@emollick 1. Doesn’t OpenAI’s retreated to Orion as 4.5 and concession that 5 would not be a pure LLM already tell you that?

2. Will you or anyone else give me any credit if the first scaling law does not hold up, as I predicted in 2022? For years I was ridiculed and disparaged for saying…

The significance of Grok 3, outside of X drama, is that it is the first full model release that we definitely know is at least an order of magnitude larger than GPT-4 class models in training compute, so it will help us understand whether 1st scaling law (pre-training) holds up.

The statement is part of a conversation about the integrity and recognition within the context of AI model development and predictions. It acknowledges a rare exception in integrity, implying a critique of others in the field.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly harm others but implies a critique of the integrity of many in the field, which could be seen as indirectly harmful. [-1]
  2. 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 engages in a form of constructive criticism by acknowledging an exception to a perceived norm, but it could be interpreted as a subtle personal attack on others' integrity.
