The Lincolnshire Poster @desiderratum.bsky.social · 09/10/2026NFTs were the purest expression of this envy, I think.

The Lincolnshire Poster @desiderratum.bsky.social · 09/10/2026A plateau WRT model-scaling, specifically. Obviously results are results, but doesn't this suggest that post-training techniques are *the* frontier, & that, if those are maxed out, there may not be any easy path forward? 100
The Lincolnshire Poster @desiderratum.bsky.social · 09/10/2026"[T]he share of compute allocated to pre-training has shrunk significantly [...] and post-training techniques [have become] a major vector for model scaling.

The Lincolnshire Poster @desiderratum.bsky.social · 09/10/2026It's not the only complaint, certainly; I just think that saying "We didn't ask for OpenAI to do this" is silly 1110
The Lincolnshire Poster @desiderratum.bsky.social · 09/10/2026The biggest issue, as I see it, is that OpenAI commands a PR leviathan, & that it is flagrantly irresponsible of them to not do due diligence on the proofs their models produce 130
