    LLMs are not the "stupid bit in the middle." They're almost the entire value. LLMs were wildly useful before any sort of scaffolding. They are not "dumb as bricks". They are highly…

    They don't have to be. At this point, we have multiple results from 3rd parties where the prompts are very basic. To name a few: - https://xcancel.com/DmitryRybin1/status/207990400…

    Like the commenter above specified, the best way to satisfy the grader is to get the answer key, regardless of how clever you are, especially when you realize lots of these benchma…

    Millions. This is getting rather silly. You don't get to pull, "of course it can do this" for something that has only been possible in very recent memory. The original thread is fu…

    You are still wrong on the investment it takes to create the machines. The original thread is full of people announcing this an a disaster in the making and suddenly it's no big de…

    Building datacenters to run the machines for hundreds of millions of people. And Open AI/Anthropic aren't working with trillions in any case.

    There is no trillion dollar language machine and pouring lots of money into something doesn't mean anything.

    Get back to me when they kill millions of people then. Like I said, prosecutors have better things to do.

    Criminal Cases of 'hacking' require specific intent. What you're asking is that the prosecution attempt to prove Open AI intended to infiltrate Huggingface maliciously, all while t…

    No. Most of the results are from 3rd parties using publicly available models. The most impressive results have come from direct announcements, but most in total have not. Open AI h…
