OPENAI’S CEO SAYS THE AGE OF GIANT AI MODELS IS ALREADY OVER
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says that the research strategy that birthed ChatGPT is played out and that further progress will not come from making models bigger. There are diminishing returns on scaling up model size and physical limits on how many data centers the company can build and maintain. It is unclear what research strategies or techniques OpenAI will use instead for its next-generation models. New model designs, architectures, and further tuning based on human feedback are promising directions that many researchers are already exploring.

Some scientists believe that sex may no longer be the method by which most people will make babies within the next few decades. While life expectancy has increased over the century, the age at which women lose their fertility has stayed the same.

This article takes a deep look at a technology called in-vitro gametogenesis which can create gametes outside of the body using non-reproductive cells.
