What Jamie wrote
Steve Blank has been around innovation in Silicon Valley since 1978 and has seen a lot. His reflections on ChatGPT-4 and the coming wave of AI innovation are worth reading.
This year with the introduction of ChatGPT-4 we may have seen the invention of something with the equivalent impact on society of explosives, mass communication, computers, recombinant DNA/CRISPR and nuclear weapons – all rolled into one application.
That is a big statement.
In addition to its outstanding performance on what it was designed to do, what has surprised researchers about ChatGPT is its emergent behaviors. That’s a fancy term that means “we didn’t build it to do that and have no idea how it knows how to do that.” These are behaviors that weren’t present in the small AI models that came before but are now appearing in large models like GPT-4.
We don't totally know what all is happening here, and where it will be in just a few months. Hold on! 🚀
