I get the feeling but what altenrative would you prefer?

I do want my phone to just go again without complaining without a crash, after all.

This is a very cool demo - if you dig deeper there’s a clip of them having a “blind” AI talk to another AI with live camera input to ask it to explain what it’s seeing. Then they, together, sing a song about what they’re looking at, alternating each line, and rhyming with one another .

This is still gpt4. I don’t expect much more from this version than what previous version could do, in terms of reasoning abilities. But everyone is expecting them to release gpt5 later this year, and it is a bit scary to think what it will be able to do.

It's quite different from gpt4 in two respects:

1) It's natively multi-modal in a way I don't think gpt4 was.

2) It's at least twice as efficient in terms of compute. Maybe 3 times more efficient, considering the increase in performance.

Combined, those point towards some major breakthroughs having gone into the model. If the quality of the output hasn't gone up THAT much, it's probably because the technological innovations mostly were leveraged (for this version) to reduce costs rather than capabilities.

My guess is that we should expect them to leverage the 2x-3x boost in efficiency in a model that is at least as large as GTP4 relatively soon, probably this year unless OpenAI has safety concerns or something, and keeps it internal-only.

To be honest, this comment makes me think it would be interesting to have a grumpy version of AI just for fun

What popped out to me in the "bunny ear" video, the bunny ears are not actually visible to the phone's camera Greg is holding. Are they in the background feeding the production camera and this is not really a live demo?

The bunny ears were actually visible on the phone's camera for about one second towards the end.

Absolutely. I can feel but — but this is one/two calibration steps away from me not caring/noticing. I would be very hard pressed to believe this is where the magic human sauce will forever lie (or even more than +1 year), will fully acknowledging how weirdly off it feels right this moment. The progress is undeniably at a speed that surpasses anything I can process or adjust to. It's a rollercoaster ride.

I have no trouble believing the best (whatever that means to me) humans that have ever existed in 2 years will not be human. But I have trouble understanding.

> Can it just do my entire job for me?

All AIs up to now lack autonomy. So I'd say until we crack this problem, it is not going to be able to do your job. Autonomy depends on a kind of data that is iterative, multi-turn, and learning from environments not from static datasets. We have the exact opposite, lots of non-iterative, off-policy (human made AI consumed) text.

Yes it feels very cyberpunk.

Me: I can't breathe, am i going to die?

Enthusiastic woman's voice: Yes Jim, that's absolutely correct! You will die of suffocation in approximately 3 minutes 41 seconds. Anything else i can do for you?

Until the hallucination problem is solved, the output can't be trusted.

So outside of use-cases where the user can quickly verify the result (like picking a decent generated image etc.),I can't see it being used much.
