I seriously don’t understand how deepmind keeps publishing stuff like this a few times a week. 2023 will be utterly insane.

If I had to guess (not reliable here), it's that DeepMind is in a relatively different financial incentive situation compared to various other companies. Google AI, Tesla AI, Microsoft, etc, they have products to sell, stocks to consider. DeepMind kind of sort of has that with their WaveNet system being integrated into text to speech products, but it's very much a side concern. I'd say they're much more focused on just researching.

DeepMind in particular also don't seem to be following the usual 6 to 9-month incubation and review process for their papers.

The Sparrow paper was published on the 20/Sep/2022, and includes a sample conversation from 9/Sep/2022.

That's an 11-day turnaround (or 7-business-day turnaround) between research and publication!
