Yup, I remember reading your comment and that making the most sense to me.

OpenAI just shifted their training targets, initially they thought Chess was cool, maybe tomorrow they think Go is cool, or maybe the ability to write poetry. Who knows.

But it seems like the simplest explanation and makes the most sense.

At current sizes, these things are like humans. They gotta specialize.

Maybe that'll be enough moat to save us from AGI.
