@gleech i think you're being too picky :p it's reasonable to say translation from perplexity/whatever to capabilities is exponential, and inputs to perplexity exponential, so scaling laws imply exponential gains, even if technically there's unstated translation step

@DimitrisPapail oh wait I'm a dumdum; it does increase exponentially (ɢɪᴠᴇɴ ᴅᴏᴜʙʟʏ-ᴇxᴘᴏɴᴇɴᴛɪᴀʟ ɪɴᴘᴜᴛs)

Given the target audience I'm sure it's mostly intended in the colloquial sense. Regardly I would not ever let this sentence out of my face into the world without saying "exponentially increasing computing power" too

@gleech Eh, What are two forgotten logs among friends

@gleech thanks i thought i was going insane
