It sure is, but the theme in the sub-thread was about if OAI in particular can afford to do that (i.e. wait) while there are literally dozens of other companies and open-source projects showing they can solve a lot of the tasks GPT-4 does, for free, so that the OAI value proposition seems weaker and weaker by the month.

Add to that a company environment that seems to be built on money-crazed stock option piling engineers and a CEO that seems to have gotten power-crazed.. I mean they grew far too fast I guess..
