A complete mischaracterization, as usual for HN lately when discussing AI or LessWrong. Obviously, even average levels of persuasion are enough to convince some people. And nobody …

So why don't companies in other industries rush to prove their products are dangerous weapons? Maybe because it would be a really dumb PR stunt?

And how do people saying this know the capabilities of yet unreleased models?

How is it in their interest? Scaring customers, worrying employees, and inviting regulators to act is in their interest?

It's not good marketing for them. This is a talking point with zero evidence that people repeat mindlessly. Scaring customers, worrying employees, and inviting regulators to act wo…

Yes, definitely not a new idea. I had a multi-turn composite model in 2024 that was outperforming the top models across benchmarks: https://x.com/LechMazur/status/18288044850339925…

That's not proof. Emergent intelligence is not consciousness.

I’ve tested this model on four of my benchmarks: https://github.com/lechmazur/buyout_game 10th out 36. https://github.com/lechmazur/pact/ 14th out 25. https://github.com/lechmazur/…

100%. It's sad to see that this attitude has spread to HN

I built this benchmark this month: https://github.com/lechmazur/sycophancy . There are large differences between LLMs. There are large differences between LLMs. For example, Mistra…

Hmm, maybe in the next edition, Opus gets expensive. I should probably run GPT-5.4 xhigh too if I do that for fairness...

Rationalists were right about everything that mattered: crypto, AI, COVID... HN commentators, by contrast, were wrong about everything that mattered.

Results from my Extended NYT Connections benchmark: GPT-5.4 extra high scores 94.0 (GPT-5.2 extra high scored 88.6). GPT-5.4 medium scores 92.0 (GPT-5.2 medium scored 71.4). GPT-5.…

I've made top-10 lists of LLMs' favorite names to use in creative writing here: https://x.com/LechMazur/status/2020206185190945178 . They often recur across different LLMs. For exa…
