The video John shared is worth watching. This is significant. It is now solving complex math problems which requires a long sequence of steps.
Over-fitting is less of an issue here because it's trivial to write a sentence that's never before been written by any human in history. You can tweak the parameters of the problem to guarantee it's a problem it has never before been seen, and it can still solve it. You can choose to wait for the academic write ups to come out a few months down the line but by then things will have advanced another few levels from where we are today. I think it's worth paying attention to the latest results, even if it means having to watch some YouTube videos.
