OpenAI’s Future: Can It Overcome Financial Hurdles?

Technology commentator Edward Zitron said that OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, currently has no viable business model to support the company’s outlook and spends too much money. However, there are quite a few industry executives who do not concur. I for one now find it impossible to imagine OpenAI in its present configuration Zitron proclaimed in the latest Where’s Your Ed At? newsletter. This comes after earlier this year, it was reported that OpenAI may report a net operating loss of up to $5 billion in 2024; which means the company may run out of cash in the next 12 months. Zitron said for OpenAI to ‘survive’ beyond 2026 it would require more equity funding than any start up in history and do so year in and year out. Furthermore, he said that OpenAI needs to solve a grand challenge to cut the cost of developing GPT by at least an order of magnitude. Source: Edward Zitron “Have a technological shift that will ensure the costs of construction and running of GPT or a model that will replace it are easily reduced by a factor of thousands of percentages,” he added.

But according to a survey that was conducted recently, the ladies in crypto earn 13.9% more than men on a median salary basis which has sparked what is referred to as the ‘reversed’ gender wage gap. Full-time working women in the crypto industry in the United States earned a median of $172,000 compared to men, who earned $150,000, a compensation study by Pantera Research Lab showed. “Thus, based on the information obtained, it can be concluded that, for example, the gender wage differentials among crypto employees are quite the opposite to what experts are used to,” Pantera’s researchers Matt Stephenson, Ally Zach, and Nick Zurck noted in their update on July 29. Women at non-crypto companies primarily only make $0. Down to $0.84 for every dollar the men make, the researchers at the venture capital firm specializing in digital assets added. “The wages in crypto are not too low and not too high, which indicates that there is a shift towards better gender equality in this still rather young industry. ” Median base salaries between male and female employees.

Ethereum’s Layer 2 Boom: A Blessing and a Challenge for the Crypto World

  • August 20, 2024
  • Grand News Network

Another significant discussion in crypto in the year 2024 regards the numbers of L2 blockchain solutions developed on the Ethereum protocol. Some of the famous NFT projects like Pudgy Penguins, Bored Ape Yacht Club, and Azuki have already declared their independencies on L2 — let alone a plethora of more conventional businesses like Fox Corporations and even Flipkart. This increase in L2s has been narrowed down as fake since many people consider it as hype. However, that being said, it might not be too far fetched to assume that within the upcoming year we might be struggling with thousands of L2s. This will be good for the ETH of ethereum successing ecosystem. By way of background: Ethereum, or rather the Ethereum network Space, is an L1 blockchain. This is a common issue with Ethereum, where decentralisation and security are important aspects, however, it is not very scalable – which is the well-known blockchain trilemma of wishing for two of decentralisation, security and scalability but cannot get all three. Thus, the Ethereum network becomes less scalable, and executions on it are awfully expensive. Thus, L2s compensated this; they are also referred to as rollup chains or safemasks. Although they mainly process transactions off the Ethereum network at a cheaper cost, by clustering them and then submitting the clusters to the Ethereum network. How layer-2 rollups work. Source: Makeuseof.com However, this model is accompanied by two mainissues. The first one is fragmentation of the Ethereum community. Liquidity of the market is split between L2s and for users this is just frustrating. Users have tokens on individual blockchains and have to transfer them across to other channels and “intermediate.” Moreover, bridges and everything on one network ‘wrapped’ into another have been a critical point of attack in the past few years. The second issue is the variability and uncertainty of these L2s’ transaction costs, which is very bad for the emergence of numerous applications. This is not good for those who need to perform instant transactions sometimes; one day, it can cost one cent to do an operation, and the next day, that price can be ten or a hundred times higher just because some meme coin is trending right now and occupies all the space in the block. This means that the ecosystem has components such as inefficient liquidity, isolated users, weak UX, and susceptibility to exploitation, and a context that is still not favorable for applications to be built to operate financially independently.

Trump Supports Bitcoin at Conference, Pushes for U.S. Strategic Reserve

  • August 20, 2024
  • Grand News Network

Trump Supports Bitcoin at Conference Speaking at the Bitcoin Conference this week, the former US leader attempted to conquer a new constituency that is concerned about bitcoin. Constituent part of this demographic sees bitcoin as means to what they regard as more liberty in Americas and other corners of planet earth. In their view, bitcoin will be an important component in a future period when mining will merge with energy generation revival while there is skyrocketing demand for AI computation. President Trump gave a stump speech, covering many themes his followers would be familiar with. Nevertheless, he also made some clear statements he hoped would help him win those who vote in relation to bitcoins. The first thing he did was prove himself among top experts in bitcoin, economists, technologists and human right activists who were present by admitting that Bitcoin currently ranks 9th globally based on capitalization market and might overtake gold one day. Of course, this was not news to bitcoiners but now this message will be heard by many conservatives who have inherent inclination towards gold and rely on Trump’s gut feeling which is certainly going to make many more conservative minds open to bitcoin and consequently, its usage. Read also: William Wang on “The Future of Jobs: How AI Will Replace Many Jobs” Trump also expressed his gratitude to bitcoiners for understanding the threat of inflation, which he said was a ‘country buster’, that once led the nation of Germany down a very dark path a hundred years ago. He said that contrary to those who think that bitcoin is a menace to the dollar, he thinks that it is Washington D. C. that poses a menace to the dollar system. The most important of all was a statement that any bitcoin that the federal government has will not be sold and will instead be stored as a “reserve. ” While he did not come out and say that the Treasury will begin to buy bitcoin, the establishment of a strategic bitcoin reserve from bitcoin already in the government’s possession is the first step that can lead to a later discussion on how much bitcoin should the government own. (Indeed, U. S. Senator Cynthia Lummis has already, after Trump’s speech, declared her intention to introduce a bill that will compel the U. S. Treasury to purchase one million bitcoins.) This, in essence, translates to the fact that the U. S. may not be too far from leading the next industrial revolution given that a good share of the bitcoin industry is based in the country. Thus, Trump’s statement today in support of individual bitcoin owners’ private property rights means that the slander of bitcoin as belonging to criminals is no longer relevant.

Let me bring you up with the news that OpenAI is running a loss making business and is predicted to lose as much as $5 billion in the next year, 2024, a position that may force OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, out of business in the next twelve months, as analysed by The Information.
