Were they wrong? It's pretty undeniable that every model release since GPT-4 has been less impactful than the last.

im pretty sure that when the top companies are poaching leaders in AI for some of the largest payouts in history… we are not in an AI winter. so they were completely wrong. im guessing you are one of them.

Zuck has spent more on Metaverse than AI. A multi-trillion dollar company throwing a few billion at a problem means nothing. Show me the results, not the hype.

the idea of mark zuckerberg being at the helm of digital super-intelligence sickens me.

He spent $50B to be at the helm of the "Metaverse". Don't worry, we are safe.

So much wasted money it makes me sick… There are so much money needed to solve another problems, especially for health. I don’t blame the new comers, but Zuckerberg.

Superintelligence or even just AGI short circuits all our problems.

Just another tool that can be used for good or bad.

• Trapit Bansal: pioneered RL on chain of thought and co-creator of o-series models at OpenAl. • Shuchao Bi: co-creator of GPT-4o voice mode and o4-mini. Previously led multimodal post-training at OpenAl. • Huiwen Chang: co-creator of GPT-4o's image generation, and previously invented MaskIT and Muse text-to-image architectures at Google Research. • Ji Lin: helped build o3/o4-mini, GPT-4o, GPT-4.1, GPT-4.5, 4o-imageg…

Anybody have an idea of how much these people are making?

Altman said on a recent podcast that Zuckerberg is poaching OpenAI researchers, giving offers of up to $100,000,000 (one hundred million).

Bubbles are always the craziest right before they pop

Dot-com bubble: popped, and if you don't have a .com presence you have a .net, .org, or similar Blockchain bubble: popped? Looking good, always profitable to bet on crime and stupidity. Real estate bubble? Popped, but what do think about the asset price of housing now?

Moore's Law wasn't a law, it was a reflection of investment which reach dizzying heights in its heyday. I think there's a ton of over-hype now but some stuff will come out of it.

Mark Zuckerberg hiring top AI researchers worries me more than Iran hiring nuclear scientists.

better than sam altman having them

Sam Altman is leading OpenAI out of the goodness of his heart. He told Congress he has zero equity or financial stake in OpenAI.

Come on everybody, please don't post shallow dismissals. This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

That includes personal attacks, regardless of who it's about. When a comment has a high bile/information ratio, it's off topic here.

You may not owe $CelebrityBillionaire better, but you owe this community better if you're participating in it.

Many worrisome aspects with this in terms of smelling like a super bubble.

Even being bullish on LLMs, it is not obvious this is the right paradigm even for AGI let alone something beyond AGI.

Seems like it could be 10 years from now "Remember during the peak of the bubble when Zuckerberg was paying researchers 100 million dollars to try to make a super humanoid robot out of just a mouth?"
