Indlu enamakamelo ayisishiyagalombili, e-Hillsborough, cishe uhhafu phakathi kwekomkhulu le-Google kanye ne-OpenAI ese-San Francisco, ibizwa nge-AGI House, igxile. kulokho iwebhusayithi yayo ekubiza ngokuthi “inkathi yegolide” ye-AI. Ifaka ichibi le-koi, ichibi, ingadi ye-Zen, indawo yokugcina iwayini elawulwa yisimo sezulu, kanye nomthombo wamanzi wangokwezifiso. Ngokwezilinganiso zikaZillow, irenti ilinganiselwa ku-$45,000 ngenyanga.
Izindlu ezijwayelekile zokugebenga – okuwumkhuba womkhakha wezobuchwepheshe – okubhekiselwa kuzo izindawo eziminyene ezabiwa abasafufusa befuna imibono emikhulu nerenti eshibhile. Kodwa imali namandla agcwala kuleli gagasi le-AI liyanyakaza futhi liqinisa ugibe lwegolide elivamile laseSilicon Valley, manje osekumele liqhume nalo. ukwethulwa kwe-GPT-4. (Zilo ilinganisela inani le-AGI House kuma-dollar ayizigidi eziyi-18 kuphela, ingxenye yesithathu yesicelo sayo intengo.)
Ezinyangeni ezisanda kwedlula, abantu abaningi, iningi labo abancane, bathutheleke endaweni yesehlakalo ye-AI ye-Bay Area ukuze basondele esenzweni sama-hackathons, ukuhlangana, izingxoxo zomlilo kanye namahora ajabulisayo. Begqugquzelwa ukholo, ilukuluku, kanye ne-FOMO, bafuna ukuvikela indawo yabo ekusaseni lezomnotho abaholi bezobuchwepheshe abaphikelela ukuthi lizothuthukiswa yi-AI.
“Basemcimbini wasekhaya, bagcwele yonke indawo,” kusho UGloria Felicia, omunye wabaphumelele i-hackathon e-AGI House. Umsunguli we-Speedify AI kanye nomeluleki wokuqala we-Spero Studios, ukhangise izindawo “e-AGI House yabesifazane,” evula ngenyanga ezayo eHayes Valley, indawo ehamba phambili ehamba phambili edolobheni laseSan Francisco.
U-Amber Yang, umtshali-zimali we-AI neBloomberg Beta, waba negciwane ngoJanuwari ngemuva kwalokho uku-tweet ukuthi amaSan Franciscans manje ayesebiza iHayes Valley “I-Cerebral Valley” ngenxa yokugcwala “kwemiphakathi ye-AI nezindlu zabaduni,” phakathi kwezindawo zokudlela ezithandwayo, izindawo zokudlela, ijimu yangaphandle nezinguqulo zezitini nodaka zemikhiqizo ye-e-commerce efana ne-Allbirds ne-Brooklinen.
Inhlanganisela ye Ukudilizwa kweBig Tech, ukubuya kwangemuva kokuvalwa komgwaqo emicimbini yomuntu siqu kanye nezithiyo eziphansi zokungena kukhuthaze inani lezindlu zeqembu ezintsha. Isithembiso semali elula siyasiza.
Ngenkathi izitoko zobuchwepheshe zintengantenga, abatshalizimali bezimali zebhizinisi sebevele basebenza U-$3.6 billion ekusungulweni kwe-AI engama-269 e-United States kusukela ngoJanuwari kuya maphakathi no-March, ngokusho kwenkampani ehlaziya ukutshalwa kwezimali i-PitchBook, ethole ukuthi cishe ingxenye yezigidigidi ezingama-40.5 zamaRandi oxhaso lokuqala lwe-AI ezweni ngonyaka odlule wawugxile kakhulu. Izinkampani ze-Bay Area.
Njengophawu lwezikhathi, isithabathaba somuzi sase-Hillsborough sisanda kushintsha igama laso sisuka ku-Neogenesis saba yi-AGI House. I-AGI imfushane yokuthi “ubuhlakani obujwayelekile bokwenziwa,” ibinzana eladuma yi-OpenAI ukuchaza umqondo we-AI ohlakaniphe kunomuntu. I-OpenAI ithi amathuluzi afana ne-ChatGPT, angaphendula imibuzo ngokushesha noma khiqiza umbhalo njengekhodi yesofthiwe nezindatshana zasekolishi, noma i ijeneretha yombhalo uye esithombeni DALL-E, ingasabela ekwazisweni komsebenzisi kolimi lwemvelo, njengezitebhisi eziya ku-AI yomuntu ongaphezu komuntu. Igama elithi “AGI” seliphenduke iwashi labasekeli abahlanganyela inkolelo yokuthi leli gagasi lobuchwepheshe le-AI lizoguqula i-inthanethi.
“Kufana nokuthi sekuyi-crypto entsha,” kusho uMoritz Wallawitsch, umsunguli waseJalimane oneminyaka engu-24 ubudala owathuthela e-Bay Area ngoNovemba. Ngokungafani ne-crypto, wengeza ngokushesha, i-AI ikhiqiza inani elikhulu ngoba “yimisebenzi ezenzakalelayo.”
Izindlu zama-Hacker “ziwuphawu lokuthi abantu sebephelele nje ekwakheni inkampani nalapho abantu befana nokuzama ukuzicwilisa futhi bafunde kwabanye,” kusho umtshali-zimali uSarah Guo, umsunguli wefemu yokuqala yebhizinisi i-Conviction, osanda kuhlanganyela. isidlo sakusihlwa e-AGI House.
“Kusobala ukuthi ayisebenzi kubantu kuzo zonke izigaba zokuphila kuzo zonke izindlela zokuphila,” kuqhubeka uGuo. Kodwa ukuhlala ngokubambisana usebenzela izisebenzi zenye yezinkampani zakhe zephothifoliyo, i-Harvey, eyakha amamodeli e-AI ezinkampanini zabameli, ngenxa yokuthi bajabule ngokukhulisa inkampani yabo ngokushesha. “Ayikho enye into abayenzayo njengamanje. Basebenza nje,” kusho yena.
Izindleko zokuqasha igumbi endlini ye-hacker zisebenza njengokuhlala nabantu ohlala nabo. Ukuvulwa kwamagumbi ezindlu zomphakathi e-Bay Area ngo-Ephreli kuqalisa kusuka ku-$650 ngenyanga ngegumbi elihlanganyelwayo kuze kufike ku-$3,000, ngokusho kwedokhumenti ye-Google yezinhlobo ezahlukene zamaqoqo. Ezinye izindlu zinemali eyengeziwe yanyanga zonke yegrosa ehlanganyelwe noma yokuhlanza.
Inqubo yesicelo ayijwayelekile kakhulu. Ezinye izindlu zinamawebhusayithi anezixhumanisi eziya kumafomu e-Google kwabazoba amalungu futhi zicabange lapho usebenza khona kanye nekhono lobuchwepheshe. Abanye bavele bathumele isithombe sokumba ezinkundleni zokuxhumana futhi bakhuthaze abantu abanentshisekelo ukuthi bathumele imiyalezo kuTwitter.
Izindlu zamaqembu ezixuba izinqumo ezihlobene nomsebenzi kanye nokuxhumana kwemisebenzi nempilo yomuntu siqu kungaba nzima kwabesifazane kwezobuchwepheshe futhi zisheshe zibe nobuthi, kusho usozimali uBrianne Kimmel, otshale imali enkampanini elandela iStable Diffusion, imbangi ye-DALL-E yomthombo ovulekile, namanye amathuluzi e-AI. Njengomtshali-zimali wesifazane, uKimmel wanezela, umenywa kuphela emihlanganweni yasekuseni yango-8 ekuseni, hhayi emaphathini.
UFelicia, omunye wabaphumelele i-hackathon, uthe uzama ukuhlakulela i-vibe ehlukile nendlu ye-AGI yabesifazane, eyodwa egxile ekuphepheni, ekufakweni, ekucabangeni nasekuphileni kahle, ngaphandle kotshwala noma izidakamizwa.
Iningi labafake izicelo zendlu kaFelicia ye-AGI yabesifazane bebethanda kakhulu indawo yomphakathi kunokuhlalisana wathi. Babekhathazeke ngempela ngokuvikeleka kanye nokwenzeka kokuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi “ngabasemzini futhi, ngezinye izikhathi, ngezinye izikhathi abanye ochwepheshe bezobuchwepheshe,” echaza. “Abayazi imingcele. Abaziqondi izindlela zokuxhumana nabantu.”
Ukuphila ngokubambisana kube ukhiye ekwakheni indawo ye-AI ye-Bay Area kule minyaka eyishumi edlule. Kuyingxenye yezindaba zomsuka ze-OpenAI ne-Anthropic, iziqalo ezimbili ze-AI ezicebe kakhulu, zombili ezinze e-San Francisco. Ukuxoxisana kulezo zindlu kube yindlela esheshayo yokuzwa ngemisebenzi elebhu yocwaningo ephezulu, ukufinyelela kubatshalizimali abasafufusa, kanye nokuqonda ngobuchwepheshe kubantu ababuthuthukisayo. Phakathi nobhubhane, lawo manethiwekhi ajula.
Ukuheha kwemicimbi e-AGI House kungenzeka ukuhlangana ne-Silicon Valley elite. I-hackathon yangempelasonto ixhaswe ngokwengxenye yi-Hugging Face, inkampani evulekile ye-AI yenani lamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili, ngamazwi okwamukela avela ku-tech lumininary Sebastian Thrun, unkulunkulu ozichaza ngokwakhe wezimoto ezizishayelayo.
Ukuzalwa komuntu okwedlule kwendlu, i-Neogenesis, yaqalwa ngu-OpenAI ka-Andrej Karpathy, owayeyinhloko kaTesla ye-AI, futhi waba eyaziwa ngokwenza amaphathi kanokusho lapho ama-tech titans afana Umsunguli we-Google u-Sergey Brin angase adlule.
I-Karpathy kanye ne-AGI House abazange baphendule izicelo zokuphawula.
U-Wallawitsch, umsunguli wokuqalisa waseJalimane, wafika okokuqala kuleli dolobha nge-visa yabavakashi ngo-2021, elangazelela ukuhlola iSilicon Valley ayeyazi kuphela ngamaphodikasti namabhulogi. Izinyanga ezimbalwa, wayehlala eSan Francisco eyandulela i-Neogenesis, ebizwa ngeGenesis House. Cishe ingxenye yezakhamuzi kwakungabacwaningi be-AI ngaleso sikhathi, okuhlanganisa nabanye abavela ku-OpenAI, futhi i-Wallawitsch yagcina ijoyine iqembu lokufunda ukuze ihambisane namaphepha ocwaningo futhi yafunda mayelana nempumelelo yakamuva ku-AI.
“Uma uhlala nomuntu, usuke usemaphethelweni alokho okwenzekayo,” kusho yena. Ukusebenzisana okujabulisayo, njengokwethulwa ngokuzenzekelayo kubangane abathakazelisayo bomuntu ohlala naye, “akuyona into oyitholayo emcimbini,” kusho u-Wallawitsch, owethula owayesebenza naye endlini komunye wabatshalizimali enkampanini yakhe i-RemNote, uhlelo lokusebenza lokufunda nokuhlela. ulwazi.
UWallawitsch wethule eyakhe indlu yeqembu eSan Francisco’s Panhandle kule nyanga. Abafakizicelo bekungadingeki ukuthi basebenze ku-AI, kodwa wabheka abantu abathanda ukufunda ngomshini nokusebenzisana kwamakhompyutha abantu. Uhlole ukuhlanganisa i-AI ekhiqizayo enkampanini yakhe kodwa wanquma ukuthi yayingafaneleki futhi abatshalizimali abahle bazokwazi kangcono. Abantu abangamashumi amane babuze ngendawo endlini enamagumbi ayisithupha.
Kubantu abasanda kweva eminyakeni engu-20, abangakaze basebenze endaweni engeyona i-covid, ukuqondisa izimpilo zabo kulolu shintsho lwezobuchwepheshe kungakhanga. “Kufana nokuthi, bengingasebenza ngokuzithandela izinsuku eziyisikhombisa ngesonto mathupha futhi ngihlale nalaba bantu,” kusho uYang, umtshali-zimali we-AI owaqhakambisa igama elithi Cerebral Valley.
Abanye abangaphakathi kwezobuchwepheshe bathuka isiteketiso, ebesingakaze sisetshenziswe. Abanye bristled emcabangweni wokuthi iSan Francisco yayiyisikhungo sendawo yonke ye-AI. Kodwa emavikini alandelayo, i-moniker ilokhu ivela.
Kukhona Cerebral Valley AI, umkhankaso wokwakha umphakathi osingatha izikhathi zokusebenza ngokubambisana emahhovisi okuqalisa kanye ne-Google Doc ewusizo yemicimbi engakhangiswa ngaso sonke isikhathi esidlangalaleni. Okuzayo Cerebral Valley AI Summit, umcimbi wokumema kuphela “enhliziyweni ye-AI boom,” uzokwenzeka ekupheleni kwenyanga, isingathwe ngumlobi we-Substack u-Eric Newcomer. Ngokuyingxenye, ithuluzi eliyintandokazi lesixuku sobuchwepheshe lezimemo eziku-inthanethi, ukufakwa kuhlu kwemicimbi ye-AI nakho kuya ngokuya kukhangisa indawo yabo njenge-“Cerebral Valley.”
“Ngineminyaka engu-25 ubudala, ngisesesikweletini sokubolekwa kwabafundi. Ngidinga ukufaneleka ngangokunokwenzeka,” kusho u-Aqeel Ali, owayeyimenenja yokusebenza esiza ukuhlela i-Cerebral Valley AI. U-Ali uthe akazange aphume ekamelweni lakhe amasonto amabili ngemuva kokukhishwa kwe-ChatGPT ngasekupheleni kukaNovemba ngoba kuyacaca ukuthi ubuchwepheshe bungenza umsebenzi “wabasebenzi abayisishiyagalombili abancane.”
Phakathi neminyaka eyishumi, wacabanga ukuthi, lobu buchwepheshe buzokwazi maduze ukuphatha imisebenzi yasemhlabeni emhlabeni wangempela – hhayi nje ukubhala izinhlelo zomcimbi, ukusho, kodwa uku-oda ukudla kwaDoorDash.
Kodwa u-Ali uthi ukwamukela lolu hlobo lwe-AI kuzoholela emisebenzini emisha, hhayi nje ukuthatha emidala. Wakhomba usizo luka-Anthropic abafuna ukufakwa ohlwini a unjiniyela ngokushesha (indima engeyona eyobuchwepheshe yabantu abanekhono lokukhuluma namamodeli e-AI) ekhangise iholo okungenani lama-$250,000.
“Ufuna ukwazi ukuthi kungani leyo misebenzi ikhona,” kusho u-Ali. “Ngifuna nje ukuthola eyodwa engijabule ngayo enginekhono kuyo futhi edingekayo.”
U-Ali, osanda kuqala indlu yakhe yeqembu iHayes Valley ebizwa ngokuthi iLuminance, uthe kube nokuguquguquka kwamasiko selokhu ubhubhane lwabuyela “emphakathini.” Abahleli bomcimbi baze bakhetha ukumelana nenketho yengqungquthela ye-Zoom yezingxoxo. “Sizama ukugcina ukwethembeka okuphezulu, okwenziwa yikhwalithi ephezulu.”
