š Scale AI wants a ChatGPT for your business

Making the world a better place for F1000 corporations.
Now, any business can have their own ChatGPT.
Thatās the goal of Scale AI, anyway. Thatās why they partnered with Accenture.
Two facts.
1. The enterprise opportunity for AI is several trillion mountains of cash.
2. Integrating AI into a company can range from hard to impossible.
Companies want their own special ChatGPT for their product.
Why? Most companies need customer support. ChatGPT excels at talking to people.
More importantly, most companies have a treasure-trove of information thatās hard to sift through. Thatās a speciality of GPT-4.
This is a win-win partnership. Scale AI gets access to Accentureās enterprise customers who spend consulting cash. Accenture gets to brag about their AI prowess and score some more customers.
It may seem boring, but itās where the future is.
Plus, we all know how long it took large companies to adopt the cloud.
š¦ļø Twitterās algorithm, for all to see

Source: Twitter
Elon Musk delivered on a promise. A rare occurrence.
This week, Twitter made their Tweet recommendation algorithm available publicly.
So far, there havenāt been too many huge surprises. Building a large-scale artificial intelligence recommendation algorithm is not easy. Building one at the scale of Twitter is even more difficult.
This goes to show āputting the data through a machine learning thingyā ends up being quite complex.
How a tweet ends up on your timeline ends up being a blend of people you follow, and people you donāt. The latter group could be for virality, or because someone with a similar profile to you liked the tweet. It could also be because a lot of people you follow liked that tweet.
The real machine learning comes in ranking the tweets based on likelihood youāll engage - either by a like, reply, or retweet.
Also, Jack Dorsey, Katy Perry and Barack Obama are the test accounts. For some reason.
Far more boring than many could have guessed. Still, a glimpse into how machine learning works in practice.
š¬ Google will obviously not slow down AI work
This week, 1000s of scientists and tech titans published a letter calling for a 6-month pause on AI development.
Google responded with ānahā.
In an interview with the Hard Fork podcast, Google CEO Sundar Pichai appeared puzzled how this might work.

Heās not wrong. Pichai also emphasized that itās important for the government to step in, but does so effectively.
āAI is too important an area not to regulate. Itās also too important an area not to regulate well.ā
We all know that wonāt happen.
Pichai said what everyone was thinking. Weāre not going to pause AI development in the middle of the biggest revolution since the dawn of the internet.
We agree.
