10 months agoEspecially if Altman, with literally zero dev experience, manages to somehow replicate half of GPT’s algorithms somehow, with his… what… 3 devs now?
much of AI research is back-of-a-napkin ideas tested on room-sized computers. I wouldn’t discount those few engineers joining MSFT: they’ll have at least a general knowledge of the best techniques, and now even more even more compute to test them on. Also, Sama is a talent magnet and I have no doubts they’ll build a team on par with OpenAIs.
