guy selling stuff, says his stuff is the best stuff.

more news at eleven.

"GPT-5 is the first time that it really feels like talking to an expert in any topic, like a PhD-level expert."

Yeah, feels like. Not actually examples of thinking and doing things at that level.

"These systems, as impressive as they are, haven't been able to be really profitable," ... "There is a fear that we need to keep up the hype, or else the bubble might burst, and so it might be that it's mostly marketing."

That's the painful truth. No profit, a lot of hype and a market in a 2008 financial crisis bubble.

PhD Level expertise:

Salesman gonna sell.

Altman is quite good at it actually. Remember when he was saying how scared he was of his own AI. Or calling for increased regulation because their models are just sooo good that government has to nerf them.

I know too many PhD's for that to impress me

No matter what they say LLMs are not intelligent. AI is a a scam. It’s predictive algorithms on an incredible scale which in the right applications can be really amazing tools but this promise of agi, sentience and the claims of thoughts, feelings, emotions, hallucinations and yes intelligence… absolutely just a scam.

You can tell this is marketing fluff, because GPT could already provide "PhD-level expertise" - just in a hit-and-miss fashion that you couldn't rely upon without some other form of verification. So how is this different?

At carbon footprint levels approaching the US military coming soon!

They have stolen more PhD level work to dump into the training model?

Part of what makes these models so dangerous is that as they become more "powerful" or "accurate", it becomes more and more difficult for people to determine where the remaining inaccuracies lie. Anything using them as a source are then more at risk of propagating those inaccuracies which the model may feed on further down the line, reinforcing them.

Nevermind the fact that 100% is just statistically impossible, and they've clearly hit the point of diminishing returns some time ago so every 0.1% comes at increased cost and power. And, you know, any underlying biases.

Just ridiculously unethical and dangerous.

Geriatric senile PhD on too many painkillers whose area of expertise was a pseudoscience like phrenology before it was rejected, maybe.

Ph.Deez nutz.

I have friends who actually have a Ph.D. It takes many years to get one and an attempt to actually better a field. People tend to trust your opinion on a subject when you have a doctorate in that field.

I can't even trust ChatGPT to answer a basic question without fucking up and apologizing to me, only to fuck up again.

Maybe stop treating language models like AGI? They're awesome at recognizing semantic similarities between words and phrases (embeddings) as well as generating arbitrary but reasonable looking output that matches an expected output (structured outputs). That's cool enough. Stop pretending like it isn't and falsely advertising it as being able to cure cancer and world hunger, especially when you wouldn't even be happy if it did.

If I asked a PhD, "How many Bs are there in the word 'blueberry'?" They'd call an ambulance for my obvious, severe concussion. They wouldn't answer, "There are three Bs in the word blueberry! I know, it's super tricky!"

ChatGPT in its PhD thesis defense: "Oh, I'm sorry for the misinformation, let me try this again..."

I could power a data center with the rolling of my eyes after reading this headline.

"It can now drive its users straight into an active psychosis 35% faster by sounding more persuasive than ever before!"

I had the Blueberry talk with GPT5:

🎓 PhB level checks out.
🚫 Blockchain level uselessness and waste as well.

🎈📌💥

OpenAI claims a lot of things.

Just Conmen selling their snake oil

This guy always shows up with his hands like this in news photos

I know it's irrelevant but I had to point it out

How many ChatGPhDs will it take to do the math on how long it is until this bubble pops?

Oops i ate the onion.

Right? No way thats considered a legitimate argument since a PhD just says you dedicated yourself to a very specific topic and arent necessarily smarter or better spoken for it.
Or is he just bragging he found a way to filter it to just people's PhD thesis papers that they stole?

Maybe a PhD in civil engineering lol.

Shouldn't be hard to improve over this rubbish:

is it now 15 years after 2010 ?

GPT-4 No, it is not 15 years after 2010. As of today, August 8, 2025, it is 15 years after 2010.>
