Intel bets big against ChatGPT's OpenAI, invests heavily in Stability AI, makers of Stable Diffusion

Didn't OpenAI start getting massive investments from Microsoft and then became ClosedAI?

Edit: Not that I necessarily think this will happen here. If anything, Stable Diffusion might run much better on ARC cards (or whatever their Neural Processing Unit becomes) and give a viable alternative to Nvidia

In the AI race, so far I'm hoping, assuming what they say about them is true, that Anthropic's Claude wins. I've read that the founders were former OpenAI employees who were concerned about macrohard funding and that AI should value safety first and foremost. That line of thinking is something you never see anymore when large companies try to financially back new tech.

Probably the biggest downside is that the article I found talking about them is that they mention getting funding from gøøgl€, which is always a little worrying.
