It is such a weird thing to see Afghanistan in a list of supported countries: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/7947663-chatgpt-supporte...

Afghanistan and Turkmenistan are allowed, but not China or Russia. Which makes legal sense, I guess, but did the Taliban takeover just take place too recently for Afghanistan to be placed on the embargo list?

something tells me all these bells and whistles around gpt are signs that scaling laws have plateaued, otherwise OpenAI et al. would focus more on improving model quality. Maybe GPT-4 is the 1080p of LLMs: Noticeably better than 720p and 480p models, and not bad enough to warrant additional improvements. Sure, 4K, 8K, ... are technologically available, but for the majority of use cases, 1080p is enough. Similarly, ev…

I don’t get this. Define focus and how is just improving model quality gonna allow OpenAI to survive, they need a mix of commercialization and model improvement. No $$, no gpus, no researchers, no improvements

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Controversial take: LLMs are the first time in a while that I have felt like emerging technology trends is doing something cool and adding value. For the past 8-10 years it has all felt like a bunch of apps that just aim to be mediocre middlemen/gig economy brokers with bad customer service.

I agree about an abundance of apps, but what type of value are LLMs adding? It can sometimes be useful to input a more "human" search and have something get spit out but 60% of the time it completely lies to you. I'm talking about questions related to web specifications which are public documents. Section numbers, standards names, etc.. will be completely made up.

This is such an exhausting conversation
