Based on the speed at which OpenAI is shipping new products and assuming that they use their own technology, I'm starting to get more and more convinced that their technology is a superpower.

Timeline of shipping by them (based on https://twitter.com/E0M/status/1635727471747407872?s=20):

DALL·E - July '22

ChatGPT - Nov '22

API's 66% cheaper - Aug '22

Embeddings 500x cheaper while SoTA - Dec '22

ChatGPT API. Also 10x cheaper while SoTA - March '23

Whisper API - March '23

GPT-4 - March '23

Plugins - March '23

Note that they have only a few hundred employees. To quote Fireship from YouTube: "2023 has been a crazy decade so far"
