I will be the one to say it.

Progress is slowing down. Ever since gpt3, periods of time between releases are getting longer and the improvements are smaller. Your average non-techie investor is on the LLM hype train and is willing to dump a questionable amounts of money on LLM development. Who is going to explain to him/her/them that the LLM hype train is slowly losing steam?

Hopefully, before the LLM hype dies, another [insert here new ANN architecture], will bring better results than LLMs and another hype cycle will begin.

Every time we make a new breathrough, people think that the discovery rate is going to be linear or exponential when the beginning is closer to a logarithmic rate with the tail end resulting in diminishing returns

I found these videos quite hard to watch. There is a level of cringe that I found a bit unpleasant. It’s like some kind of uncanny valley of human interaction that I don’t get on nearly the same level with the text version.

I had the same reaction. While incredibly impressive, it wasn't something I would want to interact with.

Text access rolling out today, apparently:

>GPT-4o’s text and image capabilities are starting to roll out today in ChatGPT. We are making GPT-4o available in the free tier, and to Plus users with up to 5x higher message limits.

Anyone have access yet? Not there for me so far.

If anyone wants to try it for coding, I just added support for GPT4o in Double (https://double.bot)

In my tests:

* I have a private set of coding/reasoning tests and it's been able to ace all of them so far, beating Opus, GPT4-Turbo, and Llama 3 70b. I'll need to find even more challenging tests now...

* It's definitely significantly faster, but we'll see how much of this is due to model improvements vs over provisioned capacity. GPT4-Turbo was also significantly faster at launch.

While I do feel a bit of "what is the point of my premium sub", I'm really excited for these changes.

Considering our brain is a "multi-modal self-reinforcing omnimodel", I think it makes sense for the OpenAI team to work on making more "senses" native to the model. Doing so early will set them up for success when future breakthroughs are made in greater intelligence, self-learning, etc.

While it is probably pretty normal for California, the insincere flattery and patronizing eagerness are definitely grating But then you have to stack that up against the fact that we are examining a technology and nitpicking over its tone of voice .

I found it disturbing that it had any kind of personality. I don't want a machine to pretend to be a person. I guess it makes it more evident with a voice than text.

But yeah, I'm sure all those things would be tunable, and everyone could pick their own style.

That they are offering more features for free concurs with my theory that, just like search, state of the art AI will soon be "free", in exchange for personal information/ads.

Need more data.
