Sure it doesn't explain that. Would be nice if things were that easy wouldn't it?
Generally if a main roadblock is removed, you can get a little farther down the road.
Frankly, OpenAI seems to be losing its luster, and fast. Plugins were a failure. GPTs are a little better, but I still don't see the product market fit. GPT-4 is still king, but not by that much any more. It's not even clear that they're doing great research, because they don't publish. GPT-5 has to be incredibly good at this point, and I'm not sure that it will be.

But no one cares about 3.5. It’s an order of magnitude worse than 4. An order of magnitude is a lot harder to catch up with.
This isn't true. Lots of people care deeply and use 3.5 levels of performance at some point in their software stack. For lots of applications the speed/quality/price trade offs make a lot of sense. For example if you are doing vanilla question answering over lots of documents then 3.5 or Mixtral are better than GPT4 because the speed is important.

I interact with ChatGPT by voice pretty often, they have the best speech recognition I’ve ever seen. I can switch between languages (English, French, German) mid-sentence, think aloud, stop mid sentence, the correct what I just said, use highly technical terms (even describe code), I don’t even double check anymore because it’s almost always transcribed correctly. They can ~easily evolve the product to a more general…
Do you use the voice chat in the ChatGPT app? In my experience, stopping to talk even for a moment already makes it submit. This makes a real conversation with pauses for thought difficult, because of the need to hurry before it cuts off.

FWIW if you hold down the big white button it won't submit until you release it. I had no idea this was a thing until seeing someone tweet about it.

For me, voice is just a different UX for the same underlying model of chat. I'm sure it's good, but I'm not going to sit at my computer talking to it, and in fact I think talking may be a worse signal to noise ratio than typing, as I can easily use shortcuts with written text.
You can easily talk while you’re doing something else.

This. Whisper is phenomenal. Have you tried the conversational mode? I would love to be able to use that in a more customized agent. I know you can use the conversation mode with a custom GPT but I’d prefer to write dynamic prompts programmatically. Would be great for a generalized personal assistant that can take notes, send/read email, texts, etc. could be a good filter on social notifications? Though the TTS side…

New theory: Karpathy was short on money, so he waited exactly 1 year to vest 25% of his options.
Short on money after being an exec at tesla during a huge rise in its stocks? More likely he has too much money and maybe doesn't really want or need to work and is doing passion projects instead

Wow - that earnestly gave me goosebumps. I'm a Googler myself and it's humbling seeing him casually describe, 10 years ago, a technology the industry was still in the early stages of developing, which has since taken the world by storm. What a rockstar.
