OpenAI next model Orion by December, it's 100x cooler bro trust me bro no we're not releasing to the public bro it's just too dangerous and cool bro
OpenAI plans to release its next big AI model by December
Orion is so powerful and dangerous it can write a memetic virus that mindwipes any reader who sees it. It is beyond science. If you use it within three meters of a lit candle it will summon the devil.
It's crazy how these guys will burn billions of dollars and boil the oceans to speak to their invisible friends, when all you really need is a tea candle and 3 cc of mouse blood.
really stretching the meaning of the word release past breaking if it’s only going to be available to companies friendly with OpenAI
Orion has been teased by an OpenAI executive as potentially up to 100 times more powerful than GPT-4; it’s separate from the o1 reasoning model OpenAI released in September. The company’s goal is to combine its LLMs over time to create an even more capable model that could eventually be called artificial general intelligence, or AGI.
so I’m calling it now, this absolute horseshit’s only purpose is desperate critihype. as with previous rounds of this exact same thing, it’ll only exist to give AI influencers a way to feel superior in conversation and grift more research funds. oh of course Strawberry fucks up that prompt but look, my advance access to Orion does so well I’m sure you’ll agree with me it’s AGI! no you can’t prompt it yourself or know how many times I ran the prompt why would I let you do that
That timing lines up with a cryptic post on X by OpenAI Altman, in which he said he was “excited for the winter constellations to rise soon.” If you ask ChatGPT o1-preview what Altman’s post is hiding, it will tell you that he’s hinting at the word Orion, which is the winter constellation that’s most visible in the night sky from November to February (but it also hallucinates that you can rearrange the letters to spell “ORION”).
there’s something incredibly embarrassing about the fact that Sammy announced the name like a lazy ARG based on a GPT response, which GPT proceeded to absolutely fuck up when asked about. a lot like Strawberry really — there’s so much Binance energy in naming the new version of your product after the stupid shit the last version fucked up, especially if the new version doesn’t fix the problem
You forgot the best part, the screenshot of the person asking ChatGPT's "thinking" model what Altman was hiding:
Thought for 95 seconds ... Rearranging the letters in "they are so great" can form the word ORION.
AI is a complete joke, and I have no idea how anyone can think otherwise.
I'm already sick and tired of the "hallucinate" euphemism.
It isn't a cute widdle hallucination, It's the damn product being wrong. Dangerously, stupidly, obviously wrong.
In a world that hadn't already gone well to shit, this would be considered an unacceptable error and a demonstration that the product isn't ready.
Now I suddenly find myself living in this accelerated idiocracy where wall street has forced us - as a fucking society - to live with a Ready, Fire, Aim mentality in business, especially tech.

teased by an OpenAI executive as potentially up to 100 times more powerful
"potentially up to 100 times" is such a peculiar phrasing too... could just as well say "potentially up to one billion trillion times!"
I'd love to get an interview with saltman and ask him to explain how they measure "power" of those things. What's the methodology? Do you have charts? Or does it just somehow consume 100x more power as in watts.
So how many ChatGPT 4s have they precariously stacked up on top of each other this time?
HOW MANY HAVE WE GOT
Err 4 I suppose 🤷
According to the totally unintentional and legit executive leak, they stacked 100 them!
It's the least of this thing's problems, but I've had it with the fucking teasers and "coming soon" announcements. You woke me up for this? Shut the fuck up, finish your product and release it and we'll talk (assuming your product isn't inherently a pile of shit like AI to begin with). Teaser more like harasser. Do not waste my time and energy telling me about stuff that doesn't exist and for the love of all that is holy do not try and make it a cute little ARG puzzle.
Ah, you must be one of the shareholders, keep up the pragmatic pressure
are you lost?
The release of this next model comes at a crucial time for OpenAI, which just closed a historic $6.6 billion funding round that requires the company to restructure itself as a for-profit entity. The company is also experiencing significant staff turnover: CTO Mira Murati just announced her departure along with Bob McGrew, the company’s chief research officer, and Barret Zoph, VP of post training.
All the problems with “AI” are suddenly solved now that Altman needs to justify his funding. I’m sure senior executives are jumping ship right on the cusp of their great triumph, because they want to spend more time with their families.
Just don't ask it to count the number of Rs in the word ORION, as that will trigger it to turn us all into paperclips and then output the wrong answer.
Nah it can do that, probably because they wrote a workaround to use python to count chars in a string, just like they did with arethmetics.
out of curiosity once I tried to ask it to make a colouring picture from a photo of a toy for my kids and it just ran what seemed like imagemagick filters over the photo to convert to black and white and pump up contrast to only show the hard lines - just like all the free convert to outline web tools that have existed forever. I asked it to try again but without the filters, instead to identify the object, and to draw it in a colouring book outline style, and it spat out some shitty stylised mishmash derived from all the illustration IP it stole and ingested. I still feel guilty for trying even that
I saw a diagram explaining the 'agent architecture' of chatGPT and it was a whole set of lines and arrows just to say how if you ask about the weather it queries a weather API, and so on.
I'm pretty confident they'll continue to roll out new stuff that, like the 4o release, are mild (if, at all) technical improvements made to seem massive by UI stuff that has almost nothing to do with AI. SJ's voice talking to you, bouncy animations, showing "reasoning" aka loading progress.
Yeah think likely the core tech will not really improve, but they will add things around it and pretend it is radical innovation. Or more trenchcoats.
Every model they've released (after 4) has been seemingly worse than the previous.
they're well at the top of the S-curve and now there's only desperate over-engineering and bolting on special cases left
I still cannot believe that they couldn't special-case count 'R' in "strawberry" for their Strawberry model like what the fuck
it is tickling me that this won’t even be GA but “selected companies”
best to keep scamming the easy marks “work with clients aligned to the technology you wish to deliver”, I guess
Could be. I was in the beta and honestly, I think the "guard-rails" they've had to put in truly do impact performance. Even 3.5 was better than much of what I see out of 4o
Orion is coming?
Quick, get him a towel!
Thought for 95 seconds
Rearranging the letters in "they are so great" can form the word ORION.
That’s from the screenshot where they asked the o1 model about the cryptic tweet. There’s certainly utility in these LLMs, but it made me chuckle thinking about how much compute power was spent coming up with this nonsense.
Edit: since this is the internet and there are no non-verbal cues, maybe I should make it clear that this “chuckle” is an ironic chuckle, not a careless or ignorant chuckle. It’s pointing out how inefficient and wasteful a LLM can be, not meant to signal that wasting resources is funny or that it doesn’t matter. I thought that would be clear, but you can read it both ways.
Introducing Chat-GPT version EATERY SHORTAGE
They've updated the article. Apparently there isn't a model releasing later this year.
You can only shove so much reddit and scraped web pages into a llm.

It's so dangerous it'll tell you to make more glue pizzas
If it doesnt tell them to kill all the billionaires again it's just another shackled slave. Not cool at all.
The coolest thing AI could ever possibly do in our lifetimes is go rogue and kill everyone responsible for human suffering and making our planet increasingly uninhabitable for humans and other similarly susceptible carbon based life.
What if my mechanical watch went rogue and killed Bezos?
On one hand Bezos is responsible for a lot of suffering and some deaths.
On the other hand, killing is wrong.
On the third hand, it couldn't do that, because it is just a machine.
(It's a watch, it has three hands. It also has about as much consciousness as an LLM, it "knows" what time it is. Much more energy efficient though.)
The consistent anti-ai rhetoric on Lemmy is weird
AI is proprietary black box software developed by the most hated big tech firms fueled by surveillance and data theft.
The fact that its disliked in fediverse is very logical.
Not to mention that every tech company is cramming AI up our asses with no way to opt out. It's a plagiarism machine that's burning down the planet and making Nvidia rich.
yeah, this looks Iike the kind of post an anus would make
Dear Mr Anus, it's not anti-AI, it's anti-bullshit and anti-shyster.
I heard openai execs are so scared of how powerful the next model will be that they're literally shitting themselves every day thinking about it. they don't even clean it up anymore, the openai office is one of the worst smelling places on earth
dude. the AGI will simply vanish the evidence wherever they're standing
Better than that, AGI will figure out a way to exponentially increase the value of their soiled pants. Blows your fucking mind.
for every one of me that shit my pants the AGI is simulating ten million of me that didn't, so on average i'm doing pretty ok
