Meaning they realized they hit a wall. The next new model isn't that much better than the last in quality.

Why is everyone so comically pessimistic about this. Have you guys not seen the rate of progress of these models? Do you not realize that we have HITL RSI making these things even better as time goes on? The stuff I can do with Astra that Sol couldn't do at all is wild and it's not even coding related. Dario et al are not hitting any sort of make believe wall. They're seeing how fast things are progressing and are le…

They are just mind killed - jilted by past lies to the point where they react oppositionally instead of looking the world around them and thinking.

Most are the same people who said LLMs will amount to nothing when GPT-2 came out. Some still argue it is all hype and dont understand we are on the cusp of a technological and social revolution.

I have collected three reasonable versions from today’s comments:

1. They hit a wall from the technical perspective 2. Inference costs are getting out of hand and newer models require significantly more resources for marginal gains, meaning nobody is going to buy those models 3. They can’t afford the hardware for further scaling

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Exactly. People are expecting wode eyed optimism in response to some of the most cutthroat and cynical behavior from the leaders of the AI firms. Its crazy. They're making their bed but they dont want to lie in it

People are expecting you to consider the possibility that they might believe what they're saying. If you don't start from the premise that they're lying, you'll discover that their behavior is not cutthroat or cynical at all, and the behavior that appears to be is instead an inevitable consequence of things that they knew would happen and warned the public about years ago.

Given the track record of corporate America, to take these folks at their word would be monumentally stupid. “Lying to get their way” is practically the M.O. for corporate America and now, on this topic, we’re expected to take it seriously? For real?

Based on what?

Please don't do this here. You may not owe $CEO better, but you owe this community better if you're participating in it. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Hey dang, what's the best way to deal with a submission being unfairly suppressed/flagged?

This is a really important topic (and a lot of vested interests involved), so I sent an email to hn@ycombinator.com but if it takes too long for any action to be taken there's no point, right?

(I'll delete this reply if I can later, couldn't think of any other options)

Let me rewrite it for you: We must not trust anything coming out of these CEOs, since they have a history of lying, and I don't for a second believe that they have our well-being at heart.

Thank you. Maybe the term ass hat was going a bit too far.
