i think i actually need to dig for a broader breadth of benchmark scores. right now, taking from the model page means i get the 'best of' results. instead of tests where the model sucks - glm is bad at biology for instance.

im going to aggregate as many benchmarks from as many sources as i can

From a fun book I have “Philosophy in 40 Ideas”

Eudaimonia THIS IS AN ANCIENT GREEK WORD, normally translated as 'fulfilment', particularly emphasised by the philosopher Aristotle. It deserves wider currency because it corrects the shortfalls in one of the most central terms in our contemporary idiom: happiness. The Ancient Greeks resolutely did not believe that the purpose of life was to be happy; they proposed that it was to be fulfilled. What distinguishes happiness from fulfilment is pain. It is eminently possible to be fulfilled and, at the same time, under pressure, suffering physically or mentally, overburdened and in a tetchy mood. Many of life's most worthwhile projects will, at points, be quite at odds with contentment, but may be worth pursuing nevertheless. Henceforth, we shouldn't try to be happy; we should accept the greater realism, ambition and patience that accompanies the quest for eudaimonia.

Super interesting - I would imagine a whole industry surrounding AI Insurance will pop up to deal with the liability of giving AI tools more and more ability to act on your behalf. Imagine if Bing Chat could populate fields on the DMV website and simultaneously steal your identity. Someone is responsible for the AI facilitating that crime and thus some form of liability insurance would inevitably exist.

shower idea - i lack the technical skills and connections to actualize my dreams and ideas at present (can someone please help me with frontend).

The idea here is that you donate in favor of/against a bill you want. Then representatives that vote favorably to your preference receive a portion of the funds as campaign contributions. If lobbying is so cheap why can't it be done by the people for the people? I see dogs raise more than politicians on GFM.
