I love the total lack of humility on that site. "What if the METR study turns out not to capture anything relevant? We just add a constant gap to be conservative!". But I guess these guys aren't really scientist, so it'

It really dispelled the illusion for me, but it's not that easy to find those examples, but the combinatorics of possible number of guesses is untractable enough that it can't learn a good set of clues for all possible guesses.

Isn't it just that he left way before gpt-5, then? At that point a sufficiently naive person could have believed that scaling was going to lead to AGI, but that sort of optimism died after he was already an outsider.

I'm guessing they have a lot of shares in the AI companies they work(ed) for, and they would like to pump their value so they can buy an even nicer carribean island than they can already afford?

I enjoyed playing mastermind with LLMs where they pick the code and I have to guess it. It's not aware that it doesn't know what the code is (it isn't in the context because it's supposed to be secret), but it just keeps

The guy founded two AI companies and exited one, is a researcher who is an expert on how actual human babies learns things and who has done research comparing how LLMs learn and represent language compared to humans. How much more expertise

I rushed so much that I didn't have time to do it right. It could have been the AST tree of my PIN number validation algorithm for ATM machines. :-P

Can it store my PIN numbers and my map of ATM machines also?

What's your argument here? He's not allowed to discuss crony capitalism because you imagine that he thinks LLMs suddenly became reliable.

From your link: "We excluded reasoning models from our analysis of per-token prices. Reasoning models tend to generate a much larger number of tokens than other models, making these models cost more in total to evaluate on a benchmark.

Is that the cost per token or the actual cost of the user having a conversation, reasoning and all?

Absolutely, the belief in scientific circles is that the way forward to develop cures (or at least treatment that slows down the progression) is to treat it early. When you get to the point where you start showing clear symptoms, your brain

What I really want is to be able to search through the training dataset to see the n closest hits (cosine distance or something). I think the illusion would very quickly be dispelled that way.

Yeah, the interpolation works if there are enough close examples around it. Problem is that the dimensionality of the space you are trying to interpolate in is so incomprehensibly big that even training on all of the internet, you are alway

Isn't a mathematician arguing that Galileo was a bad scientist because he wasn't as good at deriving the area under some function as Archimedes, a bit like a fish arguing that Galileo was a bad scientist because he couldn't s
