If you gave me a model released two years ago and today and let me do some programming with both, I would have no problems telling you which one was released two years ago; progress on this front is very noticeable. But if you let me chat with each one for an hour, I'm honestly not sure I would be able to tell the difference.


You could definitely tell the difference. The persistence and context windows make a world of difference in just casual usage.


Also the massive inflation in sycophancy.


So 2 years of progress is enough to form a trend-line? Do you remember life during the time when AI at this level didn’t exist?

Follow the 10 year trend-line. That’s the thing that points to the future.

But either way there’s progress on both fronts. Talking to it has improved we just can’t measure it quantitatively imo.


Can’t draw any line without being aware of underlying technicality of AI, how it works? What previous research enabled LLMs? etc.


Research into machine learning, transformers, there's tons of technicalities that enables LLMs. ANd there's more and more "technicalities" being thrown on top of LLMs and we're having modifications to LLMs as well.

LLMs are the tip of a spear of a trendline that didn't involve LLMs. Prior to that we had AI generating art and music through diffusion algorithms. We had AI doing image recognition and doing mind reading. The trendline is clear to anyone but those who think the current state of LLMs and the problems we have with it are completely static in nature.

You can use this add-on to fix it (Yes, I'm author of it)

I cannot even begin to express how great this looks. I hit that again and again and .. it's a papercut, but so damn annoying. Thank you. Very much appreciated.

(Now, is there an addon to fix the tablet UI back to 'simple'?)


Thanks for fixing my only niggle with Android Firefox!
