"GPT-4 has the raw smarts to do a decent chunk of many people’s jobs, but it’s sort of like a smart new hire that just showed up 5 minutes ago: it doesn’t have any relevant context, hasn’t read the company docs or Slack history or had conversations with members of the team, or spent any time understanding the company-internal codebase.

It seems like it should be possible, for example via very-long-context, to ‘onboard’ models like we would a new human coworker. This alone would be a huge unlock."
