> Now, in AI, usually getting a proof of concept is the easy part. Developing that into an idea that actually works in real world situations is usually the hardest part.

I disagree. Of course there is a lot of engineering involved and it's also very important but it's much easier to rebuild things based on published research than develop novel ideas.

Tbh people who majored in CS are supposed to know that it was proven long ago that better than O(N log N) sorting (in general case) is impossible.

I have been using GPT-4 from release day. I haven't noticed performance degradation at all. YMMV.
