If the scaling continues. We just don't know. It is kinda a meme at this point, that there is no more "publicly available"... cough... training data. And while there have been massive breakthroughs in architecture, a lot of t

What they do is extraordinary, but it's not just a claim, they actually do, their doing so is evidence. Here someone just claimed that it is "entirely clear" LLMs will become super-human, without any evidence. https:/&#

It's always good to have an alternative reason beyond "we want to crush the competition", especially if one of these pesky anti-trust lawsuits comes around. It's very easily possible for both to be true, there is a &quot

If your manipulative spouse believes in "bizarre" untruths and convinces you to believe in them as well, afaik, that is one of the criteria for Folie a deux (or Shared delusional disorder).
