Hey Everyone,
I hope you appreciate links and reading about A.I. as much as I do! 🚀
This post is a quick link tool to completely get up to date on what occured in A.I. during the last week to ten days. Week of October 2nd, 2023. Today's issue might be pretty long, since it's accounting for more days than usual of A.I. News.
More startups and more partner announcements. Nothing huge occurred although a steady stream of startups received funding yet again.
Anthropic is likely to get more funding from Google, which means it’s officially the most speculative AI startup in the world. Its valuation would put it at 200x forward revenue.
The way the “magnificent 7” (BigTech) are investing in A.I. startups, is likely causing a significant market bubble around A.I. The magnificent seven is a turn used for how unbalanced the stock market has become around a few BigTech names.
ChatGPT maker OpenAI is generating revenue at a pace of $1.3 billion a year (paywalled), CEO Sam Altman told staff this week, according to several people with knowledge of the matter.
