What should I research? IQ follows normal distribution across entire population. I guess if you'd built your heterogenous population out of mental patients and university professors together you'd get bimodal distribution, but suc

How does it compare to Alaska? Wasn't it purchased as a colony from russians to exploit Alaskan gold with complete disreagrd for opinion of the native population?

If you calculate this properly, a Mensa member has about a cointoss chance to be the "smartest" among random group of 35 people (not 50). Given that they are probably rarely in groups of purely random people, if you are Mensa memb

It's splitting hairs. It's still a next token predictor, just not solely prior art next token predictor. It's a more and more of a desired result next token predictor. Calling LLMs next token predictors is like calling a brai

It's not about not fitting in context window. LLMs also can "forget" the things from their early context window that they do not restate later. It's also a form of decluttering. You can't (and shouldn't) rememb

To prove consciousness you'd have to first define it and nobody came up with anything solid. Subjective expirience doesn't have a great definition either. For me the consciousness is ability to do single-threaded intelligent infor

I agree. They won't be, because consciousness is not the pinnacle but basically the level 0 of intelligent thinking that LLMs surpassed very early without us even noticing and now they'd have to cripple themselves very severely to

What I'd like to see is "brain"-machine interface for LLMs that plugs things like calculator and other modules, directly into the neural network instead of accessing them through in-context tool calls.

How good are LLMs at doing Mensa tests?

by scotty79 1mo ago
We are basically random. 2% of population by top IQ test result has pretty much very similar distribution in all aspects to 100% of the population. It's not a high bar to be fastest processing one among 50 people.

IQ strongly correlates with many real world outcomes that people tend to associate with being more "intellectual". IQ has precise definition. It's what the tests measure. Intellect has only fuzzy handwavey definition. Correla

By looking at interactions of people in Mensa I feel like 2% of top IQ is actually too low bar to notice anything particular about "high" IQ people. We are still pretty random in our interests and performance.

Thank you very much for this first hand info. One might argue that chances of theoretical particle existing and showing up are at least as negligible.

Is the fact that everybody almost catches up with the frontier a sign that we are entering a new region of sigmoid curve?
