  • It's so dangerous it'll tell you to make more glue pizzas

  • Every model they've released (after 4) has been seemingly worse than the previous.

    • they're well at the top of the S-curve and now there's only desperate over-engineering and bolting on special cases left

      • I still cannot believe that they couldn't special-case count 'R' in "strawberry" for their Strawberry model like what the fuck

      • Could be. I was in the beta and honestly, I think the "guard-rails" they've had to put in truly do impact performance. Even 3.5 was better than much of what I see out of 4o

  • really stretching the meaning of the word release past breaking if it’s only going to be available to companies friendly with OpenAI

    Orion has been teased by an OpenAI executive as potentially up to 100 times more powerful than GPT-4; it’s separate from the o1 reasoning model OpenAI released in September. The company’s goal is to combine its LLMs over time to create an even more capable model that could eventually be called artificial general intelligence, or AGI.

    so I’m calling it now, this absolute horseshit’s only purpose is desperate critihype. as with previous rounds of this exact same thing, it’ll only exist to give AI influencers a way to feel superior in conversation and grift more research funds. oh of course Strawberry fucks up that prompt but look, my advance access to Orion does so well I’m sure you’ll agree with me it’s AGI! no you can’t prompt it yourself or know how many times I ran the prompt why would I let you do that

    That timing lines up with a cryptic post on X by OpenAI Altman, in which he said he was “excited for the winter constellations to rise soon.” If you ask ChatGPT o1-preview what Altman’s post is hiding, it will tell you that he’s hinting at the word Orion, which is the winter constellation that’s most visible in the night sky from November to February (but it also hallucinates that you can rearrange the letters to spell “ORION”).

    there’s something incredibly embarrassing about the fact that Sammy announced the name like a lazy ARG based on a GPT response, which GPT proceeded to absolutely fuck up when asked about. a lot like Strawberry really — there’s so much Binance energy in naming the new version of your product after the stupid shit the last version fucked up, especially if the new version doesn’t fix the problem
