The problem is that people are often delusional and AI feeds these delusions. You have to switch to objective measures to gain skill and taste. This is true for art (ask: Where is the focal point) instead of "is this good or necessary&

This is entirely a problem of AI sycophancy. You would expect a system that has expert level knowledge in so many domains to be overly cynical and straight up tell you that "No, there is no market for a language learning app, Duolingo

ARC 2 was made specifically to artificially lower contemporary LLM scores, therefore any kind of model improvements will have outsized effects Also people use "saturated" too liberally. The top left corner 1 cent per task is satur

We don't need real world benchmarks, if they were good for real world tasks people would use them We need scientific benchmarks that tease out the nature of intelligence. There are plenty of unsaturated benchmarks. Solving chess using

Makes sense. Amazon is making VERY bad investments just to pump Bezos' personal investments in related industries

Coz the paper gives a function for extrapolating from these tests. This is purely testing thermal decay. 10,000 years sounds like a good benchmark and isn't as obviously ridiculous as saying a million years at 260°C

No, the moat is having a seemingly good "scalable" idea that solves a problem a few people have and most people think they have. Then getting bought out. The zip2s and OpenClaws of the world

Of course AI is bullshit. If you couldn't just use it yourself and figure that out then ask yourself why people like Bezos or Altman are perfectly happy "investing" other people's money but not their own. If they actuall

Oh please, why equate IT BS with cancer? If the null pointer was a billion dollar mistake, then C was a trillion dollar invention. At this scale of investment countries will have no problem cheapening the value of human life. It's part

I think there is lots of value in a model that mimics your behavior. So your partner or anyone can message "you" at any time of the day. work, sleep, socialize you can only do 2. With the help of AI you could talk to people as muc

Presumably if one uses a styled "language-learning app" and are shown testimonals saying something like "I used X and learned language Y" then they are using the app with the goal of learning the language. Also the poste

Hi "Tim", are you aware that this is fraud? That this app doesn't help anyone? How do you prevent gullible users from wasting their time and money on the app rather than learning languages? From your testimonial that you lear

What happens if oil companies can't make money? They will restructure society so they can. That's the essence of capitalism, the willingness to restructure society to chase growth. Obviously this tech is profitable in some world.

I think you are making that confusion. Any robotic system in the place of his parents would fail with a few hours. There are more novel tasks in a day than ARC provides.

This is just petty tribalism. How is this different than Red Hat devs using macbooks or whatever. Reasonable people can recognize the right tool for the job. If the productivity didn't grow it would be a bad idea to organize society ar

The agent isn't trying to close the ticket. It's predicting the next token and randomly generated an artifact that looks like a hit piece. Computer programs don't "try" to do anything.

IMO it's antisocial behavior on the project for dictating how people are allowed to interact with it. Sure GNU is in the rights to only accept email patches to closed maintainers. The end result -- people using AI will gatekeep you ri
