    just bs. They are trying to come up with an explanation for why altman was fired that is not: we caught him doing lots of illegal stuff.

      I think it’s a hype move at this point. Like the guy who claimed he believed google’s chat bot was sentient.

      I read another article that stated they had a computational breakthrough, in which their program can now carry out basic grade school math. No other model is able to actually carry out math equations, not even basic arithmetic.

      This is a significant development, but it’s not like they’re on the cusp of developing superintelligence now. I bet they are taking this small inch towards superintelligence, and hyping it like they’ve just huddled miles forward.

        The thing is, this could actually be a several miles jump. But where they want to go is not the grocery down the road. They are trying to fly to another galaxy. This is more like hyping up that you are going to land on the moon next year, at a time when you just figured out that rubbing two sticks together it makes a fire. Technically it’s truly a leap, but we are so far away still.

          I completely agree and was trying to convey that. Not trying to downplay the significance of the development, but they are far from superintelligence and they’re going to hype it up as much as they can.

        The worst part about is it that there have been already two winters in AI development, in the early twothousands and sometimes in the 70/80s? I think? because of exactly this: They always hyped up AI and said they’d solve all the world’s problems in a short time, and when that obviously didn’t happen, people got disappointed in it and pulled funding…

        Is that the chatbot that they had to shutdown cause it wandered a little bit to much in 4chan?
