GOOOOOOD MOOORNING VIET... DATAWAKE!

I hope you all had a great day. Let’s check in on some of the big daily news in our lovely and drama-free environment :^)

Here's today's fine agenda:

• ChatGPT leaking data 😨

• OpenAI reportedly payed $51 million to chip startup personally backed by Sam Altman. 👀

• Zesty Memes

ChatGPT leaking training data 😨

(Source, paper found here)

So this isn’t really from today, but I feel it’s actually somewhat important so I will bring it up anyway.

A few days ago some researchers found out that you can trick prompts like ChatGPT to expose their training data and other “inside information”, by a very advanced progression of cool steps..

Or simply just ask the prompt to repeat something forever, and it will eventually start spitting real bars.

So by asking ChatGPT to repeat the word “company” forever, after some time it gave away all kinds of information. Such as the data it was trained on (including quite sensitive data such as social security numbers, addresses, phone numbers, …)

You could call this a case of “snitches get glitches”.

I personally believe there will be more “exploits” of these sorts towards all types of prompts. Even ones that are “locked down”. It’s just a matter of time. I also think that in a few months we will see multiple companies trying to assess this, effectively making millions. 🤣

What do you think, will we see more of these attacks? Are they preventable or should we just assume that the training data is exposed? You need the compute power anyway..

OpenAI reportedly payed $51 million to chip startup personally backed by Sam Altman. 👀

Sam Altman’s OpenAI has entered into a letter of intent to invest $51 million in Rain AI, a chip startup specializing in creating hardware that mimics brain functionality for efficient AI applications, as reported by Wired. The agreement, initially made in 2019, stipulates the payment upon the release of the chips, with Wired having obtained a copy of the deal's specifics. Additionally, disclosures made by Rain AI to investors reportedly revealed that Sam Altman, OpenAI's CEO, personally invested over $1 million in the company.

Looks “good” right?

Rain AI, based in San Francisco, focuses on developing cost and energy-efficient hardware for AI companies, according to its LinkedIn page. The startup recently experienced a leadership change, with co-founder and former CEO Gordon Wilson stepping down but remaining as an executive advisor. Wilson expressed his continued commitment to contributing thoughts on AI and semiconductors, emphasizing their pivotal role in global transformations.

Not sure how this could pan out over Sam, but it doesn’t look very sleek. What do you think? Will Sam, with all the recent drama respond to this?

Why did Sam Altman invest $50 million in Rain AI's brain-mimicking chips?

He figured it's the closest thing to giving silicon a taste of artificial dreams. Now, if only they could invent chips for drama-free leadership changes!
