Why 5-10 years? At current rates, price per equivalent output is dropping at 99.9% over 5 years. That's basically $0.01 in 5 years. Does it really need to be that cheap to be worth it? Keep in mind, $0.01 in 5 years is worth less than $0.01 today.

Wow that's incredible! Could you show your work?

Arc-AGI-2: 84.6% (vs 68.8% for Opus 4.6) Wow. https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/models-and-research/ge...

Even before this, Gemini 3 has always felt unbelievably 'general' for me. It can beat Balatro (ante 8) with text description of the game alone[0]. Yeah, it's not an extremely difficult goal for humans, but considering: 1. It's an LLM, not something trained to play Balatro specifically 2. Most (probably >99.9%) players can't do that at the first attempt 3. I don't think there are many people who posted their Balatro p…

Google has a library of millions of scanned books from their Google Books project that started in 2004. I think we have reason to believe that there are more than a few books about effectively playing different traditional card games in there, and that an LLM trained with that dataset could generalize to understand how to play Balatro from a text description.

Nonetheless I still think it's impressive that we have LLMs that can just do this now.

Who said they’re godlike today? And yes, you are probably using them wrong if you don’t find them useful or don’t see the rapid improvement.

Let's come back in 12 months and discuss your singularity then. Meanwhile I spent like $30 on a few models as a test yesterday, none of them could tell me why my goroutine system was failing, even though it was painfully obvious (I purposefully added one too many wg.Done), gemini, codex, minimax 2.5, they all shat the bed on a very obvious problem but I am to believe they're 98% conscious and better at logic and math…

You are fighting straw men here. Any further discussion would be pointless.

François Chollet, creator of ARC-AGI, has consistently said that solving the benchmark does not mean we have AGI. It has always been meant as a stepping stone to encourage progress in the correct direction rather than as an indicator of reaching the destination. That's why he is working on ARC-AGI-3 (to be released in a few weeks) and ARC-AGI-4. His definition of reaching AGI, as I understand it, is when it becomes i…

> His definition of reaching AGI, as I understand it, is when it becomes impossible to construct the next version of ARC-AGI because we can no longer find tasks that are feasible for normal humans but unsolved by AI. That is the best definition I've yet to read. If something claims to be conscious and we can't prove it's not, we have no choice but to believe it. Thats said, I'm reminded of the impossible voting tests…

Could it also be that the models are just a lot better than a year ago?

> Could it also be that the models are just a lot better than a year ago? No, the proof is in the pudding. After AI we're having higher prices, higher deficits and lower standard of living. Electricity, computers and everything else costs more. "Doing better" can only be justified by that real benchmark. If Gemini 3 DT was better we would have falling prices of electricity and everything else at least until they get…

Man, I've seen some maintenance folks down on the field before working on them goalposts but I'm pretty sure this is the first time I saw aliens from another Universe literally teleport in, grab the goalposts, and teleport out.

Isn’t the point of ARC that you can’t train against it? Or doesn’t it achieve that goal anymore somehow?

How can you make sure of that? AFAIK, these SOTA models run exclusively on their developers hardware. So any test, any benchmark, anything you do, does leak per definition. Considering the nature of us humans and the typical prisoners dilemma, I don't see how they wouldn't focus on improving benchmarks even when it gets a bit... shady? I tell this as a person who really enjoys AI by the way.

Because the gains from spending time improving the model overall outweigh the gains from spending time individually training on benchmarks.

The pelican benchmark is a good example, because it's been representative of models ability to generate SVGs, not just pelicans on bikes.

Do opus 4.6 or gemini deep think really use test time adaptation ? How does it work in practice?

It's trained on YouTube data. It's going to get roffle and drspectred at the very least.

Gemini has always felt like someone who was book smart to me. It knows a lot of things. But if you ask it do anything that is offscript it completely falls apart

I'd rather say it has a mind of its own; it does things its way. But I have not tested this model, so they might have improved its instruction following.
