Math problems with GPT-4o [video]
- jimhefferon 3y agoMath teacher here. Gulp. :-) Seriously, though, its impressive.
- sethammons 3y agoI don't see this as Gulp, but tier 1 support. Imagine a whole classroom where small groups are self paced (and shuffled as needed) where each table gets a decent AI that can basically help them while a "master teacher" gives the more direct support that they observe being needed over at table 4, who are 3 chapters ahead of most everyone else, or some extra time can be spent with table 6 who are still struggling to progress in chapter 2

- jimhefferon 3y agoSure, this week. What about next week?
- a_d 3y agoI have been working on a AI "tutor" for kids (6-10) based on the constraints of - no websites, no apps, no ipad/iphone. But after this demo, I need to rethink my entire approach! Maybe these ideas I am holding on to, are just not relevant. (For those interested in my current approach: https://robodonkey.com/ https://robodonkey.com/)
- fzzzy 3y agoThis thing is still really cool, good job.
- zamadatix 3y agoJust a heads up you have to scroll past two "order now" buttons linking to stripe before reaching the one with the message it's for early adopters only.
- kristofferR 3y agoPage is dead, Stripe just says "The link is no longer active."
- andai 3y agoThirty dollars?!
- andai 3y agoI mean the only thing missing relative to GPT4o's featureset is a mic and speaker. (And maybe a stylus pen?) Or did you have bigger changes in mind?

- unclebucknasty 3y agoIs there anyone else here who watches this and thinks that the teaching-a-human part is just an inefficient and unnecessary middle step? It gave me the feeling of dragging people along for no real reason and just waiting for them to catch up. I mean, if the AI already knows all of this, and anyone can ask it, then what's the value of people learning it? I get that this is a fear with AI in general (obsoleting humans). But watching this really crystallizes it somehow.
- jimbokun 3y agoI had the same thought. Sam Altman's intro for GPT-4o was selling all the ways it could help people accomplish tasks. But I could only think, why not just have the AI do the tasks on its own?
- unclebucknasty 3y agoExactly. And, I can't help but wonder if there's some sleight of hand here. I mean, to say AI will merely assist is kind of an ideal way to allay concerns that humans will lose relevance. Delay the panic until it's absolutely obvious where we are. Someone mentioned that Altman's interviews involve him talking a good bit without providing a lot of useful info. Makes sense when you consider that his role is something of a politician. Anyway, for now, the assist idea is somewhat plausible, but with each new version it's less so. I think that's what it is about this video: when you watch someone being taught by AI, it flips the "assist" part on its head. Doesn't make a lot of sense that the AI has to patiently teach people to get them to a place where it can then "assist" them.
- slowmovintarget 3y agoIt has no will, nor drive, nor intent. It is a tool that must be supplied these things first.
- andai 3y agoBut that's a mere engineering problem, not a hard physical constraint.
- educaysean 3y agoRemote technical interviews are over. Have GPT4o running on the background and have it type out the answers as your interviewer reads aloud the questions. Share your screen and let it find the bugs for you in real time. Never get any facts wrong as you smugly correct your interviewer about the minute details of an obscure AWS Route 53 API.
- madarco 3y agooh god, of all the amazing problems to solve with this wonderful technology, you surely did pick the most useless. What's this obsession with interviews on HN? Hired a bunch of people in my career and 1 call was enough with a success ration of 98%
- klipklop 3y agoPeople obsess about interviews because they need to do well to get a job to make money so they won't live on the streets. The whole interview process is a total mess these days. Already filled with ML stuff to reject your application before you even get a chance at an in-person interivew. People already use AI to punch of their resumes to make themselves look more attractive. Doing great in a FAANG interview is life changing money for people from the lower and lower-middle classes. It can bring up your entire family. The stakes are high, which means people will use every tool to have an advantage. The interview arms race just got more crazy!
- educaysean 3y agoCongratulations on your success ratio. If you don't mind me asking, however, what constitutes a "success" in your eyes? I also interviewed and hired / rejected many applicants through my career, but I don't know if we ever discussed our successes as a single quantitative metric. I'm interested to find out what you measured. I "picked out" this problem to discuss here because I find the process of "approximating someone else's skills" an interesting endeavor without a clear solution. Do you think the current remote interviewing techniques are effective? Regardless of your answer, it looks like it's going to change dramatically. I find that to be interesting I guess :)
