"Here's the choice you have when you are faced with something new. You can take this technological advance and decide "This is a better way of doing the stuff I'm doing now and I can use this to continue on the path that I'm going", so that's staying in the pink plane , or you can say "This is not a better old thing, this is almost a new thing and I wonder what that new thing is trying to be" and if you do that there's a chance of actually perhaps gaining some incredible leverage over simply optimizing something that can't be optimized very much. - Kay

Current LLMs will change the world, but it won't be by completing pull requests quickly.

Although a "stargate level" LLM could accelerate pink plane traversal so much that you don't even need to find the correct usecase. LLM scaling will be the computer graphics scaling of this generation. In terms of intelligence gpt4 based o3 is but a postage stamp. As LLMs scale a picture of intelligence will emerge.
