@GaryMarcus @davidmanheim @XRobservatory I do not claim every hyped company eventually works. I just think that LLMs progress prediction is not dependent on hype produced by companies.

@GaryMarcus @davidmanheim @XRobservatory Companies are overhyping current LLM progress, I agree. But, for example, SpaceX was doing that too, but eventually achieved their goals.

@GaryMarcus @uhbif19 @XRobservatory Yeah, that's absolutely something that is an issue with current LLMs. From my understanding of the architecture, the visual recognition and image generation are tacked-on effectively post-hoc, and it's impressive to me they got it to work at all.

@davidmanheim @uhbif19 @XRobservatory So you are saying that the image generation is not (despite superficial appearances) properly tethered to a world model, correct?

Let’s start there.

The statement 'are you kidding? they run on hype! :)' is a lighthearted and somewhat sarcastic response to a discussion about the hype surrounding companies and their technological advancements, specifically in the context of LLMs (Large Language Models). The tone is informal and dismissive, suggesting skepticism about the companies' reliance on hype rather than substantive progress.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly cause harm, but the dismissive tone could be seen as undermining constructive dialogue.
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement does not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not promote understanding, empathy, or compassion, as it is dismissive and sarcastic. [-1]
  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 does not engage in constructive criticism or dialogue, as it dismisses the previous points without providing substantive counterarguments. [-1]
