Researchers at the University of California and Intel have developed a complex algorithm that leverages AI and some clever routines to extrapolate new frames, with claims of lower input latency than current frame generation methods, all while retaining good image quality. There's no indication that Intel is planning to implement the system for its Arc GPUs just yet but if the work is continued, we'll probably have some Intel-powered frame generation in the near future.
OpenAI Director Adam D’Angelo, Who Helped Oust Sam Altman, Now Key Player in Startup's Future
30.11.2023 - 02:45 / tech.hindustantimes.com
Two days after Sam Altman reached an agreement with OpenAI to return as its chief executive, he spent part of his Thanksgiving with Adam D'Angelo, one of the company's board members who had fired him the week prior. Their hours-long meeting, which Altman called “really nice,” highlights D'Angelo's unique role in a corporate drama that has captivated Silicon Valley — and the importance of their relationship in restoring some stability at the world's best-known artificial intelligence startup. As part of the deal to bring Altman back, the board is set to be completely overhauled, with one exception: D'Angelo will stay on as a director.
D'Angelo's staying power at the company may have surprised some given his part in ousting Altman for not being “consistently candid in his communications with the board.” In an interview during the leadership drama, Vinod Khosla, founder of Khosla Ventures — one of OpenAI's earliest investors — said he believed D'Angelo remained firm on his decision, despite how much the move riled investors and employees. After nearly all of OpenAI's staff threatened to quit, however, D'Angelo became a key figure in negotiations with Altman about his return.
D'Angelo's involvement throughout the OpenAI saga has brought new attention and scrutiny to a longtime Silicon Valley insider. As the co-founder of Quora, a question-and-answer website, and an early Facebook executive, D'Angelo is well-known in the industry. When Kevin Systrom launched Instagram and encountered technical issues, he thought: “Who's, like, the smartest person I know who I can call up?” The answer, as he later told The New York Times, was D'Angelo. But the Quora CEO has also been described as a private, calculated leader by people who've worked with him — and one with some prior history in surprise corporate ousters.His position on the board has also raised eyebrows because Quora has been in increasingly direct competition with OpenAI's best-known service: ChatGPT. From the start, a powerful AI chatbot that can answer questions in seconds risked undercutting at least some of Quora's pitch to users. Shortly after OpenAI launched ChatGPT a year ago, Quora introduced Poe, a platform that allows people to ask questions from various AI chatbots, including ChatGPT. In late October, Poe introduced an option for developers to monetize the custom bots they build using its tools. The next month, OpenAI announced users would be able to build customized versions of ChatGPT – and make money from their creations in a new GPT store.
The situation is unusual, said Kellie McElhaney, who teaches corporate social responsibility at the University of California, Berkeley's Haas School of Business. OpenAI's board was set up as a nonprofit,

A Chatbot from the 1960s has thoroughly beaten OpenAI's GPT-3.5 in a Turing test, because people thought it was just 'too bad' to be an actual AI
A small research group recently examined the performance of 25 AI 'people', using two large language models created by OpenAI, in an online Turing test. None of the AI bots ultimately passed the test, but all the GPT 3.5 ones were so bad that a chatbot from the mid-1960s was nearly twice as successful as passing off as a human. Mostly because real people didn't believe it was really AI.
