Wow! Many complaining about pause letter didn’t read the letter; many think that it banned all AI, or all AI research.

It did neither; it *encouraged* some AI research.

Per below, the only thing that pause letter called for pausing–training GPT5–isn’t actually happening!

Every new data point points in the same direction: exponential growth has stalled. It’s been 14 months and nothing that merits the name GPT-5 has emerged.

How long before we acknowledge that alternative approaches are needed?
