Whenever I see 'best model,' 'most advanced model,' etc, it just reads to me as 'roundest ball'. The new model is the most precisely round ball ever, models next year are going to be even rounder, etc.
The difference in utility between the latest, most round ball and last year's frontier balls (which are now freely available to the public) is pretty debatable, imo.
- vanviegen 14d agoMaking balls ever rounder clearly has diminishing returns, as there's a limit to roundness. Is there a similar limit to intelligence though?
- Applejinx 14d agoYes, absolutely. Even human intelligence stops being useful at a certain point and becomes 'enough, provided the human is motivated and tenacious'. Intention is a better metric, but it's a serious AI weak point if not actively an achilles' heel. 'Warios' come to mind.
- vanviegen 13d agoIntelligence in humans probably stops being useful for the individual at some level, indeed. But that might be due to being in an environment that's unable to feed that intelligence and execute on the ideas in generates.

- fittingopposite 13d agoInteresting. Any evidence that intelligence stops being useful? Why do you believe this is this a bounded resource.
