I expect them not to lie? If it's worth hyping hard, hype it hard. If it's an incremental improvement, don't. It makes me crazy that this kind of institutionalized lying is so normal in the Valley that we get comments like yours shaming people for not understanding that lies are the default baseline. Can't we expect better? This culture is what gives us shit like Theranos, where we all pretend to be shocked even though any outside analysis could see it was an inevitable outcome.

“In the valley” Please check out claims made by supplements, which are unregulated by the FDA. You’ll find institutionalized lying there, as well. Any claim that can be made without being held up to false advertising will be made.

  Maybe that's a good term to use for GPT-5: it's a supplement.

  Is that supposed to be exonerative? "Well, we're no worse than snakeoil-selling medical frauds"? I was hoping, apparently in vain, we could aspire to better than that.
