šŸ˜³Early Testers Leak OpenAIā€™s Sora!

A group of early testers leaked OpenAIā€™s Sora to spread awareness about the company using hundreds of artists as ā€œPR Puppetsā€ without pay.

Key Details:
  • In February, OpenAI teased Sora, a text-to-video AI model that converts text prompts into hyperrealistic short films.

  • Angel Investor and All-In Podcast Host David Friedberg explained: ā€œWhatā€™s amazing about Sora is that it renders the rules of physics, motion, and perspective with a reduced amount of compute.ā€ In other words, software is writing itself.

  • On Tuesday, a group of early testers leaked OpenAIā€™s Sora in an upload on Hugging Face, briefly explaining why theyā€™re doing this.

  • ā€œHundreds of artists provide unpaid labor through bug testing, feedback surveys, and experimental work for a company valued at $150 billion.ā€

  • ā€œEvery output needs to be approved by OpenAI before it can be shared. This early access program is less about creative expression and more about PR.ā€

Why Itā€™s Important:
  • The OpenAI phrase for 2024 is ā€œanother day, another OpenAI leak.ā€ However, this leak doesnā€™t seem to be another one of OpenAIā€™s Guerrilla Marketing strategies .

  • OpenAI quickly shut it down within three hours and muted members on the companyā€™s official Discord Server for talking about the ā€œSora Leak Topic.ā€

  • The training datasets include websites, academic papers, Q&A discussion boards, and math workbooks.

  • ā€œOLMo 2ā€ excels at creating different kinds of creative content, like poems, scripts, emails, letters, and code.

Why Itā€™s Important:
  • ā€œBy openly sharing our data, recipes, and findings, we hope toā€ challenge researchers and developers around the world to inspect, modify, and improve ā€œOLMo 2.ā€

  • Open-source AI developments enable researchers and developers to build upon each otherā€™s projects, leading to more rapid progress and fostering technical breakthroughs.

AI MARKET TRENDS

šŸš•Uber Labels High-Quality Datasets for Businesses

Rideshare service Uber launched ā€œScaled Solutions,ā€ a new division that offers Uberā€™s data labeling, testing methods, and localization frameworks to businesses.

Uber is making an effort to offer high-quality data labeling services to Tech Giants to support their AI initiatives, such as robotics and self-driving cars.

The new division aims to improve AI models by improving the data theyā€™re trained on. In other words, better data leads to better AI models.

So, whyā€™s Uber suddenly offering this? Providing high-quality data-labeling services is more lucrative than ever due to the sudden rise of AI applications. Uber is trying to gain a piece of this growing market. For example, Scale AI, which offers similar services, recently raised a $1 billion Series F at a $13.8 billion valuation.
