Feel free not to, I guess. But again, that wasn't the point of my comment. You mistook bleistift2's statement in the opposite way it was intended. ChatGPT's not intended as a replacement for a search engine so evaluating it on that basis is misleading.
Sora's capabilities aren't really relevant to the competition if OpenAI isn't allowing it to be used, though. All it does is let the actual competitors know what's possible if they try, which can make it easier to get investment.
Writing code to do math is different from actually doing the math. I can easily write "x = 8982.2 / 98984", but ask me what value x actually has and I'll need to do a lot more work and quite probably get it wrong.
This is why one of the common improvements for LLM execution frameworks these days is to give them access to external tools. Essentially, give it access to a calculator.
It's not exactly training, but Google just recently previewed a LLM with a million-token context that can do effectively the same thing. One of the tests they did was to put a dictionary for a very obscure language (only 200 speakers worldwide) into the context, knowing that nothing about that language was in its original training data, and the LLM was able to translate it fluently.
OpenAI has already said they’re not making that publicly available for now
This just means that OpenAI is voluntarily ceding the field to more ambitious companies.
I actually was on the job market just a few months back for the first time in 15 years. Those sorts of comedy postings are not common. It's true that often the position doesn't require as much experience as the "dream candidate" they're asking for in the job posting, but A) they're aware of that, and B) they take that into account when screening resumes. Lying on your resume is not required, it's only going to waste everyone's time if you do.
Or rather, they can't do the work without the risk of Reddit raising a legal fuss that would cost them more than $60 million. The data itself can already be downloaded for free from various places.
OP said "Of course I don’t make it past 1 or 2 interviews in such cases." So it seems pretty straightforward that he wasn't qualified, as in he wasn't going to succeed in those roles.
