If a new OpenAI team passes the bar for the State of AI Report, it's likely over $100 million just in pledged compute. As a reference point, Inflection.AI recently raised $1.3 billion to build a cluster of 22000 H100s, which is over half a billion at current prices.

Very fun to read the linked report! I'd bet, but I'm about even with the current 56%, and don't have enough exp with business money or AI research to make a good guess, anyway.

predicted NO

I’m surprised the market didn’t update significantly from the FTX collapse.

predicted YES

@BionicD0LPH1N What about Google's 300M investment in Anthropic? You don't think it will be counted as alignment org?

@ValeryCherepanov You make a good point.

Betting NO because people have been totally asleep at the wheel on AI risk for so long. I would love to lose my mana here.

I mean Anthropic got 600M this/last year so it's not like this is a massive step up
