This achievement feels like a reasonable candidate for the moment where LLMs are officially "more intelligent" than any person. How can we justify moving the goalposts yet again? How can people have grown so numb to seeing advancements that they don't read this as significant? I feel like I'm standing at the foot of the exponential. I am not excited for the future, and I don't see how humans retain meaningful control over the future if we continue on this trajectory.
I have been lurking for quite some time. I made an account to post this, but I honestly don't know what to say. I would like to get off this wild ride.
You’re struggling with nuance.
Would Einstein be successful at running apple? Nope
This seems very hard for people to understand.
It will be painful for many to realise - you should focus on doing something that positively affects the economy. Everything else is noise and many endeavours are transitory.
an AI that is at 100s of Einstein level in every intellectual field imaginable ?maybe, running apple does not require one to be very smart or intellectual
Steve jobs wasn’t Einstein in all the things he knew and understood and yet… apple became a behemoth from nothing (on the verge of bankruptcy).
So…. Yeah ‘intelligence’ isn’t simply knowing and connecting dots is it.
Moreover if running firms doesn’t require one to be very smart - and firms are what society needs for production of products and services which affect our lives - in relative terms, where’s the value add to society in creating an Einstein in a machine?
A firm full of Einstein’s Is going absolutely nowhere.
llms are good at different things than humans, we are still collectively figuring that out. the idea that an llm is more intelligent than humans at math of all things seems fairly unsurprising.
[dead]
I feel this moment is one of the last few warnings before things will get seriously out of hand. We need to stop now. Building a superintelligent AI should be considered a crime against humanity.
Stop? What would possess you say something like that right now it’s going full steam how do you not want to know where this will go?
Warning: The above poster is a misaligned AI that wants to take over the world.
Just kidding.
This said going full steam off a cliff is one of the options that has a much higher probability than I like.
