Anthropic could audit the model to find the answer. It’s telling that they won’t do this.

They do everything they can to mystify results like this, because then many are inclined to view AI as “magical”. Marketing works.

The marketing and ecosystem surrounding these tools feeds into the anthropomorphization to a huge extent, though. You’re doing the opposite - throwing up your hands and going “it’s our evolutionary instinct, what can you do” while willfully ignoring how manipulated this space is. OpenAI alone has a higher advertising budget than Coca-Cola.

The solution is to stop treating AI as superhuman semi-living entities, as many boosters are apt to do. We can acknowledge it as a useful tool while understanding it has limits and is not “alive” or “thinking” in the same way a human is.

You’re the one claiming a 10x-100x productivity boost. Does that boost not apply when it comes time to polish?

Because there’s no evidentiary reason to deny the existence of my own phenomenal experience. I appear to experience, and the simplest conclusion to draw from that appearance is that I truly do experience.

You act as a hype peddler in practically every LLM-adjacent thread. No wonder you’re taking this article so personally. Touch grass.

Yes.

Guess what? SAT solvers have also solved unsolved math problems. Do you believe they are “reasoning”?

Littered with AI writing tells.

This is already happening. R/accelerate broke away from r/singularity because the latter wasn’t zealous enough.

Way too many rationalist-adjacent cultists here who worship Yudkowsky as a prophet.

This is really only meaningful if AI imparts knowledge beyond what you could learn from a simple Google search. It’s not clear that this is the case.

This isn’t really how it works anymore. Agents rely heavily on tool use and the agentic harness to perform tasks. Pre-training is no longer very effective.

My god. It’s useful for coding… and that’s it. It’s not going to change the world the way you think.

Another day, another bullshit paper released by Anthropic without peer review implying LLMs are alive.

I think the “unlock” is that AI firms were given trillions of dollars to discover new techniques. In fact, there are very few industries where a sudden influx of that much money would not lead to rapid advancements. It’s not really unique to the AI field.

If you think you can outright reject one of the most famous arguments in philosophy of mind with a semantic quibble, you should think again.

I mean, a quick Google search shows that the web is absolutely inundated with articles and how-to guides on turning guitar hero controllers into MIDI controllers. It seems like a pretty common project.

Always an excuse, huh? Both mean and median wages are up. Sorry this doesn’t suit your narrative.

What do you mean the article lacks data? Did you miss the BLS report?

If you’re so confident, show us some data to debunk the article. You have a weird chip on shoulder, but no economic evidence to justify it.

This is - quite literally - the fixed-pie fallacy, which has been thoroughly debunked by now. Read up on basic economics before commenting on this topic:

Yeah, right. If this benchmark was truly developed in an independent manner, and the timing just “lined up”, how did Anthropic even know to include results in their model release documentation the day after the benchmark is revealed? It seems like there must have been some collaboration or influence from Anthropic behind the scenes.

Seems like it literally popped up yesterday with the express purpose of building hype for this release.

This is extremely inflammatory. It’s like you’re trying to start a fight. You’re actively degrading the quality of the discussion.

Some of it is TESCREAL ideology. Tech circles have been inundated with quasi-religious belief surrounding AI for most of the 21st century, which then biases tech enthusiasts towards extremist positions on LLMs.

Not if you’re claiming that the spells, once cast, automatically get exponentially spellier until they awaken into a spell god, capable of literally anything, including casting more complicated spells than any wizard is capable of. If that were true, you’d have no need for wizards. The fact that wizards are still around means it’s probably bullshit.

The issue is he’s not actually balanced at all. I’ve never seen him say anything negative about an AI product.

Some folks are absolutely giddy about using AI as a cudgel to dehumanize others. Those people are idiots.
