Why didn't GPT-2 arrive a decade earlier?
Original: Why didn't we get GPT-2 in 2005?
A new essay asks why transformer-style language models like GPT-2 only emerged in 2019 when key ingredients might have existed much earlier, examining what specifically held progress back. Discussion is centering on whether the delay came from missing hardware, algorithms, or simply a lack of imagination, with commenters debating which component of the stack was the true bottleneck.
Why now: The essay challenges assumptions about what limits AI progress, a topic of active debate.
