GPT-3 by OpenAI
may upend industries in the
near future. Hey everyone, Alex Moen
here with today's Biz Tech
Tips. And for those of you
that are not familiar, GPT-3,
what it means, it's
a 3rd generation of- it's an
acronym- Generative Pre-training
Transformer by the organization OpenAI.
And if you're not familiar with
OpenAI, they're a combination of
artificial intelligence research and
deployment company and a nonprofit. So,
what they're aiming to do is
to produce what's called
"artificial general intelligence"
that's highly autonomous, so it
doesn't need people to program it.
And they're aiming to have it
outperform humans in many areas. And
also want it to benefit
all of humanity though, not
just, you know, the Googles
and Facebooks if they develop
their own stuff there. 
OpenAI, it's made the headlines,
you probably heard in the past,
like they defeated the world
Champion of Go. Go is actually a
game that was thought by many in
the field that it will never
be able to surpass, because
the number of potential moves is
actually more than the amount of
atoms in the universe. So they
thought it could never calculate it
properly there or that at least
it wouldn't happen for many
years. But it was ahead of
time there. And then, last
year, OpenAI, they received
a supercomputer from Microsoft,
and Microsoft said it was the
fifth fastest supercomputer at the
time. So what are they up to
now? So they've got some mind
boggling stuff, so I'll put a
little video right here. So
what you can see- it's exploding
on Twitter right now- it's
a video showing AI, it's
able to take human language and
then turn that into a design
and then provide the code for
that design. So essentially it's
like understanding what the person
wants and then programs for them
so you can see this happens
incredibly quickly. But what's probably
the craziest thing was, this
was only coded with two
examples. So this was JSX code,
but it could have been done
with anything. And actually,
if you look online, they do
all sorts of things, not
even just programming. But they
use it for data science
examples or some even
"programmed it" quote/unquote to help
out with calculus. So what
it's doing... I mean are
programmers and high level things done
for? I don't know. I'd be
curious to know what your take
is in the comments. But
definitely lots of coding and
programming- there's lots of low level
stuff and lots of repetitive stuff,
and now if you could just
speak it and it generates the
code, I think it's going to
speed things up quite a bit.
I don't think we're quite at
the point of eliminating
programmers or those other high level
positions, but who knows? Who
knows how much longer will take
to develop and take things to
the next level. So let me
know if you have any questions
on. And actually, if you
want to apply to get GPT-3
I'll put a link down
below. Also, right now, it's
only for beta users. So we're
just seeing a few people who
did their own betas and some of
the cool things they have put
together. Again things like data
science, some even put together
their own personal search engine.
It's almost think like you could
program a little mini-Google
yourself without necessarily needing all
that programming knowledge. So,
anyways, that's all I got for
you today. Let me know what
you think and have a good
one.
