Am I the only person who thinks OpenAI just doesn't know where to go from here?

Am I the only person who thinks OpenAI just doesn't know where to go from here?
- bcjordan 3y agoStill feels like they're laser-focused on achieving AGI/aligned ASI. Improving chips and evolving the UX feel like cohesive (possibly requisite) intermediate steps
- baq 3y agoIt might be that, or they might know exactly where to go from here, just need the hardware.
- hcks 3y agoThey stumbled upon a mass market product while releasing a rough research poc… If anything it vindicates even more their initial thesis about pursuing AGI as a business goal.
- vb-8448 3y agoI guess they are trying to find a path to profitability and scalability: the current setup will not to scale much further, and they need some more energy efficient solution.
- theptip 3y agoAre we watching the same company? They have been shipping new features like crazy. Code interpreter blew peoples' minds, they are training GPT-5 and I bet they are leaning into multi-modal more than with GPT-4V. Strategically multimodal is the big frontier on which they are going to continue expanding datasets. With that in mind, expanding their apps to ingest more audio and image data is an obvious strong move. (And you can see why a consumer device would help them get even more data from the real world, though it's less obvious to me that this is a win vs. just shipping apps.)
- ikeashark 3y agoOpenAI confirms they aren't working on or training a a "GPT-5" https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/07/openai-gpt5-sam-altman/#:~:text=OpenAI%20is%20still%20not%20training,Sam%20Altman's%20large%20language%20models https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/07/openai-gpt5-sam-altman/#:~....
- n40487171 3y agoIt sounded like they weren't training but they were trying to figure out what gpt-5 structure, tooling, and training data will look like
- blovescoffee 3y agoThis was in June and they've continued to improve GPT-4 since then. Surely they're building on GPT-4 to learn how to approach GPT-5
- theptip 3y ago4 months is an eternity in AI right now. I would be shocked if they are not training a new GPT (at least in experimentation/research mode, if not full pretraining) - else what are their GPUs spinning on? That is not a capital investment you just let sit idle. But I concede that I don’t have any concrete proof so I should modulate my certainty of tone.
- mathisfun123 3y agothis isn't going to be a product, this is going to be for internal use only...
- rvz 3y agoThey do, and it is to accelerate their closed AI ecosystem and maintain their first mover advantage.
- digging 3y agoOnly in the sense that no-one on earth knows how to get from here to true AGI. But they're making moves.
