OPENAI’S BIG SECRET 🤫

There are two secrets to life: 1) Never reveal everything you know. 2) 🤐

What’s new? OpenAI has created a watermarking tool that can detect text produced by ChatGPT with 99% accuracy. However, the company refuses to release it to the public.

Why won’t OpenAI release the tool? Initially designed to help teachers in the classroom, OpenAI is refusing to release the tool after market research. OpenAI found that such a tool could impact its bottom line, as a survey conducted by the company discovered 30% of ChatGPT users would use the tool less frequently if watermarking was implemented.

What’s the significance? Although many have tried, there are no reliable tools for AI detection. This is because the companies who are able to create detection tools are the ones who have created the LLMs. Google is currently beta testing SynthID, a watermarking tool for its Gemini model, but it has not yet proven very successful. OpenAI could revolutionize AI detection if it decided to release this secret watermarking tool, and this could have the power to help control deepfakes and problems in education. But in doing so, they would shoot themselves in the foot when it comes to revenue … only time will tell what matters more.

ELON MUSK REVIVES OPENAI LAWSUIT 👨‍⚖️

Q: Why did the coffee lose the lawsuit?

A: Because it had no legal grounds. ☕️

What’s up? Elon Musk has filed a new lawsuit against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, alleging that he was “manipulated” into co-founding OpenAI.

What’s the new lawsuit? Musk’s new lawsuit alleges that he was manipulated into co-founding OpenAI under false pretenses. Musk claims he was deceived into believing OpenAI would remain a nonprofit, only to later discover Altman, along with others, had created a network of for-profit affiliates, engaging in self-dealing. Additionally, the lawsuit accuses Microsoft of leveraging its investment to entangle OpenAI in its cloud services, further compromising its nonprofit mission. The lawsuit states that by investing over $13 billion in OpenAI, Microsoft “sought to obtain leverage in other ways by, for example, enticing OpenAI Inc. to use and become inextricably dependent on Microsoft’s cloud computing system.” These allegations mirror the previous lawsuit Musk filed against OpenAI and Altman earlier this year, which he later dropped.

What’s the significance? Musk’s first lawsuit was dropped after old emails were leaked between Musk and Altman, showing that while Musk was working at OpenAI, he was avidly pushing for a for-profit approach and a merger with Tesla. Musk believes this new approach will help him overcome previous obstacles and stick it to his former employer and now competitor.

THE “OG” OF STABLE DIFFUSION IS BACK WITH A NEW MODEL 📸

The boys are back in town! 👊

What’s new? Black Forest Labs, renowned for developing the original Stable Diffusion, has unveiled Flux, the largest open-source text-to-image model to date.

What can Flux do? Boasting an impressive 12 billion parameters, Flux promises to deliver visuals that rival those of Midjourney and potentially surpass all other models, whether open or closed-source. Flux comes in three variations:

1. Flux Dev: an open-source model with a non-commercial license for community development.

2. Flux Schnell: a faster, distilled version that operates up to ten times quicker (available under an Apache 2 license).

3. Flux Pro: a closed-source version accessible via an API.
