Why is that so though? Because of false marketing to the degree that is criminal. Elon does have one excuse: Tesla would be bankrupt several times over except for his purposeful criminal lies. Does he actually care about the company? He pumped out OOM more value from Tesla than anyone in history of any company. That is how much he cares about company surviving. Criminal. And too dum* to think of anything innovative to save the company.


OMG. Helen Keller. If examples help you people. Prob not.


Was Helen Keller severely paralyzed????

  a human who is born blind and severely paralyzed (so they cannot speak or sign)


VCs are betting they'll get out with at least some gains before this bubble bursts. They have literally nothing new, not even in theory. They'll build a smaller-but-not-that-small-still-better-than-you-expect model which will be kind of open for others, which means they'll cut some deal and pretend they did something and that they received something in return.


> They have literally nothing new, not even in theory

They haven’t built anything yet. It’s a bit premature to call out the non-existing product as insufficiently novel.

I think the point is that the pie-in-the-sky promises are insufficiently novel.

You have no data to judge novelty on. If you think AI rocket science, they’re flubs. If you don’t, they have a shot. Either way, I can’t see novelty being unsatisfied.


Literally everyone from OpenAI lied 100% about everything of substance. Sutskever lied about "world model" inside of LLMs, which is such a despicable lie, because he knows that "latent space" is a TOTAL MESS. Proven everytime anyone looked at it. Shameless grifters. When end?


Sure. Except that LLMs can not reason or do anything reliably. You can still believe that, of course, but it will not change reality.


So far, Sutskever has shown to be nothing but a dummy. Yes, he had a lucky break with belief that "moar data" will bring significant advancement. It was somewhat impressive, but ChatGPT -whatever- is just a toy. Nothing more. It breaks down immediately when any sign of intelligence or understanding would be needed. Someone being so much into LLMs or whatever implementation of ML is absolutely not someone who would be a good bet of inventing a real breakthrough. But they will burn a lot of value and make everyone of their ilk happy. Just like crypto bros.


It's incredible that "LLM scam" or "LLM grift" is still going on. They are doing everything to not lose those $200 bln, but it's gone. It's went into heat, gone gone. Anyone talking about "infinite value when AGI" needs to take a break. There is no such thing and if anyone's saying such "non-smart" things, means THEY HAVE NOTHING. And they understand nothing or are lying to you, and/or are invested in this scam and scared of losing it all. One example: Even if/when there is AGI, so what? What more could AGI tell about you so you could "buy more stuff" or "make you better"? Not much. So it's still personal data where bigger value lies. This BS has to end. I'm fed up. (We are.)
