But Lucy Guo, the 29-year-old cofounder of data labeling startup Scale AI blurs the line between the two archetypes. Yet this is the persona many have come to know since Guo left Scale AI in 2018. But, midway through the program, they pivoted again, this time to what would eventually become Scale AI. Lucy GuoThe idea of Scale AI came from a suggestion by one of their YC roommates, who proposed creating an "API for humans."

☆ I'm a 16-Year-Old Founder Who Raised $450K for My AI Startup
  + stars: | 2023-10-09 | by ( Ashley Couto | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Pranjali Awasthi, 16, came up with her startup while interning in university research labs. Because of the pandemic, my high school had gone virtual, so I was able to intern for about 20 hours a week. In 2020, OpenAI released its ChatGPT-3 beta, and I knew we could use it to make extracting and summarizing research data easier. My parents told me I should take the opportunity – the network alone would be worth it, so I took an absence from high school. I wanted to get a GED, but we compromised on me finishing my high school credits online, which I completed in June 2023.

Their experience, which culminates in a demonstration day, is supposed to be the most productive three months of the fellows’ lives. And this year at the Archbishop’s Mansion in San Francisco, the home of the fellows, almost everyone has been monastically focused on what has become the city’s newest religion: artificial intelligence. gospel had not yet spread in 2021, when Fontenot and his two co-founders, Emily Liu and Evan Stites-Clayton, started the accelerator. But at the mansion in San Francisco, eight of the 10 companies in HF0’s first batch this year were working on A.I.-based apps. “But there’s a threshold where they become dramatically more useful, and I think now it’s crossed that.”

A wave of generative AI founders have reportedly found a venue in HF0 to develop their ideas. The New York Times reports the effort is a communal hub for founders and ex-Big Tech engineers. In an alcohol-free, work-hard, play-hard hotel environment, developers can revel and dine together while building their businesses, The New York Times reports. It's been steadily attracting developers with a knack for AI, according to The Times' feature, though it's open to aspiring tech founders in general. Read the full story at The New York Times.

☆ The ChatGPT and generative AI 'gold rush' has founders flocking to San Francisco's 'Cerebral Valley'
  + stars: | 2023-01-31 | by ( Thomas Maxwell | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
Because of pandemic-era closings, San Francisco became somewhat of a ghost town for two years. Now, a race to succeed in the fledgling space of generative AI has founders flocking back. Generative AI takes training data — for instance, a vast corpus of written text — and teaches itself how to produce completely new, unique works. After giving New York a try for several weeks, the generative AI boom picked up. Thomas Maxwell/InsiderPerez said that the sense of urgency to get working on building better AI models comes from how generative AI improves with more data.
