Well apparently they have hit a wall, throwing more parameters into the models is not significantly producing better models. The only measurable increase in ChatGPT-5 is in language skills. Logic, coding etc. are the same, despite having significantly more parameters. So if more parameters is not making better models we might have reached the peak ability of large language models. Unless they pull a bunny out of a hat ChatGPT-4 might be as good as it gets.

"Bill Gates feels Generative AI has plateaued, says GPT-5 will not be any better" - he said that a year ago. Don't like the guy personally, but he seems to have hit the nail on the head - even a blind chicken can find some corn.

"Not that I've used it for any real work" - noted.

YABB - I should patent it or copyright it or something. Big yawn, so it was discovered by America and then they gave it to the Chinese for cheap pollution free (for the USA) manufacture. The amount of times EVERYONE here on /. has heard about the next better battery is... a lot. Clearly it's not that great, otherwise it would be everywhere. Another minor incremental battery change, or one that's really nice, but too expensive to be actually useful. You are right, the US taxpayers were robbed.

Probably because it FAILED at both.

His complaint was more interesting than the article, and it was a valid point. No one is going to give a flying duck about a pebble that moved 4 km's on a planet that regularly has wind storms that clock 70 miles an hour lasting anything from two weeks to two months. No one gives a flying duck NOW. What this article says to me is that we spent millions/billions landing a car on Mars and all it's achieved in the last x months is moving a pebble 4 km's.

Ho hum, more waffle, you can bin the opinion of whoever stopped drooling long enough to write this drivel along with the people who said the LHC would create a black hole and destroy the planet. It's wafflers like this who advised Max Plank in 1874 to pick another career because there was "not much left to do" in theoretical physics. That waffler was Max Plank's PROFESSOR Philipp von Jolly, just another instance where the "science" got it wrong, or at least the "main stream" science at the time.

Charles H. Duell was quoted as saying that "everything that can be invented, has been invented" he said that in 1899.

Glad we didn't "follow the science".

Of course they do, they can just block twitter et al from the entire country. They are regulating twitter INSIDE their own country, they have every right and its their jurisdiction. What you have no authority or jurisdiction over, is telling another sovereign nation what it should do or allow in its own country.

What are you whaffling about?
Encryption (PGP I think) used to be illegal to have on your laptop in the USA, or there was a version you couldn't have or something.
There was some issues with the PSX encryption key as well.
Some guy spent 4 years in jail for refusing to give the encryption keys to his hard drive.
I don't follow every hiccup or fart that comes out of the USA, some of the above is old and I'm not sure it still applies, it's just stuff from memory??

Don't pretend everything is just rosy in the USA land of the "free".
In case you haven't noticed because you are smack bang in the middle of nutjob land, America is fast losing it's "land of the free" image around the world.
Assange, Snowden, Manning, the poor confused fuckers who "stormed" the capitol building that are being hunted down like dogs.
The censorship of your media. Trump was a twit, but he sure did highlight the blatant bias in your news reporting and tech giants.
Your two party "democracy", even Iran has more political parties to vote for.
The most people in prison anywhere in the world, including China.
The corruption (sorry, you call it "lobbying")
The racism.

I used to want to visit and travel from coast to coast - a long road trip on Route 66 and see America, until a friend said he'd done it with his father.
Don't bother, they paved over it, it no longer exists, it's just one long ass highway now filled with trucks, all the towns along the way are empty ghost towns.
Oh well. Scratch that off the bucket list.
The USA is now right next to Australia on my list of places I don't want to go to.

Shit, that is very interesting, thanks.

Yeah, that's why it's called a democracy.
Or does democracy only work for you when your side wins?
Dehumanizing the people who vote against your political party does not mean they do not get to vote.
Your whole country is built on equal rights and you are trying to remove the rights of people who don't have a high enough IQ.
What's next, "they should stay in the fields and pick cotton, WE are their superiors."
Idiot.

What if the shoe was on the other foot and they said "Intellectuals have their noses stuck in dusty books and don't understand the real world, they shouldn't be allowed to vote".
It's a democracy, if you don't like it, you are free to leave.
I'll help you pack.

Because now when I fly to China/Russia/USA I have to go through my laptop and make sure I don't accidentally have any political software on it.
If you have an issue with some political issue use the mailing list, don't embed it in the software.

MS are not picking a side, they are complying to a request made by the Chinese government.

Are they going to remove google as well. They are also censoring stuffs, or is it only about censoring stuff the author cares about?
Now riddle me this, if I installed Notepad++ unaware of it's authors political bent and went to China would I get into trouble for having banned software?
All because some wanker couldn't keep his political opinions out of FOSS software.

Make a sign and go stand on a corner like everyone else.

Great, all we need is more rich assholes using massive amounts of fuel to travel to someones birthday party.

Mussolini is famously misquoted to having said "Make the trains run on time".
He needed to make an important meeting at parliament, what he said was "Make my bloody train run on time, or I will rip out your guts and kill your family".
Suffice to say, his train ran on time. The rest of the time the trains were a shambles.
But hey, don't take my word for it.
