The breakthrough was the ability to do like 3rd grade math. Being able to reason is a big step to researchers but it’s still very much in the research phase.
Comment on OpenAI wants to raise 5-7 trillion dollars. Yes, Trillion

They’re bullshit. Any breakthrough in General AI world be news everywhere forever.

Would it? There is a lot of technology out there that we aren’t too aware of.
Some examples from the past: The internet was a military tool that was in use in the 1960’s.
Siri was originally a military project. The version originally launched in 2015 was deployed in the US military as early as 2007. I’m not saying siri is a powerful tool, but for what it was in 2015, it started the Ai helper crap we have today.
Little boy and Fat Man - Ended ww2. Very secret.
Powerful tools are hidden. General AI would be the most powerful tool ever built. There would be no confirmation it exists until it’s been fully deployed under our noses.

Aside from the fact that OpenAI and Microsoft leak like a sieve, the scramble for investors would publicize the development, and also the fact that Altman is a braggadocious idiot who need everyone to think he’s smart or he’ll collapse in on himself. The world would know, there isn’t an argument to the contrary that holds any water given the scale of the breakthrough general AI would be and the actors involved here.
