    How time flies. Just 3.5 years ago, gpt-3.5 was touted as almost AGI, we're all going to be replaced by machines and worst case they will kill us all. And here we are, not much lat…

    How does money change that trust? They certainly have breached their word on this in the past (for non-paying users of Facebook).

    One way to characterize intelligence is the capability of solving problems one has not specifically been trained for. Somebody who has trained painting animals and vehicles for dec…

    I'm not sure where you are coming from, but we are testing a model that can create images to create an image for us. If it can't even do that well then I'm not sure why we need to …

    The Vim I use increases the indent of a code block when I ask it to. Just like it places a closing curly brace at the point where I tell it to. I don't see the fundamental differen…

    It is a proxy for intelligence. And as long as that metric is not gamed (which it surprisingly doesn't appear to be yet), the drawing skill of sth is a quite reasonable test. It su…

    It tests for the "I" in "AI".

    Building in support for that into the site itself kinda goes against the spirit. It's understandable that you as the maker want to flame the hype as much as possible, but by making…

    > likely own I don't know how you are using ssh, but most ssh servers that I have connected to in my life, and still do, I don't own. Some of them I barely trust.

    Yet no LLM can actually do it. It's quite surprising actually.

    For somebody unable to empathize with the "braces are easier to scan" part, could yiu explain why? I find it easy to see if things are on the same indentation. I find it much harde…

    So ... how does it work? Goes without saying, HN is a forum for discussions between tech folks, not an ad platform.
