guys like altman are just knowingly lying about current and future projected capabilities. it's really obvious by now that LLMs are not going to make any more qualitative leaps, and the "scaling hypothesis" no longer holds
i'm not saying that LLMs won't keep getting marginally better, and that people will find very useful ways of implementing them in practice - they will. but any talk of "AGI" or generalized capabilities in LLMs is at this point knowingly and deliberately misleading and meant to deceive the public and investors

SV is a uniquely scammy culture where tech cos have been allowed to huck futuristic bullshit to a public and a market that doesn't fully understand the tech and is desperate for something to speculate on. Compare this to say, the biotech or pharma fields, where they could theoretically do the same thing but the regulatory environment is oppressive enough to where it's reigned in the culture, so ppl shy away from hype even if that hype wouldn't actually get you cracked down on. (I always say that if Elizabeth Holmes had just stuck to SV bread and butter instead of making a fake blood testing machine, she'd 100% be a billionaire, and probably have moved on to CEO of an incumbent firm, today.)
As big a problem as (maybe bigger than) the technologists themselves is VC. The firms VCs invest in aren't publicly traded, so there's no opportunity to short, resulting in a field where no one shits on anyone else's investment and it's a pure one-way positive feedback loop. Venture capitalists are known to get catty and defensive as fuck at the most gentle/accidental passing criticism from other VCs, because that's not how the game is played and everyone should know that a rising tide of hype raises all fraud ships.
