OpenAI is actively exploring the persuasive capabilities of its AI models, using the r/ChangeMyView subreddit as a testing ground. The company collects user posts and asks its AI to generate replies aimed at changing the poster's original viewpoint. These responses are then evaluated by human testers, with the results being compared to human replies for the same posts. Although OpenAI has a content-licensing deal with Reddit, it claims that this specific evaluation is separate. However, the test highlights the importance of human data in AI model development, as well as the complex ways in which tech companies obtain datasets.
OpenAI has also announced a significant partnership with U.S. National Laboratories, granting them access to its latest AI models for use in scientific research and nuclear weapons security. This collaboration will involve up to 15,000 scientists across the labs and will include deploying an OpenAI model on the Venado supercomputer at Los Alamos National Laboratory, in conjunction with Microsoft. Furthermore, OpenAI is reportedly seeking a substantial $40 billion in new funding, which could value the company at $300 billion. SoftBank is expected to lead this funding round with investments between $15 and $25 billion. This new funding would support OpenAI’s ongoing research and infrastructure projects such as the Stargate AI venture.
