It took photographers 150 years, from the first photograph taken in 1826 until 1975, to reach the 15 billion mark.
More than 15 billion images have already been created using text-to-image AI tools since 2022.

GPT-4 Is the Dumbest Model You Will Ever Have to Use,' According to Sam Altman 🤯

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman declared that GPT-4 is "by far the dumbest model any of you will ever ever have to use again.”
During a recent talk at Stanford University, Altman outlined his vision for the future of AI:
GPT-5 and beyond will be "a lot smarter" than their predecessors each year
OpenAI is sparing no expense to create advanced AI, even if it costs "50 billion a year." He claims making AGI will make it worth it.
Altman believes that intelligent agents will be the killer application for future AI systems. They will act as "super-competent colleagues" who know everything about a person's life and could be capable of executing specific tasks or proposing solutions to complex problems.
GPT-5 is expected to be released this year, possibly as early as mid-year. Rumors suggest that it will support video generation in addition to text and images. If OpenAI follows the DALL-E approach with its AI video generator, Sora, video generation could be integrated into ChatGPT.

Email Suggests Microsoft's Fear of Google's AI Led to OpenAI Partnership

Newly revealed emails show Microsoft's $1 billion investment in OpenAI in 2019 was fueled by deep concerns that the company was "years behind" Google in advancing AI capabilities. The emails detail discussions between Microsoft's leadership team:
In a June 2019 email, CTO Kevin Scott warned CEO Satya Nadella and co-founder Bill Gates that Microsoft was "multiple years behind the competition in terms of machine learning scale"
“As I dug in to try to understand where all of the capability gaps were between Google and us for model training, I got very, very worried,” Scott wrote.
Nadella forwarded Scott's "thoughts on OpenAI" to CFO Amy Hood, affirming "why I want to do this" investment
The emails were released as part of the ongoing US Justice Department antitrust case against Google.
Microsoft has invested over $13 billion into the partnership, integrating OpenAI's language models across its products. This has helped Microsoft position itself more as a leader in AI, instead of falling behind as it once feared five years ago.
