When papers about nuclear topics stopped to be published, Soviet Union understood that USA is close to the creation of nuclear bomb.

Nukes are the only thing I can think to compare it to, even though I know it doesn't make sense.
Nuclear capability for every man, woman and child.

The threat of Mutually Assured Destruction will not hold up on a grand scale.

Its likely DeepMind is ahead with Language models and is simply not saying anything.

Yeah this. It seems unlikely that DeepMind is behind OAI from a science perspective. OAI has done more/better to monetise LLMs but between Sparrow, Chincilla, Gato and Flamingo DeepMind definitely appears to have a good grasp.

As mentioned already, Demis said they would be cutting back on publications, what we are seeing is just that.

So it seems unlikely that Alphabet is not just pouring another $10B into DeepMind as Microsoft did with OpenAI?

Hahaha, just kidding. The people at DeepMind are so much more intelligent than the people at OpenAI, they can run all the new models perfectly inside their heads and don't need massive compute to verify and fix their buggy ideas (or hire a load of paid workers for RLHF).

Huh? Of course Google is pouring money into DeepMind, most likely in similar quantities to MS to OAI.

Where did you derive that statement from?

Google is a publicly traded company with open balance sheets. You don’t have to speculate my man

That’s a good point. There accounts for 2021 are here:

That works out at just under 2 billion USD in 2021. Given their own and the industry trend we can probably assume 2022 is higher and 2023 will be higher still.

OAI gave no timeline over which their 10B injection will be spent over, but presumably more than 1 or 2 years. So these two are definitely in the same league.

Trust me, bro. (Follows a quick answer by AI).

During World War II, the US government formed the Manhattan Project, a top-secret research program dedicated to developing the world's first nuclear weapons. The papers published during this time on nuclear topics were often focused on the technical details of creating and using nuclear fission for military purposes.

One of the most important papers from this period was "The Production of Radioactive Substances by Neutron Bombardment" by Glenn T. Seaborg and Arthur C. Wahl. Published in 1945, this paper described the discovery and isolation of several new elements through neutron bombardment, including plutonium, which would later be used in the construction of the atomic bomb.

Another key paper from this time was "Theoretical Possibility of a Nuclear Bomb" by Edward Teller. This paper explored the feasibility of creating a nuclear bomb and outlined the basic principles behind its design.

Other papers from this period focused on the design and construction of nuclear reactors, such as "The Thermal Neutron in Reactors" by Enrico Fermi and "Nuclear Chain Reaction in Uranium and Thorium" by Eugene Wigner. These papers helped lay the foundation for the development of nuclear power.

However, not all papers from this time were focused solely on technical details. Some also explored the ethical implications of using nuclear weapons in warfare. One such paper was "The Social Responsibilities of the Scientist" by James Franck, which called on scientists to consider the potential consequences of their research and to take an active role in promoting peace.

Overall, the papers published on nuclear topics during the Manhattan Project were instrumental in advancing our understanding of nuclear science and technology, and in shaping the world we live in today.
