Every competitors were done when Claude 3.5 was released, every competitors were done when o1 was released, the entire West was done when DeepSeek was released, the world was done when Mistral Le Chat was released, I guess now it's time for the solar system to be done because of Grok3. Let's see what new model dominates the galaxy next week.
There's a level of truth to many of those statements.
1) Claude 3.5 prevented OpenAI from making big monopoly profits on LLM inference
2) Open source models like Mistral and Llama effectively prevented any regulator from controlling how people fine tuned models, and what they used them for
3) Deepseek prevented the collective west from exerting control over the creation of base models
"Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data."
Despite explicitly requesting the tetris/bejeweled hybrid to be "insanely impressive", the result was ugly and clunky. With that demo running in the background, they then segued into a hiring pitch for a new AI game studio. Consider me unimpressed.
Yes, but we have a long track record of one overpromising and underdelivering, charging money for what doesn't yet exist; while the other released stuff on a minimal website with an associated blog post for fanfare, and actually (metaphorically) turned the world upsidedown, and only charges for what they actually deliver. Yes there's hype now, but that's how it began.
So I think people are less distrustful of Altman when he says "thousands of days".
It would be satisfying if he gets called out for repeating himself next time he tries to come out and say he is scared how powerful their next model is.
