   Could there be a benefit to releasing a new model, slowly dumbing it down over a couple months, then releasing a new model that’s marginally if at all better than the original to create a perceived improvement when in reality there isn’t really one?

   For an industry that’s stagnant in progress yet relies on new frequent releases to survive (non-progress being an existential risk), this could make sense.

   I have no idea if that’s what’s happened, I completely pulled it out of my butt. And I have no idea is the actual frontier is stagnating.

      Are you really saying AI is a stagnant industry?

         You couldn’t make it through 4 whole sentences?

            Uhh, they're expressing incredulity, not a lack of reading comprehension.

            Unlike you, however...
