    They shocked the world with GPT 3 and cling to that initial success ever since with increasing recklessness and declining results. It‘s all glue on pizza from here.

      I think the real shocker was the step change between 3 and 4, and the hope that another step change was soon to come. It’s pretty telling that the latest batch of models was fine tuned for vibes and “empathy” rather than raw performance. They’re not getting the next a-ha moment and want to focus their customers on unquantifiables.

      It seems logical that this would negatively impact performance and, well, looks like it did.

        They search for the wow moment to continue striking while the iron is hot, but are stuck. Failing to realise that it’s when companies search for filler features and do shit like “it can talk like a human now and you can customise it” and pander it as a step forward that consumers instinctively distrust the company. If there is no new progress due to data incompleteness or incompetence or whatever, they should be ware to not further monotenize this scientific breakthrough and forever ruin the new programming language that we have discovered.
