I put it like that because of Brubeck's own words on the matter. You're acting like we've gotten email receipts here. I'm not really interested in going over a he-said she-said about strangers.

1. I would agree if the rumours were that some mathematician(s) had solved them, but the rumors alleged it was Anthropic. I don't really see what the big deal was. They had a new model that was going along great and wanted to test its

Because it is. From OpenAI 9.2.1 CoT Controllability We find that GPT-6 Astra’s CoT controllability is substantially higher than that of GPT-5.6 Sol and GPT-5.5 Thinking (Figure 28)....For example, among CoTs between 750 and 1,250 tokens lo

There's latent space thinking inside the model and then there's the thinking chain of thought words you see the model output. Of course the former is still happening even when you say 'don't think about it' but the

It can lead to hidden reasoning, if the looping allows it to stuff enough information outside visible CoT. Open AI demostrates such an ability by asking it to solve problems while thinking about something else entirely. All the other models

Yes they know the timelines, which they've explained. No they don't know exactly what they train on. Even I don't, and my little experiments are nowhere near OpenAI scale. This is par the course for ML. Plus it would kind of

Okay. I was just confused.

The rumors were that Anthropic had solved Navier Stokes and was sitting in it to maximize IPO hype. It was all over twitter. In the first place the intent was never to scope mathematicians, but their closest rival. The proof turned out to b

They don't need to collect the monetary prize to announce the result and use it for marketing. On the other hand, trying to collect the prize would probably not go uncontested.

What would be so hard to explain? That OpenAI heard about the result and decided to throw a lot of money at it knowing it was within reach ? That the model took an approach that was published years ago ?

Do you not have reading comprehension? Did you even read the statement? He himself asserts at the end he doesn't know if the above example is true or not. What on earth are you going on about? Where in my comment am I assuming he'

The results being true, the 'deal' that was made being true doesn't mean some of the implied accusations here are true, for example - that Open AI used their Codex logs to drive their breakthrough.

Every definiton of AGI is arbitrary lol. Show me the definition everyone agrees on. At least they have one that is useful.

Your comment is stupid to be honest. What are you making fun of if your example doesn't meet the 2 criteria the phrase outlines?

by famouswaffles 1mo ago
The mechanism is irrelevant if the results are similar. No, it doesn't have to be implemented the same way as a human to qualify as a human-level intelligence. That would be silly.

>If ability to learn is limited to one modality, such as language, then that indicates a lack of generality. A good test for whether an AI system is in the same ballpark as a human in learning ability, aka intelligence, would be whether
