Funny the author cherry picks the rubiks cube "breakthrough" but not AlphaGo or from GPT2 to ChatGPT. I don't think anyone could've predicted the massive jump from pre-instruct GPTs, heck even going 3.5 to 4 is a clear step difference.
If Altman was referring to Q* in his "pushing the veil of ignorance" comment then Q* is in OAI's top four breakthroughs
- dkrich 3y agoI think he’s using that to show that there is a precedent with this company to make misleading announcements that at first sound exciting but under the surface turn out to be overstated. It does seem a bit odd to make a grandiose, vague announcement about a breakthrough outside of a major Jobs-esque unveiling. If you had some amazing new capability, what’s the motivation to hint at it publicly versus unveil it with a major announcement/demo? It makes me wonder if it’s an attempt to keep the public in awe with a dangling carrot. I’m also skeptical when companies’ and founders’ reputations seem to greatly outpace actual product deliveries.
- Rastonbury 3y agoAlphaGo and ChatGPT were groundbreaking and are more recent, if anything those should form a new precendent, he is deliberately ignoring them and dug out the most underwhelming one. Q* was a leak when the company was without a CEO, their DevDay was 2 week ago That said, based on many comments here the author is a skeptic to the point that people don't take him seriously
