- sixtyj 3mo ago69 pages long.
- malshe 3mo agoThe main text is only 23 pages double-spaced. The remaining manuscript comprises images, tables, and references. It's not that long really.
- datadrivenangel 3mo agothe rest of the 'supporting' material adds little.
- sdsd 3mo agoYou're assuming the comment you respond to is complaining about the length. I believe you're mistaken, and they're actually appreciating that the number of pages references a common practice where you lay on someone upside down and lick eachothers' weiners/vaginas
- redrove 3mo agoI think you're supposed to use AI to digest it

- mjg2 3mo agoWould it kill these OpenAI guys to learn how to write a white paper? Google's DeepMind did better with their AGI to ASI, though I have qualms on their execution. Whenever I see these Frontier Labs "publish a paper" on ArXiv.org the phrase Esse Quam Videri strides past my mind—is this genuine progress or merely a marketing metric for their stakeholders?
- malshe 3mo agoyou are complaining about a problem with this paper without explaining what it is.
- glouwbug 3mo agoLikely just formatting
- paxys 3mo agoMaking valid complaints would require actually reading it.
- mjg2 3mo agoWhen I say “how” I mean like how u/glouwbug mentioned: Formatting. But more so Structure. When I read artifacts by Frontier Labs I notice a trend towards deteriorating lexicographic architecture. Like how a textbook or larger tomb is constructed for the reader to navigate. Instead, now I see continuous monotonic text. It’s as if the author expects us to chuck the artifact into an LLM in order for it to inform us of meaning.

- GolfPopper 3mo agoPurely anecdotally, over the last few weeks I've noticed a significant uptick in articles trying to convince me how awesome AI is doing. And that's from a pretty high baseline of articles that were already telling me how I should really appreciate how awesome AI is. It's almost as though there's some worry that the wheels are going to come off before the right people are able to cash out.
- andrekandre 3mo agoisnt it how marketing is done these days? people/companies buy views, clicks, articles, posts on social media saying how great something/someone is or how its changed their life etc etc. it really becomes hard to separate the wheat/chaff for alot of these things...
- gorszon 3mo agoThe way I separate oponion from marketing wich is, admitedly not the best method, is to look if it is written by a random guy on a blog, or by an account with a for profit organization behind it, the former can definetly be wrong since its just a random guy on a blog, the latter is almost certainly marketing, even random accounts social media pushes are most likely just ads.
- sagabai 3mo agoThanks for the article! Too opinionated imp, but an interesting read.
- HDThoreaun 3mo agoIt feels like Im in a different world than this author. Cluade code is now more reliable and trustworthy than most of my coworkers but this author hasnt seen a single AI initiative succeed? Seems like theyre just being obtuse because the only other explanation I can think of is user error.

- jcims 3mo agoI didn't scour the text but one thing I didn't see as an explanatory consideration in the paper is that the larger companies they talk about having larger adoption are also much more likely to have reasonably robust controls (and consequences) that prevent mixing personal/corporate use of AI tooling. That's my world. On the other hand my girlfriend is a teacher and for the past year ChatGPT has allowed her to augment her lesson plans with slides/games/etc that have had a very positive effect on student engagement. She also uses it to help with analysis of testing data against her lesson plans and state standards to find places to shore things up as the year progresses. She runs the english language learning department in her school and also uses it to help ensure that there is representation in her materials for the huge mix of cultural backgrounds of her students. It's truly helped her immensely and it's all been on her personal account. The district has no program or budget to guide or support teachers and admin on using these tools in education.
- Alien1Being 3mo agoSuch a shame. Schools for the poorer segments of society keep adding more and more technology, eroding the analytical skills of their students and staff. But the shiny things keep the poorer parents and mediocre teachers happy while keeping down cost per lesson per child. This keeps the administrators happy. Meanwhile ultra-expensive elite private schools for the children of the Zuckerbergs, Al Sauds, Al Nahyans, where the teachers are Ivy and Oxbridge graduates emphasise tradition, classical studies and analytical skills while relegating technology to a minor role As always the children of the rich and powerful get bespoke education... You could call it elegant education for a more civilized age...

- Alien1Being 3mo agoThis is the typical response of teachers and parents from poorly funded public schools. The poor get machine manufactured education and these days AI generated quasi-educational slop. As always the children of the rich and powerful get bespoke education... You could call it elegant education for a more civilized age...
- hmokiguess 3mo agoQuestion: "How" Answer: Yes.
- interludead 3mo agoAnswer: differently and increasingly
- cess11 3mo agoThis reads like some crypto or NFT commodity white paper, i.e. like an ad that says you need to use this now, and more, so that you'll figure out what it's good for. A difference is that in those white papers they usually argue that their solution is more perfect in some sense than some more adopted alternative, here they instead claim that their commercial offering is "general purpose".
- interludead 3mo agoI get the ad-like vibe, but I think that's slightly unfair to the paper. "General purpose technology" is being used as an economics term here, not as a claim that ChatGPT is universally useful

- ares623 3mo agoConclusion: no measureable ROI. In fact, the enterprises have no idea where or how to begin measuring (we don't either tbh). We are still early. Keep buying our product, so we can find out, together.
- RandomLensman 3mo agoWhat is difficult about measuring RoI? Time scales?
- usrbinbash 3mo agoSounds like a question the AI labs should answer. After all, they all say they sell artificial intelligence. So why does that intelligence seem to have a hard time even showing its own usefulness?
- RandomLensman 3mo agoShouldn't it be the users that need to do any RoI measurements? Not sure you'll get detailed data from them easily.
- datadrivenangel 3mo agoThey draw a random sample of matched adopters but use the full Compustat population of US companies as non-adopters and don't disclose the sampling rate, which is statistically risky. Also doesn't account for pilots. If a Enterprise customer has 10 licenses for a pilot, they could be in there.

- interludead 3mo agoInteresting data, but I think there's a pretty big trap in treating usage intensity as a proxy for economic impact. The finding that early-career workers send substantially more messages than senior people could mean they're getting huge productivity gains. It could also mean they're the ones doing the work that's easiest to delegate to ChatGPT…
