Li Yanhong: "Wen Xinyiyan is two months behind ChatGPT" is a bit out of context
On May 4th, Baidu founder, chairman and CEO Robin Li pointed out in a speech at the internal "New Mission Sixth Anniversary and Baidu Pride Awards Ceremony", "This technological race has just begun. The real AI era, New applications will be developed based on large models, just like the emergence of various Android and iOS-based applications more than ten years ago.” Robin Li also responded to the statement that there was a two-month gap with ChatGPT: “I was interviewed some time ago. The time gap between us and ChatGPT is about two months, but that’s a bit out of context to be honest.”
Li Yanhong said: "I said immediately afterwards that this is not the point, the point is how long it will take us to catch up with the gap between these two months, maybe soon, maybe never." Li Yanhong also said, "I think It has been said from the media that Baidu does not understand business negotiations and missed the opportunity to make ChatGPT first, but it is not true, Google paid more than 40 million US dollars more than we did at the time, didn’t it also not make it?” (Financial Associated Press)

OpenAI doubles its losses
The Information quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that OpenAI doubled its losses to $540 million last year due to the development of ChatGPT and the poaching of key employees from Google. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said privately that the company needs to raise hundreds of billions of dollars in the next few years to develop AGI advanced enough to improve its own capabilities. OpenAI may become the most capital-intensive startup in Silicon Valley history. OpenAI's revenue has increased this year, reaching hundreds of millions of dollars after launching a paid chatbot in February this year. However, as more and more users use it, the training cost of higher versions of GPT will continue to rise.
Microsoft Opens Bing Chat Access
Microsoft opens Bing Chat access, users no longer have to wait. All users need is to log in to the Bing or Edge browser with their Microsoft account. This function is currently not available to users in mainland China. Microsoft is also updating Bing Chat and will add support for plugins. Microsoft began offering a private preview of Bing Chat in early February and gradually expanded it. The latest preview release is based on the GPT-4 model.

"I think it's a last resort, so mass layoffs are not something we're talking about right now," Cook said. Still, Apple is cutting costs and slowing down its hiring. "We're still very cautious in terms of hiring," Cook said. "We're still hiring, just at a slower rate than before. We're doing all the right things, challenging our spending, and we're just finding more ways to Save money.” (Sina Finance)
Google slashes costs, but CEO still raises salary, triggering strong dissatisfaction among employees
Google CEO Sundar Pichai reportedly received a big raise last year, making him one of the highest-paid CEOs in the United States. Last week, Alphabet, Google's parent company, announced it was authorized to advance a $70 billion stock repurchase program. But at the same time, Alphabet has been aggressively cutting costs, including cutting 12,000 jobs, in response to slowing revenue growth. This series of measures has caused dissatisfaction among Google employees. In the weeks since Pichai's annual salary was announced, there has been a lot of discussion on Google's internal platforms, pointing to Pichai's acceptance of a raise even as the company slashed costs. Some employees also criticized the share buyback, which is about the size of 2022.
Samsung may face first-ever strike as wage hikes fall short of union demands
Samsung Electronics is facing its first-ever union strike. Samsung Electronics' national union, which represents 9 percent of the company's workforce, has threatened to strike in protest over wages and the company's alleged attempts to thwart the union. The union had previously demanded more than 6 percent pay rises this year, but Samsung only agreed to a 4.1 percent raise for top performers and 2 percent for average workers. The union said: "We will consult with more than 10,000 members to decide whether to go on strike. This depends on the attitude of the chairman Lee Jae-yong. We sincerely ask him to sit at the negotiating table." (Sina Technology)
Fake ChatGPT malware surges, multiple links blocked
U.S. local time on Wednesday, social media giant Meta issued a warning that malware attackers are increasingly inclined to spread software to multiple platforms, which may make it harder for individual technology companies to detect their malicious activities. However, the company said it believed the shift in strategy was just a sign that the industry's efforts to combat malware attacks were working, promising that it was providing business users with more resources and protections, with the goal of further raising the bar for attackers to launch attacks.

Mozilla.social Closed Beta
Mozilla announced late last year that it would be testing a publicly accessible Fediverse instance on Mozilla.Social next year. The core open standard of decentralized social services is ActivityPub. ActivityPub is a W3C standard that allows everyone to participate in a federated universe where users can set up their own domain names, create their own policies and community rules, determine their own privacy settings, and use their own accounts to interact with others. Microblogging service Mastodon is currently the most well-known ActivityPub project. Now, Mozilla is announcing that its instance, Mozilla.Social, has begun closed beta testing. Mozilla said that Mozilla.Social's content policy is different from other social platforms and does not claim to be a neutral platform. It believes that neutrality often serves as an excuse to allow malicious and harassing behavior. Mozilla.Social's content policy is based on the goals and values of the Mozilla Manifesto. People who don't like these rules are free to join other platforms. (Solidot)
