@GaryMarcus I wouldn’t assume that all of the research is going to LLMs.

@emollick the problem is we need R into approaches that aren’t LLMs, because LLMs have many intrinsic problems.

it’s those problems that mean there will be an eventual bust.

R typically comes before D.

We have better insight in LLM timing than in most industries. It is over a year to go from startup to GPT-4 class model even with infinite money (Musk, Google).

I don’t think that this tells us anything about whether we are in a bubble or a boom.
