Hiring AI Engineers 👨‍💻 

Two years ago, GitHub shook hands with OpenAI and gave developers Copilot, an AI programming assistant built on GPT-3. Ever since it’s helped them write almost half their code and build 55% faster.

Now, Github’s upping its arsenal with Copilot X, a new assistant built on GPT-4 that’s faster and dramatically more precise.

Tech people seem to (mostly) be on board because tools like Copilot and GPT-4 are making them quicker.

But the best part? GPT-4 is more than just an assistant, and non-technical people are using it to make chrome extensions and prototypes with A-tier UI already.

How you can capitalize💸: Have an idea for a software product you’ve been sitting with for a while? This is your chance. If you can’t code it helps to know someone that can, but GPT-4 and other AI helper tools will let you build and iterate faster than you ever might have otherwise anyway.

MARKET INSIGHT

NVIDIA’s Genius Positioning ⛹️‍♀️ 

As more companies strap up for the AI race every day, Nvidia has become the go-to supplier of the GPUs putting them on the tracks.

To keep up with demand, it’s partnering with cloud service providers to offer AI-as-a-service, meaning businesses can access Nvidia's tech from anywhere with just their browsers.

Last week it announced AI Foundations, a project that allows companies to build their own AI models (think custom business chatbots based on GPT-4) using Nvidia’s most powerful cloud computers.

What this means: irrespective of AI adoption going up, down, or in circles, semiconductor companies like Nvidia come out on top. They’re building the field everyone’s playing on.

A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA

Steering Away From AI Dystopia 🪐 

Sam Altman was on the Lex Friedman Podcast yesterday.

In response to computer scientist Eliezer Yudkowsky’s warnings, he admitted there’s a real possibility of AI destroying humans, and that acknowledging so is probably the first step in stopping it.

He also admits OpenAI hasn’t discovered a way to make a super powerful AI aligned with humans just yet, and it may be time for governments to step in to legislate the process.

The big question here: Is AI moving too fast for its own good?
