GPT-404
Has yet to catch up to Claude-451 from a couple of months ago.
They’ll never get there. It’s a chat-22 for the bots.

Launch blogpost was live for 2 minutes and got 404'd. Rehosted it here: https://astratest.codergautam.workers.dev/GPT-6%20Astra_%20A... Edit [12:26pt]: original blog post seems to be back! https://openai.com/index/gpt-6-astra/ edit [12:28pt]: not again... getting 500 on their page edit [12:35pt]: OpenAI page seems to work after clearing cache!
I suppose they have to appeal to average users, but the examples in the videos are always so corny. By "AGI" they mean you sitting on a couch and asking a robot to draw a rocket ship... and then make it into an uninspired game with Blender? Boring marketing campaigns? Ebay listings? One would expect something like "review my graduate thesis for a new area of cancer research", but it is always some boring non-tasks li…
Agreed, that intro video is as dull as dishwater. Not off-trend relative to previous introductions from OpenAI, though.

#163(Posting partly so I can revisit my predictions when they open access more widely) A big problem I have with OpenAI's models (and of course Claude) is that they tend to write the most over-engineered pieces of code, beyond the imagination of any architecture's astronaut.

Sounds like the model has accurately internalized the second-system effect and is fully ready for demanding enterprise use.

1000 loc of script, why even leave it there for the night? were there rocket trajectory calculations??? I don't think so. should be ready in 5 mins tops. why people make their own lives harder? You should have some basic context file about software practices you prefer, otherwise it gets bloated.
>were there rocket trajectory calculations???
Code-wise, they're simpler than you might think, hehe.

FT is claiming... that Open AI is claiming...its AGI... "ChatGPT maker claims its ‘Astra’ could be considered ‘artificial general intelligence’" - https://www.ft.com/content/55ab40c0-59e2-4c0b-97c9-4f4f5a71a...
Don't know if you're referring to the headline or the body (which is paywalled). The current headline reads "OpenAI says it has overtaken Anthropic with its latest AI model". Which makes me wonder whether FT itself changed a headline along the lines of what you wrote in the past few minutes?
Apparently Greg Brockman said that as far as he's concerned it may be AGI, or something along those lines.
OTOH OpenAI have their own meaningless definition of AGI as "able to do most commercially valuable work" or somesuch, which I'm sure is not true, and is also not what I'd call AGI.
If it can't learn for itself, then it's certainly not AGI.
The biggest significance of anyone at OpenAI calling it AGI is their contract with Microsoft, giving MSFT access to all their IP, is based around them having achieved AGI, but presumably they can't just declare that unilaterally.
Maybe they see getting out of the Microsoft contract as necessary to IPO.

#166So, on the one hand, we have AGI; on the other, the release page is returning 500s.

I just went to bed and left it running; was expecting maybe 20 minutes :)
And I did gave the program a bunch of code guides -- this [1] for instance -- which included quotes like "Prefer straightforward code over clever code." but somehow that didn't matter.

#168From the launch post, it seems like part of the training set only recently became all those examples of people that are being paid for doing their profession for ai training.
