    do we have any concrete idea of how well the models are scaling now? I agree with these 10 results being impressive, and it is easy to think "wow, and last year the models were bar…

    it could also be that they try every possible approach that has been proposed by humans. it seems that was the case for the non sofic group example. humans are not able to do the s…

    what are even "results" in mathematics if not understanding? for instance, what's the utility of the counterexamples built by openAI? It seems you're fighting an hallucinated enemy…

    that's an incredibly narrow view of what's happening.

    it's still important. not everyone has access to 1 million USD. saying it "only" coat 2000 USD is highly misleading for the discussion and future. the concentration of power is a h…

    Exactly! I have some many colleagues who typically say that they do "math for the beauty" while holding permanent research positions funded by the state.

    He sounds as someone really pedantic who never understood what math is about or why it is important.

    Chatgpt routinely cites and uses papers I don't have access to because they're behind a paywall. I don't think OpenAI is paying for all that copyright. That's in my opinion way mor…

    people here focus too much on the numbers, the exact values, the details, and end up missing completely the point.

    give some examples or real insights, otherwise it's difficult to take you seriously

    and of everyone else, right? what service or product is only available to the US? Even with Chinese models lagging behind, the difference in capabilities is not much.

    > If iPads couldn't do anything, why would people buy them consistently? It seems you're way overestimating how logical people's choices are.

    But it's such an overkill. In any case, the question was a bit rhetorical, and highly subjective.

    I'd add the pattern matching syntax. it's so natural for a mathematician.

    ok, but everything depends on your numbers being correct. 99% improved efficiency seems kind of a way too optimistic prediction.

    I'm no asking how to change it. And I don't think anyone has suggested that the market is some mysterious unreachable force. To be honest, at this point it's clear that you're bein…

    Yes, it was clear that you wanted to refocus this as a moral problem of people. But that's irrelevant. The point of the guy above is that there is a system (the market) that create…
