  Welcome back to the Elon Musk Podcast.
• 0:30
  This is a show where we discuss the critical crossroads that
• 0:33
  shape SpaceX, Tesla X, The Boring Company, and Neuralink.
• 0:38
  And I'm your host Will Walden. A powerful new artificial
• 0:42
  intelligence model referred to as GPT 2 chat bot emerged this
• 0:48
  week as a prominent AI benchmarking platform, Lemsis
• 0:51
  Org, capturing the attention of the tech community due to its
• 0:55
  sophisticated capabilities which is comparable to opening eyes
• 0:58
  GPT 4 Now despite its sudden appearance and the lack of
• 1:01
  details about his origins, the model quickly became a focal
• 1:05
  point for discussion and speculation across various
• 1:08
  online forums. Ethan Malik, a professor at the
• 1:12
  Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, expressed his
• 1:15
  impressions on social media, stating no one knows who made it
• 1:18
  or what it is. But I have been playing with it
• 1:21
  a little and it appears to be in the same rough ability level as
• 1:25
  GPT 4. This acknowledgement places GPT
• 1:28
  2 chat bot among the elite ranks of AI models, giving the
• 1:31
  comparison to one of the most advanced systems available.
• 1:35
  However, the intrigue surrounding the model deepened
• 1:37
  when it suddenly became inaccessible, and by Tuesday
• 1:40
  afternoon a notice on the Lim Sys Org website announced that
• 1:43
  the GP2 chat bot was currently unavailable.
• 1:47
  The site's policy page explained that AI models could be
• 1:50
  withdrawn at any time by their providers, especially after
• 1:52
  achieving a certain number of community approvals.
• 1:56
  The disappearance of the GPT 2 chat bot did not quell the
• 2:00
  fervor online. Instead, it amplify the
• 2:02
  curiosity and debates within digital communities.
• 2:05
  Users on X shared remarkable accounts of the chat bot's
• 2:08
  capabilities, including coding a nearly perfect replica of the
• 2:13
  mobile game Flappy Bird, solving A challenging international Math
• 2:17
  Olympiad problem on its first attempt.
• 2:20
  Now, in response to the growing speculation about the chat bot's
• 2:22
  origins, Sam Altman, CEO of Open AI, and other industry
• 2:26
  executives added to the discussions with cryptic tweets,
• 2:29
  which only fueled further debate among people online.
• 2:33
  Many pondered whether giants like Open AI, Google or
• 2:37
  Anthropic were behind this mysterious AI, and the policy of
• 2:41
  Lemsis Org allows for the anonymous testing of AI models
• 2:44
  by their developers prior to a public release, suggesting the
• 2:47
  GPT 2 chatbot could have been a trial run by a major player in
• 2:51
  the AI industry. Now this led to widespread
• 2:54
  belief that the model was a secretive project by a renowned
• 2:58
  developer. LM Sysorg elaborated on this,
• 3:02
  testing possibilities via social media, clarifying their process
• 3:06
  for introducing new models to their platform, they said.
• 3:09
  Just to clarify, following our policy, we've partnered with
• 3:12
  several model developers to bring their new models to our
• 3:15
  platform for community preview testing, they stated, indicating
• 3:19
  that such models are not added to official rankings until
• 3:22
  they're publicly released. And despite the company's
• 3:25
  policies, the sudden vanishing of the GPT 2 chat bot left many
• 3:30
  questions unanswered. Gizmodo reported that their
• 3:33
  preliminary test showed the chat bot's performance was on par
• 3:36
  with other leading AI models like those from Anthropic and
• 3:39
  Open AI capable of executing complex tasks and displaying
• 3:43
  advanced reasoning abilities. And we found that GPT 2 chat bot
• 3:48
  could uniquely solve a logic puzzle that other leading models
• 3:51
  struggled with. This discovery pointed to the
• 3:53
  models distinctive capabilities, suggesting it could handle tasks
• 3:57
  that were previously challenging for similar AI systems.
• 4:01
  Now, the broader AI community is abuzz with anticipation as
• 4:04
  rumors about Open AI's next development, possibly the GPT 5,
• 4:09
  gathered momentum. Such a release would represent a
• 4:12
  major advance in AI technology, according to Altman, who hinted
• 4:16
  that the new model would surpass its predecessor significantly.
• 4:19
  And in the meantime, the speculation surrounding GPT 2
• 4:22
  chat bot continues to drive discussions.
• 4:25
  But the pace of innovation in AI tech.
• 4:27
  With each new model release, expectations are set higher and
• 4:30
  the capabilities of these systems expand further,
• 4:33
  reflecting significant advancements in the field.
• 4:35
  Now, the phenomenon of GPT 2 Chat bot, while fleeting, serves
• 4:39
  as a reminder of the transient nature of some developments in
• 4:42
  the tech world, where new creations can appear and
• 4:45
  disappear just as quickly, leaving a trail of intrigue and
• 4:48
  speculation. In this case also underscores
• 4:50
  the competitive landscape of AI development, where companies may
• 4:54
  deploy and retract experimental models without prior notice,
• 4:58
  contributing to the secretive and highly dynamic environment
• 5:01
  of technological investment. Now, as the community continues
• 5:04
  to discuss and dissect the brief appearance of GPT 2 chatbot, it
• 5:09
  becomes clear that the model has made a lasting impression.
• 5:13
  And despite its temporary availability, its capabilities
• 5:16
  and the mystery of its disappearance continue to
• 5:18
  stimulate expert analysis and amateur theories alike.
• 5:23
  The ongoing debates and investigations may eventually
• 5:25
  uncover more about the origins and intentions behind GPT 2 Chat
• 5:30
  Bot. For now, it remains a symbol of
• 5:32
  the unpredictable and fast evolving realm of artificial
• 5:35
  intelligence, where today's breakthroughs could become
• 5:38
  tomorrow's standard. Now, the story of GPT 2 Chat Bot
• 5:42
  is not just about a single AI model, though, but about the
• 5:45
  broader evolution of this technology, where anonymous
• 5:49
  innovations can stir significant interest in debate, shipping the
• 5:52
  direction of future developments in AI.
• 5:55
  And ultimately, while the GPT 2 Chat Bot has disappeared as
• 5:59
  mysteriously as it appeared, its brief stint on the technological
• 6:03
  stage offers a glimpse into the future of AI, where unexpected
• 6:07
  achievements can emerge suddenly challenging our understandings
• 6:11
  about expectations and artificial intelligence.
