My good man, this is the internet. Grammar does not matter as long as you are understood.
I hope everyone realizes what this means, just look at those scaling laws: if we can just fund a company that gets money to pay potentially millions of people to watch a chimpanzee performing a difficult task, we could potentially get super human intelligence.
If we can get, and I know this sounds wild, trillions of dollars in funding we might be able to pay billions of people to watch a single chimp and that will potentially lead us to singularity, saving us from climate change.
Interesting study. The performance increase on the difficult task as audience size increases is counterintuitive at first, but it makes sense when you consider how many humans excel at performing in front of large audiences. Yet for some of us the stress of being observed and scrutinized is crippling regardless of the task difficulty. I've bombed so many interviews because of this. :(
The adrenaline from being in front of an audience helps a lot. But when I was a beginner at it, the stress was indeed crippling. The cure for that kind of stress is to keep doing it, the stress will go away. Like if your throat freezes up when stepping behind the podium, just take every opportunity you can to public speak. P.S. I don't get any adrenaline from a zoom presentation. As a result, they aren't near as good…
But that was because humans were watching you. I imagine it would be notably less stressful if you were being watched by an increasingly large population of chimpanzees instead of people.
Personally I imagine that the larger that group of chimpanzees got, the more relaxed I would feel. Just think about solving a problem in a room with 1,000 chimpanzees just chilling out and watching without a single other human in the room.
Likewise I suspect chimpanzees would perform different if watched other chimpanzees.

'After 1916, there is no record of him and his fate is unknown, but he was drafted into World War I as a military horse and "killed in action in 1916 or was consumed by hungry soldiers"' I feel like regardless of confirmation behind how high the intellect of the horse was, this is no way him to go out. Hans truly loved him. This may sound dramatic but it feels like if my pet cat were to get killed in war and possibly…

No. Grammar does matter on the Internet. So does spelling. Malformed writing takes extra effort to decipher, so even if you're understood, you may also be secretly hated for it.

Sounds like machine learning
The chimpanzees seemed like a big cost saving at first but when you factor in the wages of the human supervisors, it's hardly worth the legal issues it causes.
This matches what we've observed at the company I work at. The chimpanzees seemed like a big cost saving at first but when you factor in the wages of the human supervisors, it's hardly worth the legal issues it causes.
