But to boil it down to autocomplete is just totally disingenuous.
It is though from Ilya's own words: "We weren't expecting that just finding the next word will lead to something intelligent; ChatGPT just finds the next token"
OP was using the word autocomplete as a pejorative, but it's actually not and it is the strategy LLMs are pursuing.
The example that Ilya's was using: If you feed the LLMs a mystery murder novel and it is able to autocomplete "The killer is" from just clues, you have achieved intelligence.
Nothing wrong with autocomplete being AGI.
If you're going to speak so abstractly you really lose the forest for the trees IMO. I do like the murder mystery example
That's actually a good analogy with autocomplete. A plane reactor still measures itself in "horse"-power. It's technically a very very powerful horse. Trying to get better and better horses got us here. Like GPT-4 is a very very powerful GMail-like autocomplete. :)
Being upset because the board hinders the company's mission, but threaten to join MS to kill the mission completely.
The board isn't merely hindering the mission, that's downplaying the extraordinary incompetence of the remaining OpenAI board.
A new company ok, but that kills the mission for sure.
That's like Obi Wan joining the Sith because Anakin didn't bring balance to the force.
Well, except for Sam, he apparently didn't need a diverse slate.
