@GaryMarcus Exponential improvement was marketing bullshit and has always has been. Saying that, I still think this release shows a pretty solid rate of progress nonetheless. Once it can run locally and act like Siri, I believe the user base will increase by a lot, and a lot more will chang

The statement is part of a public discourse on the development and marketing of AI technologies, specifically addressing the claims of exponential improvement versus observed progress. The tone is somewhat skeptical and critical, using a metaphorical emoji to suggest the 'death' of scaling laws, which implies a critique of overly optimistic or misleading marketing in AI development.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not cause harm but critiques potential misleading information, which could be seen as beneficial in promoting a more accurate understanding of AI progress. [+1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement respects the dignity of others by focusing on the critique of ideas and claims rather than personal attacks. [+1]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The use of a metaphorical emoji to signify the 'death' of a concept may not foster the most constructive or empathetic dialogue, but it does not significantly detract from the overall intent to critique.
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement encourages a more grounded perspective on AI development, which could lead to more realistic expectations and discussions among the public and professionals. [+1]
  5. Principle 5:
    I will acknowledge and correct my mistakes.
    There is no indication of acknowledging counterpoints or correcting any previous statements made by the speaker themselves, but it does challenge the claims made by others, which could indirectly prompt corrections or clarifications.
  6. Principle 7:
    I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.
    The statement uses the platform to critique and potentially correct public misconceptions, which aligns with responsible use of influence in public discourse. [+1]
