How do you trust numbers to “quantify extremely smart people”?
Interviewers know to hire/no-hire within first 10 minutes of talking to candidates.
Similarly, the best LLMs nowadays are probed only with some prompts.
Just last time I see LLM midwit meme on quantifying best scores on all benchmarks vs idiots/geniuses who just prompt something for some while.
Do not try to put numbers on everything.
