We’ll see, but I doubt its because of the election; as another commenter said companies can’t afford to lose that much money by waiting around for months for the right “moment” to release a product. GPT-4o is good, I’ll grant you that, but its fundenmentally the same tech as GPT3.5 and the fundenmental problem, “hallucination,” is not solved, even if there are more capabilities. No matter what, for anything
besides code that may or may not be any good, someone has to go through and read the response and make sure its all tight so they don’t fuck up or embarass themselves (and even then, using AI for coding will introduce long term problems since you’ll have to go back through it for debugging anyway). We all, within a month of ChatGPT getting introduced, caught it in a contradiction or just plain error about some topic of specialist knowledge, and realized that its level of expertise on all topics was at that same level. Sam Altman royallly fucked up when he started believing his own bullshit, thinking AGI was on the horizon and all we needed was to waste more resources on compute time and datacenters.
Its done, you can’t make another LLM, all knowledge from here on out is corrupted by them, you can never deliver an epistemic “update.” GPT will become a relic of the 21st century, like a magazine from the 1950s.
