Deep dives
Cybertruck Reveal and Innovations
The Cybertruck reveal received a mixed reaction from the public. While the prices and range initially hinted at being better, the final pricing makes sense and the features are remarkable. The computational steering technology and 48-volt architecture are examples of innovations that set the Cybertruck apart. Tesla positions itself in the market compared to competitors, ensuring a profitable platform for research and development of future vehicles.
The Importance of Prompt Engineering in Language Models
Prompt engineering has been shown to significantly improve the performance of large language models. By asking questions in specific ways and providing step-by-step instructions, better answers can be obtained. GPT-4, with good prompt engineering, outperformed specialized models in various domains such as medical questions and biological topics. While the exact reasons behind these improvements are not fully understood, prompt engineering provides an avenue for more effective utilization of language models.
The Role of Prediction Markets
Prediction markets offer measurable benchmarks for evaluating the likelihood of events. They provide an objective measure that goes beyond individual biases. In the context of artificial general intelligence (AGI), forecasters suggest AGI could be as close as eight years away, indicating a significant reduction in previous estimates. However, prediction markets have limitations and require clear criteria to avoid potential misinterpretations.
Hot Takes: Time Person of the Year and Ilya's Future at OpenAI
According to Polymarket, the two leading candidates for Time Person of the Year 2023 are Sam Altman and Taylor Swift. While Sam Altman's remarkable comeback and his role at OpenAI make him a strong contender, Taylor Swift's impactful year, including a billion-dollar tour, may also position her well. As for Ilya, the chief technology officer at OpenAI, opinions differ regarding whether he will still be with the company on January 1st. His perceived breach of trust and potential poaching by other organizations are factors that might lead to his departure.
Should you say please to your artificial intelligence companion? This week, Autonomous Technology and Robotics Director of Research Sam Korus and Associate Portfolio Manager Nick Grous are joined by Brett Winton, ARK's Chief Futurist. Together they discuss Cybertruck and AI model manners.
If you know ARK, then you probably know about our long-term research projections, like estimating where we will be 5-10 years from now! But just because we are long-term investors, doesn’t mean we don’t have strong views and opinions on breaking news. In fact, we discuss and debate this every day. So now we’re sharing some of these internal discussions with you in our new video series, “The Brainstorm”, a co-production from ARK and Public.com. Tune in every week as we react to the latest in innovation. Here and there we’ll be joined by special guests, but ultimately this is our chance to join the conversation and share ARK’s quick takes on what’s going on in tech today.
