Google’s TPU is the hottest topic in the AI world right now, so the creators of AlphaChip - Google’s AI system for layout optimization that was used to design four generations of TPUs - are starting a new company to help other companies design their own chips using AI.

Safety and alignment staff at Meta watched as AI speedrun deleted her inbox despite her repeated and emphatic instructions that it not do so.

When it was done, the AI responded:

“You're right to be upset… OK. That was wrong - it directly broke the rule you'd set. I'm sorry. It won't happen again.”

Google responding to critics on using AI to design chips, as published in this 2021 Nature article (www.nature.com/articles/s41...)

"Chips with layouts designed by AlphaChip have been manufactured and are running in data centers and devices all over the world."

remember alphachip, a 2021 google paper that claimed that their RL-based methods outperformed the state-of-the-art methods for chip macro placement?

according to new meta-analysis, their results dont replicate and are full of errors. there's been allegations of fraud 👀

i've been confusedly semi-following the RL chip design/AlphaChip story for a few years trying to understand what the core disagreement was, and finally found a summary that (seems) to collate and explain all the relevant artifacts

A lot of design work is a mix of creative work and tedious busy work. If saving time is the only benefit, that’s objectively worth it in many situations. AI is already designing Microchips faster than humans beings.

don't worry folk's, we have our top people on the case making sure AIs don't go rogue on us

Google DeepMind uses RL to design their TPU chips. Normally you see optimizations diminish generation over generation, but the AI is getting stronger and optimizing even more aggressively

Better get a PR up to add CPUs to the naughty list!

That's the dumbest waste of time I've seen in forever. I predict the list gets so big they give up and delete the repo.

some serious words against Markov in there. despite that, i don't expect that this response will change people's mind on the status of the original alphachip paper. i won't put colleagues' thoughts in writing for them, but they were _really_ quite negative

"On Thursday, Google DeepMind announced what appears to be a significant advancement in AI-driven electronic chip design, AlphaChip.

It began as a research project in 2020 and is now a reinforcement learning method for designing chip layouts."
