secret sauce to it.
Exactly.
Apart from just throw a lot of compute
Exactly, exactly.
But like those are things that tend to like
Yeah, exactly.
And from yeah, from an academic point of view, it's like, oh, like why am I sitting in school like like yeah, I think I think for a lot of people who do PhDs, they're kind of wired in a way they're they want to like think about interesting new stuff.
And yeah, like the you know the the scaling era kind of like, you know, probably suck to that.
um well I I think I've just been like patient to that from um Alice Skeeper's interview.
I don't think it's over, but there's definitely something interesting happening right.
Like the the thing I was saying about like IOI and IMO.
Um
I think we'll still continue more or less on the same track.
Like clearly, you know, like uh these labs are like releasing their new pre trained models and they're like still doing like like much better than before.
So I think um
I think scaling is still happening, but um
I think it's happening in a different
Way or you know, it's like worth like seriously interrogating why is it that we're not just like automating all jobs right now?
Um I think my view of it is something like RL, the way it's applied to LMs right now, is kind of a weird, funny tool where it doesn't really generalize beyond the training distribution that much.
Um it generalizes to some extent and it generalizes in interesting ways, but it's like very peaky, right?
