...yet they struggle to find productive applications, shamefully hide their training data and can't substantiate their claims of superhuman capability. You could have said the same thing about Bitcoin and been technically correct, but society as a whole moved in a different direction. It's really not that big of a stretch to imagine a world where LLM capability plateaus and OpenAI's value goes down the toilet.
There is simply no evidence for the sort of scaling Sam Altman insists is possible. No preliminary research has confirmed it is around the corner, and in fact tends to suggest the opposite of what OpenAI claims is possible. It's not nuclear fusion or commercial supersonic flight - it's a pipe-dream from start to finish.
