such as Microsoft Bing chat and Google’s Bard, and they underlie a growing number of applications that produce professional and creative copy in a flash. Their counterparts that generate AI-composed illustrations and videos draw on patterns from image datasets such as photos gathered from Pinterest and Flickr.

Mark Zuckerberg reportedly wants to follow in Elon Musk and Tim Cook's footsteps, and sell products in China — but his past criticisms of China could haunt him

  • Meta is in talks with Chinese tech company Tencent to bring its VR headsets to the country, WSJ reported.
  • But CEO Mark Zuckerberg's past criticisms of China's policies may pose a challenge to his plans.
  • Zuckerberg has previously slammed China for restricting free speech and stealing intellectual property.

Mark Zuckerberg will likely not be getting a royal welcome in China — like the one Elon Musk got in May — anytime soon.

Meta is reportedly in talks with Chinese tech giant Tencent Holdings to bring its Quest virtual-reality headsets to the country, The Wall Street Journal first reported. The company has been trying to break into China since 2021, when Zuckerberg questioned why Apple and Tesla are allowed to sell their products in the country, but Meta is not, according to the Journal.

A New Generation of Chatbots

Card 1 of 5
A brave new world. A new crop of chatbots powered by artificial intelligence has ignited a scramble to determine whether the technology could upend the economics of the internet, turning today’s powerhouses into has-beens and creating the industry’s next giants. Here are the bots to know:

Reddit’s conversation forums have become valuable commodities as large language models, or L.L.M.s, have become an essential part of creating new A.I. technology.

L.L.M.s are essentially sophisticated algorithms developed by companies like Google and OpenAI, which is a close partner of Microsoft. To the algorithms, the Reddit conversations are data, and they are among the vast pool of material being fed into the L.L.M.s. to develop them.

The underlying algorithm that helped to build Bard, Google’s conversational A.I. service, is partly trained on Reddit data. OpenAI’s Chat GPT cites Reddit data as one of the sources of information it has been trained on.
