OpenAI Soars to $80 Billion Valuation, Riding the ChatGPT Wave
OpenAI's valuation has skyrocketed to over $80 billion in a new deal led by Thrive Capital, up massively from $27 billion just 6 months ago. OpenAI Employees will be able to sell their shares at this lofty valuation which demonstrates investor optimism despite exceeding revenue 60x. There will be some happy sellers in the Bay Area.
Propelled by ChatGPT's runaway success, OpenAI's revenue has jumped from $28 million in 2022 to an annualized $1.3 billion. OpenAI has strong momentum heading into 2023 with the launch of DALL-E 3 in ChatGPT products and an upcoming developers conference, but it must keep innovating to stay ahead of rivals Google and Anthropic. With ample resources from the new deal, OpenAI is poised to continue pushing boundaries in AI safety and capability as it pursues its ambitious vision.

Universal Music, ABKCO, and Concord Publishing have filed a lawsuit against AI startup Anthropic, accusing them of using copyrighted song lyrics without permission to train their chatbot Claude.
The music publishers say Anthropic took "massive amounts" of lyrics from over 500 songs, including hits like "Uptown Funk" and "Halo", to develop Claude's natural language capabilities infringing copyright law. Anthropic, is now facing legal action for allegedly using the song lyrics without authorization from the rights holders.
We have seen this before during the era of Napster and file sharing, just to be solved by Steve Jobs and iTunes. Tech will not stop evolving and we will soon see synergies between AI and labels to evolve the marriage between art and tech.

AI and the age of F*’k Your Privacy.
Clearview AI has built a controversial facial recognition system by scraping billions of photos from the internet without consent.
This massive database lets customers like law enforcement identify people with remarkable accuracy, raising dire privacy concerns about enabling unprecedented surveillance and tracking. Clearview's expanding reach demonstrates the urgent need for regulations and safeguards around facial recognition technology before it irreversibly imperils civil liberties.
Some tips to protect yourselves:
Limit online photos and adjust privacy settings. Opt out of public facial scans.
Use safeguards like hats, masks, and sunglasses. Avoid head-on camera angles.
Turn off facial tagging features in apps when possible.
Advocate for regulations on facial recognition use, especially by the government.
Support privacy-protecting technology like blurred image matching.
Be vigilant about new photographic ID and surveillance methods.
Exercise caution around facial data sharing.
