@PaulSweeney @webioHQ 💯 The new front door to the internet is here. Portals enabled passive consumption. Search boxes enabled proactive information archeology. AI now enables discovery, consumption and bidirectional exploration. For the first time, information has its own voice.

@jowyang Was the original statement untrue about being behind or was he just targeting the wrong cause?

[Scott Stevenson @scottastevenson]

In terms of balance, there are too many ML researchers compared to the number of pragmatic LLM hackers

It's like everyone wants to show that they can build database software from scratch, and (relatively) few understand how to actually build good applications on top of databases

There will be a lot more application companies than there will be foundation companies.

Every application company is struggling more in finding skilled LLM hackers than it is in finding R&D talent.

@jowyang Wasn't the two-income requirement also true five years ago?

[Bret Kinsella (Read Synthedia) @bretkinsella]

This is true. Google is turning search results into the thing it replaced 20 years ago (and Bing perpetuates), the bloated portal. Too much clutter. Too much focus on driving clicks to other Google properties. Too much focus on driving ad clicks as opposed to helping the user.

This is the opposite of Google's origin and reflects the expected shift to the incumbent from the challenger. I understand the short-term economic incentive. With that said, Google has created the circumstances for alternatives to emerge.

Also, I'm not sure you have the correct link for the article as I don't see Perplexity mentioned.

Ilya and OpenAI are going to part ways. This is very sad to me; Ilya is easily one of the greatest minds of our generation, a guiding light of our field, and a dear friend. His brilliance and vision are well known; his warmth and compassion are less well known but no less important.

OpenAI would not be what it is without him. Although he has something personally meaningful he is going to go work on, I am forever grateful for what he did here and committed to finishing the mission we started together. I am happy that for so long I got to be close to such genuinely remarkable genius, and someone so focused on getting to the best future for humanity.

Jakub is going to be our new Chief Scientist. Jakub is also easily one of the greatest minds of our generation; I am thrilled he is taking the baton here. He has run many of our most important projects, and I am very confident he will lead us to make rapid and safe progress towards our mission of ensuring that AGI benefits everyone.

@leithnyang @martin_casado @rlacombe I'm not convinced of this as a rule. It is situational, largely because of the cost and latency tax of large context windows. While large context windows open up new use cases, others require more cost-efficiency and speed. More tokens per query = more time and cost.

@jowyang You said “how soon?” I was offering another option. Never. Why is it the default that it is inevitable? Is it possible this is not a realistic risk?

[Bret Kinsella (Read Synthedia) @bretkinsella]

@martin_casado Every era sees self deluded people that cannot recognize the absurdity they espouse. Very smart people are capable of the mental gymnastics that enables them to convince themselves of illogical positions.
