Can you say more about what particular applications you had in mind?
Stuff like personal assistants who write emails / do simple shopping, coding assistants that people are more excited about than they seem to be about Codex, etc.
(Like I said in the main post, I’m not totally sure what PONR refers to, but don’t think I agree that the first lucrative application marks a PONR—seems like there are a bunch of things you can do after that point, including but not limited to alignment research.)

Well, the first killer app is biology and protein folding.
