Open AI models are just a few months behind closed models, and the gap is actually getting more narrow.

And you are assuming they don't remain in control. Which of you is right? We don't know yet, but I don't find the arguments of card-carrying doomers any more convincing that those of card-carrying singularitarian utopians. Hi

Wrong. AI companies is still legally liable for anything their models do when they operate them. There is no special exception for them. But the fact is that not every potential crime results in litigation. Many crimes are only prosecuted i

Well, with proper compaction algorithm (like in Codex), it could indeed be useful for majority of tasks even in the future. The context length in Codex is just 272k, but it can reason well about much larger codebases due to good exploration
