This article is one of the dumbest takes I have ever seen. The author claims that OpenAI is out of ideas because they are only improving what they already have since GPT3.

That's like saying, getting a new computer is pointless, because it only has a better CPU, more memory and a better GPU, but is still the same parts, so it's pointless and they are out of ideas for making new computers.

One thing does not preclude the other. If someone keeps selling you incrementally better computers that consume more energy, and they also happen to sell you the energy you’re using, then (a) you should be suspicious and (b) you’d be right to suspect they’re out of ideas.

But you don’t necessarily need to stop buying the computers if it still makes sense to you.

My hope is on John Carmack....
