🤖 Meta Wants To Catch GPT-4

What's up? You're reading Inclined AI: First of its name, ruler of the AI lands, breaker of run-on sentences, and lord of the seven newsletter kingdoms.

Valar Morghulis, here’s the news:

• Meta tries to build hype after some bad press

• AI chatbots leak into local governments

• AI leaders go back to Washington DC

Meta wants you to know they’re making a model that rivals GPT-4.

This is an odd press strategy for a few reasons.

It admits that their current models aren’t at that level (they aren’t). The announcement comes after every other competitor committed to the same goal (so they’re behind them, too, I guess).

And it comes after a big piece about their inability to keep their AI research teams together.

Did their head of marketing for AI leave, too?

I joke, but you and I both know Meta is playing catch-up. It’s weird to see them admit it. They’re backed into a corner now with only one option: make an LLM that blows the critics away.

If their next AI rivals or surpasses GPT-4, that’s a big deal.

After all, they are committed to staying open-source and making access free to developers and researchers. So, while the press strategy is horrid, you can still buy into some of the hype.

But there’s one more hiccup that Meta snuck in: none of this will be ready until sometime in 2024. By then, other competitors will make leaps and advancements.

Even Apple might release their model before then and blow everyone out of the water.

I swear, it’s like Meta wants us to make fun of them for being slow. Congrats, team. You got your wish?

What happens when the federal government doesn’t react to changes fast enough?

That’s right; the local governments all go crazy and start making up shit up to stay afloat. It’s happened countless times, and AI regulations are no exception. 

Across the United States, state and city governments took matters into their own hands.

The result is a kaleidoscope of laws and guidelines that don’t mesh together. It’s chaos incarnate, and it hinders progress.

For example, there’s no outline for handling civil workers using generative AI for their duties in Kansas. It’s a free-for-all. But in San Jose, municipal workers need to fill out a form anytime they plan on using AI.

It’s madness.

These people handle sensitive information and need to ensure that specific data doesn’t get into the hands of private companies like OpenAI.

In addition to that worry, misinformation is a rampant problem, and using AI to write government press releases amplifies that risk. That’s something education on AI could help solve.

But to get anywhere, we need top-down regulations and guidelines. These local governments can’t afford to wait 20 years to figure it out.
