They are admitting[1] that the new model is the gpt2-chatbot that we have seen before[2]. As many highlighted there, the model is not an improvement like GPT3->GPT4. I tested a bunch of programming stuff and it was not that much better. It's interesting that OpenAI is highlighting the Elo score instead of showing results for many many benchmarks that all models are stuck at 50-70% success. [1] https://twitter.com/Lia…

Ohhhhhhhh, boy... Listening to all that emotional vocal inflection and feedback... There are going to be at least 10 million lonely guys with new AI girlfriends. "She's not real. But, she interested in everything I say and excited about everything I care about" is enough of a sales pitch for a lot of people.

I guess I can never understand the perspective of someone that just needs a girl voice to speak to them. Without a body there is nothing to fulfill me.

This thing continues to stress my skepticism for AI scaling laws and the broad AI semiconductor capex spending. 1- OpenAI is still working in GPT-4-level models. More than 14 months after the launch of GPT-4 and after more than $10B in capital raised. 2- The rhythm that token prices are collapsing is bizarre. Now a (bit) better model for 50% of the price. How people seriously expect these foundational model companies…

I’m a huge user of GPT4 and Opus in my work but I’m a huge user of GPT4-Turbo voice in my personal life. I use it on my commutes to learn all sorts of stuff. I’ve never understood the details of cameras and the relationship between shutter speed and aperture and iso in a modern dslr which given the aurora was important. We talked through and I got to an understanding in a way having read manuals and textbooks didn’t…

The demo was whelming, but the tech is incredible.

It took me a few hours of digesting twitter experiments before appreciating how impressive this is. Kudos to the openai team.

A question that won't get answered : "To what degree do the new NVIDIA gpus help with the realtime latency?"

This is pretty amazing but it was funny still hearing the OpenGPT "voice" of somewhat fake sounding enthusiasm and restating what was said by the human with exaggeration

HOW ARE PEOPLE NOT MORE EXCITED, hes cutting off the AI mid sentence in these and its pausing to readjust in damn near realtime latency! WTF Thats a MAJOR step forward, what the hell is gpt5 going to look like. That realtime translation would be amazing as an option in say Skype or Teams, set each individuals native language and handle automated translation, shit tie it into ElevenLabs to replicate your voice as well…

The usual critics will quickly point out that LLMs like GPT-4o still have a lot of failure modes and suffer from issues that remain unresolved. They will point out that we're reaping diminishing returns from Transformers. They will question the absence of a "GPT-5" model. And so on -- blah, blah, blah, stochastic parrots, blah, blah, blah. Ignore the critics. Watch the demos. Play with it. This stuff feels magical .…

You'll have a great time once you discover literature. Especially early modern novels, texts the authors sometimes spent decades refining, under the combined influences of classical arts and thinking, Enlightenment philosophy and science.

If chatbots feel magical, what those people did will feel divinely inspired.
