OpenAI is claiming a legitimate breakthrough on a “prominent open question”. I don’t know exactly how to phrase this, but I’m well past the point where i’m interested in arguing whether or not we are on the precipice of some insane stuff. Yes there are still reasonable disputes about exact timelines, foom, economic impacts, diffusion curves, etc. I’m not saying the world is gonna end in 2029. But if you are legitimately arguing anything approximating stochastic parrots, or that this is just a hype train, I’m going to immediately assume you have motivated reasoning or need to think harder.
