       | 
       | Why is it crucial? This project has existed for barely a month,
       | and describes itself as an experiment. Who is using this for
       | production?

         | Uhhh? Are you serious? It's used for production all over the
         | place, for a pretty reasonable definition of production.

         | GPT-4 will be the last GPT ever released.
         | 
         | Or maybe, just maybe, all variables will continue trending in a
         | positive direction _in the time it would take to build a
         | production product_. And then I wonder what point, exactly,
         | this article is trying to make.
