Just an observation based on some people complaining that this isn't some significant advance over GPT-4 (even if it happens to actually be a small percentage gain over GPT-4 and not just gaming some benchmarks).

One thing I consider isn't just what the world will be like once we have a better GPT-4. I consider what the world will be like when we have 1 million GPT-4s. Right now how many do we have? 3 or 4 (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, Pi). I think we'll have some strange unexpected effects once we have hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands and then millions of LLMs at this level of capability.

It's like the difference between vertical and horizontal scaling.
