ChatGPT no longer requires an account — but there’s a catch
Sunday - April 2 - 2024
Good morning.
OpenAI is making its flagship conversational AI accessible to everyone, even people who haven’t bothered making an account. It won’t be quite the same experience, however — and of course all your chats will still go into their training data unless you opt out.
Starting today in a few markets and gradually rolling out to the rest of the world, visiting chat.openai.com will no longer ask you to log in — though you still can if you want to. Instead, you’ll be dropped right into conversation with ChatGPT, which will use the same model as logged-in users.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has transferred formal control of the eponymously firm’s named corporate venture fund to Ian Hathaway, OpenAI confirmed to TechCrunch.
The OpenAI Startup Fund, launched in 2021, was initially set up with Altman as its named controller.

OpenAI is making its flagship conversational AI accessible to everyone, even people who haven’t bothered making an account.
It won’t be quite the same experience, however — and of course all your chats will still go into their training data unless you opt out.
Starting today in a few markets and gradually rolling out to the rest of the world, visiting chat.openai.com will no longer ask you to log in — though you still can if you want to.
Instead, you’ll be dropped right into conversation with ChatGPT, which will use the same model as logged-in users.
You can chat to your heart’s content, but be aware you’re not getting quite the same set of features that folks with accounts are.
You won’t be able to save or share chats, use custom instructions, or other stuff that generally has to be associated with a persistent account.
That said, you still have the option to opt out of your chats being used for training (which, one suspects, undermines the entire reason the company is doing this in the first place).
Just click the tiny question mark in the lower right-hand side, then click “settings,” and disable the feature there. OpenAI offers this helpful gif:
Sam Altman gives up control of OpenAI Startup Fund, resolving unusual corporate venture structure
Summary:
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has transferred formal control of the eponymously firm’s named corporate venture fund to Ian Hathaway, OpenAI confirmed to TechCrunch.
The OpenAI Startup Fund, launched in 2021, was initially set up with Altman as its named controller.
The arrangement could have presented a major issue to the company if he had not been reinstated as OpenAI’s CEO following his brief ouster in November.
The fund’s initial GP structure was intended as a temporary arrangement, and Altman made no personal investment, nor did he have any financial interest, a spokesperson explained.
Databricks has announced the launch of DBRX, a powerful new open-source large language model that it claims sets a new bar for open models by outperforming established options like GPT-3.5 on industry benchmarks.
The company says the 132 billion parameter DBRX model surpasses popular open-source LLMs like LLaMA 2 70B, Mixtral, and Grok-1 across language understanding, programming, and maths tasks. It even outperforms Anthropic’s closed-source model Claude on certain benchmarks.
DBRX demonstrated state-of-the-art performance among open models on coding tasks, beating out specialised models like CodeLLaMA despite being a general-purpose LLM.
It also matched or exceeded GPT-3.5 across nearly all benchmarks evaluated.
Large Language Models (LLMs) have the potential to improve efficiency and safety in the finance sector by detecting fraud, generating financial insights and automating customer service, according to research by The Alan Turing Institute.
Because LLMs have an ability to analyse large amounts of data quickly and generate coherent text, there is growing understanding of the potential to improve services across a range of sectors including healthcare, law, education and in financial services including banking, insurance and financial planning.
This report, which is the first to explore the adoption of LLMs across the finance ecosystem, shows that people working in this area have already begun to use LLMs to support a variety of internal processes, such as the review of regulations, and are assessing its potential for supporting external activity like the delivery of advisory and trading services.

Stanhope raises £2.3m for AI that teaches machines to ‘make human-like decisions’
Stanhope AI – a company applying decades of neuroscience research to teach machines how to make human-like decisions in the real world – has raised £2.3m in seed funding led by the UCL Technology Fund.
Creator Fund also participated, along with, MMC Ventures, Moonfire Ventures and Rockmount Capital and leading angel investors.
Does technology help or hurt employment?
Ever since the Luddites were destroying machine looms, it has been obvious that new technologies can wipe out jobs. But technical innovations also create new jobs: Consider a computer programmer, or someone installing solar panels on a roof.
Overall, does technology replace more jobs than it creates?
Most work is new work, long-term study of U.S. census data shows
In 1900, Orville and Wilbur Wright listed their occupations as “Merchant, bicycle” on the U.S. census form.
Three years later, they made their famous first airplane flight in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
MIT launches Working Group on Generative AI and the Work of the Future
From students crafting essays and engineers writing code to call center operators responding to customers, generative artificial intelligence tools have prompted a wave of experimentation over the past year.
At MIT, these experiments have raised questions — some new, some ages old — about how these tools can change the way we live and work.
How an iPhone Powered by Google’s Gemini AI Might Work
APPLE AND GOOGLE are reportedly in cahoots to integrate features from Google's Gemini generative AI service into iOS.
Bloomberg broke the news, which was later corroborated by The New York Times. If the deal pans out, it will be a huge collaboration between two tech giants who have long duked it out in the hardware and software space.
