It implies our models are wrong. Consider that a human adolescence is ~9.46x10^6 minutes and a fast speaking rate is ~200words/minute. That sets an upper bound of 1.9 billion words heard during adolescence. ie: human adults are trained on a corpus of less than 1.9B words. To some extent, more data can offset worse models, but I don't think that's the regieme we're currently in. GPT-3 was trained (on among other languages) 181 billion English words - or about 100 times more words than a human will hear by the time they reach adulthood. How is the human brain able to achieve a higher level of success with 1% of the data? 1. https://github.com/openai/gpt-3/blob/master/dataset_statisti...

For discussion's sake: - BFN reached out to A16Z, Worldcoin, Khosla Ventures largely declined to comment, which would mean that at least one person probably had a bit of runway from at least when the requests for comment were submitted. So yeah, you're probably right. - Going from the github repos for GPT 2 and 3, those may have been hard launches: Feb 14 2019, predating the first press for GPT-2 by a few days (was probably made public Feb 14 though) - https://github.com/openai/gpt-2/commit/c2dae27c1029770cea409... May 28 2020, timed alongside the press news for GPT-3 - https://github.com/openai/gpt-3/commit/12766ba31aa6de490226e... - Would it really have to be a conspiracy? Sounds like only one person would have to target a specific date or date range, and without really giving a reason. One of the things that puts a hole in my own think

ing here is that Sam Altman's name isn't really tied to the Dall-E 2 release. It's just OpenAI, and the press around Sam's name today still exclusively surfaces just this one Worldcoin story (https://news.google.com/search?q=sam+altman+when%3A1d&). So if this was actually intended to bury another story, Sam's name would have to have been included in all the press blasts to be successful. But the Buzzfeed story seems like it kinda died alone on the vine.
