@GaryMarcus It's rather telling that Sam Altman has to make subjective excuses for failure against all objective measures. He's pivoted to claiming that it's 'magic' now. How delightfully undefinable!

This 'magic' is being leveraged to jack up the costs to consumers

GPT-4.5 is ready!

bad news: it is a giant, expensive model. we…

A big surprise only to you and the many other OpenAI fans who refused to listen to me, when I patiently and endlessly explained that this would be exactly what would happen.

For the rest of us, this was all but inevitable.

Judging by the mood, GPT-4.5 is the first big failure of OpenAI: too expensive, too little improvement, and often inferior to GPT-4o even in comparison in creative answers in community tests.

This comes as a big surprise.

The statement is part of a broader public discourse about the performance and implications of OpenAI's GPT-4.5 model. The conversation involves critiques and defenses of the model's capabilities, costs, and the company's communication strategies. The statement by @MolloyLaurence and the subsequent reply by @GaryMarcus engage in a critical discussion about the subjective versus objective evaluation of AI technology, which is a significant public issue.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly cause harm but engages in a critical discussion about AI technology.
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not explicitly promote understanding, empathy, or compassion, but it does engage in a dialogue that could lead to better understanding of the issues.
  3. 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 constructive criticism of OpenAI's communication strategy and the perceived shortcomings of GPT-4.5, without resorting to personal attacks. [+1]
  4. Principle 7:
    I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.
    The statement upholds free speech and uses the platform to engage in a public discussion about AI technology responsibly. [+1]
