What about building systems with GPT4?

Code completion cool called tap9

Train the model against your local code

Goddes called Athena

GPT4 to build a slackbot

Crypto AI companies feel far fetched

GPU clusters at home, training decentralized

Super computer clusters have massively high bandwidth connections between the GPU units

Crypto is orthogonal cultural 

Take GPT4 and cheaply retrain another model, getting tutors to train the model

In OpenAI’s research paper, jobs affected LLMs, blockchain engineers are susceptible

All smart contract code is solidity

Apple is building AI chips already and putting them into the phones 

Chatting with GPT 

What about apple vs openAI?
