Sadly this place is full of noise and people who don’t get the big picture - leading to the down voting of posts and continual drowning out of stuff closer to the truth by noise and hysteria.
I know most of you here dont quite have the imagination to see it. But feel free to screenshot my post and lets talk in a year ;)
Do you people actually 'think' before posting, or, have you handed that off to LLMs entirely?
Nonsensical terms like the thing is 'thinking'? Seriously. Cut the crap.
Does the computer 'memory' behave identically like human memory? Of course not. Does it look like the 'memory' of a human? Again, of course not.
Why do you think the vast majority of people fail to see it like this? Guys like Musk obvious hype it up as he now has tied the valuation of the firms he owns and operates to this story.
Given that pricing is the name of the game, all should be wary of what interests founders and their employees who are paid via stock based compensation...
There was a point where Google's existence was questioned, but they've been working away quietly and they'll win the long game. Altman viewed OAI as a way to reduce Google's AI dominance - I think when we look back in history it'll turn out he made it worse. Google wasn't all that interested in releasing LLMs out into the wild.
The money they have available is what is on the balance sheet, which they are burning right-through whilst facing immense competition and never-ending reinvestment, given that Google will carry on doing so. Cash flows from operations is a big fat negative.
I see Google first killing OAI, then eventually doing the same to Anthropic, once they figure out a suite of products that truly revolutionises the work of a sofware engineer beyond just talking to a chat interface, and bundle it into their existing offerings for enterprise.
Each day that goes by Im more convinced OAI will not be a healthy going-concern without government help, which most likely will not be granted.

That may be the one and only time he had some Steve Jobs spirit in him.
"They don't want to see what their friends post — they want to be entertained."
I know hindsight is 20-20, but, given how much data Mark et al had at their disposal by 2021, its crazy to me they didnt realise people much prefer being entertained that that keeps them consuming content longer - than just simply observing whats going on with the people they know.
