Just out of curiosity, what in the world prompted you to submit the German link to an English news site, and then casually mention the English version, versus the opposite?

If you speak German you might stumble upon the German version of the article first, and realise _after sharing_ that the English one exist.

Happened to me although my German is much worse than my English.

That is exactly what happened, I wanted to share the original article and did not see that they also have an english version (because they usually do not have one).

Also the English version was only published 1.5 hours later, so it might have been overlooked initially.

Literally couldn't figure out how to get through the German cookie dialogues even though it's an English article.

Interested to read how the "it has no idea what a dog is" camp is going to reposition when the response is "it was shown pictures of dogs." Maybe the debate will shift to needing videos of dogs, needing hands to pet dogs, or needing a nose to smell dogs.

Either way, exciting things to look forward to in the debate that keeps on giving.

I wonder if GPT-4’s release was pushed forward to ride the hype that ChatGPT/LLMs have been getting in popular media.

But then again, GPT-3 is almost three years old now, plenty of time to improve upon and train a new model.

Does this mean that MS, with their new stake in OpenAI, makes OAI release a new model, or just that they'll release a model called GPT4?

I feel like GPT* is forever connected with OAI. prove me wrong, tho.

There were rumors about the capabilities of GPT-4 before Microsoft acquired a 50% stake in OpenAI
