MAIN COURSE

Sam Altman spills the tea 😳 🍿

On Monday, Lex Fridman interviewed Sam Altman. They discussed GPT-5, OpenAI’s drama, Sora, Elon Musk, and more.

GPT-5, you say?

Sam Altman claims the leap from GPT-4 to GPT-5 will be comparable to the improvement from GPT-3 to GPT-4.

Huh, what about OpenAI?

He described his temporary removal as CEO and the dramatic changes to the board as painful. He expressed love for Ilya Sutskever, who was central in the board's decisions, but declined to say if he would have a future role at OpenAI.

I see, what about Elon?

Altman dismissed Elon Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI and suggested that he focus on “building cool shit” and leave OpenAI alone.

What about Sora?

Altman bragged about Sora's ability to understand and generate images and videos. He claims it’s an important step toward AI systems that operate effectively in the physical world.

What else did they discuss?

They talked about Altman’s vision for AGI, AI safety and alignment, and more.

I need more context on this.

In November, we reported on OpenAI firing and rehiring Sam Altman. We gave a detailed report of the key players, how it played out in real-time, and more.

Two weeks ago, we covered Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI. He said OpenAI deviated from its founding principle of developing AI for the public good.

Last week, we reported on Mira Murati’s interview with WSJ about Sora. It generates 20-second, 720p video clips in minutes.

SIDE SALAD

Crush the other team with AI 😏 ⚽️

On Tuesday, Google and Liverpool FC announced TacticAI. It’s an AI system for soccer… er… football.

What is it?

TacticAI is an AI system that analyzes past plays and suggests adjustments to provide expert corner kick strategy insights.

How does it work?

It uses predictive and generative models to forecast ball receivers and potential shot attempts. Its small dataset contains historical game routines and high-quality tactical advice.

Is it any good?

In blind evaluations, Liverpool FC experts preferred TacticAI’s suggestions over traditional setups 90% of the time.

So, what?

Google DeepMind claims TacticAI’s state-of-the-art unique geometric deep learning method could transform sports analytics and extend to other fields like gaming, robotics, traffic management, and more.

Is this the first sports AI model?

Nope. Back in August, we covered Amazon’s football AI. It provides game insights, highlights, and graphics during Thursday Night Football streams.

In September, we reported on Swift. It’s an AI system that beat human champions in first-person view (FPV) drone racing.

In January, we covered Scout Advisor. It’s a player recruitment tool from IBM and Sevilla FC.
