Kinda makes you wonder if the OpenAI team is rapidly dealing with memory leaks caused by maliciously formed prompts to ChatGPT right now. Or maybe they wrote it in a memory-safe language?

I doubt it, the GCs would give it a stutter.

If you are doing it right, on multi-threaded computers, modern GCs will usually not result in freezes or stutter. Usually, even on older GCs, only a Full Mark and Sweep GC will cause a pause in operation. If you are seeing a lot of Full GCs usually that means that you aren't managing memory properly or have un-closed resources building up.

That was (mostly) a joke :-)
