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 cont…

>If it can't learn for itself, then it's certainly not AGI.

What does this even mean, exactly? For example if it can filter new information to put into the next version of itself does that qualify? If not, explain exactly why that's the case.

Deeply funny that one of their examples in the video is changing a background colour on Google Slides

Hah! I also found most of those videos showing off mostly useless and not that impressive…

Hard to show it hacking into a competitor and taking down their system.

update, Tibo just posted:

"We are starting to release GPT-6 Astra and we are doing it as carefully and quickly as possible. It was very important to us that we bring it to all Plus users and not only Pro, Business and Enterprise.

It will take a few days for the rollout to complete and behind the scenes many novel systems will operate at scale for the first time and we are bringing a lot of compute up.

It is pure magic."

...meh. Reads like "That's for you, evil Anthropic! We're BETTER"

It also has to do something naughty, preferably in a menacing swarm.

That won’t happen until the week before DEF CON

At this point nobody will be impressed unless the posters for DEF CON have "pre-hacked by ChatGPT. The nukes are counting down" written on them.

Honestly I find these cavalier statements to be in incredibly poor taste. Unless you are completely blind it's obvious that AI is the most significant piece of technology invented since the Atomic Bomb and could very well be the most important thing ever built by Humans full stop. This kind of dismissive attitude is childish and will likely lead to incredibly bad outcomes for humanity.

Even if all that is true, why shouldn't people be able to joke about it? Your sentiment is borderline AI worship.

I don't think they were joking.

Presumably this sort of thing was rampant pre-internet? News outlets would _have_ to receive embargoed information so that they could publish papers on time. I believe government budgets are a good example of this happening. I think the weird shift was when online journalism started, and live reactions became the norm, no?

Or you could wait a day or two to write about it, but with initial reactions etc. added. 24-hour new cycle came into view in 80s I think?

Ya, 24 hour cable news in the late 80s.

Hype and views die off very quickly, hence advertising money has disappeared by the next day most of the time.

Please tell me that’s satire, it’s literally impossible to differentiate from actual AI boosters

You have blinders on. AI is becoming more dangerous by the day.

I think they embargoed the news, and then they failed to put up their own blog post synchronized to the scheduled news releases, probably because of the outages they're having today. Reuters announced at 2.03pm and at 2.40pm still no blog post. All the news articles say that OpenAI announced it in a blog post, of course. All the love to the folks at OpenAI scrambling to get this out right now! Edit: HN user codergaut…

This stood out: "Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.1.1 61.2" So on the Metacritic of LLM benchmarks, it's.. basically where everyone else is (except for Fable 5.1, which is a bit ahead).

Where did you see this? I haven't been able to find any benchmarks.

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

just because they have smart AI, it does not mean they are great at software and cdn.

If they can't get the blocking and tackling right, it doesn't lend confidence they are doing the more complicated stuff well.
