GPT-4 is not solving logic problems, it's doing an extremely good job of generating text based on recognizing familiar patterns. If you give it something weird and unfamiliar, it will absolutely fail.
I’m tired of this repetitive statement which is so ridiculous. That’s what you do to! You obviously have to reason using in the fly models on how to pick the next word.

After her stroke she lost the ability to do even simple arithmetic and also had great trouble with time and calendars.
However, her language skills were essentially intact until a third stroke in a different part of the other hemisphere left her with severe expressive aphasia. (Her first stroke left her with homonymous hemianopsia, but that's a loss of visual preprocessing in the occipital lobe.)
So I would not expect LLMs to have math skills unless specifically trained and specialized for math.
Why does OpenAI get to define what AGI is?

More than 3 decades ago when AI started beating humans at chess, some people feared AGI was right around the corner. They were wrong.
Last year a Google researcher thought his chat bot was sentient ( https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/google-engineer-c... .) He was wrong.
Some day AGI will be achieved and Q* sounds like a great breakthrough solving an interesting piece of the puzzle. But "performing math on the level of grade-school students" is a long ways from AGI. This seems like a strange thing to have triggered the chaos at OpenAI.

OpenAI already benchmarks their GPTs on leetcode problems and even includes a Codeforces rating. It is not impressive at all and there's almost no progress from GPT 2 to 4. I agree, why does this grade school math problem matter if the model can't solve problems that are very precisely stated and have a very narrow solution space (at least more narrow than some vague natural language instruction)?

The cabbage, wolf, goat problem is also an easy example of a problem that doesn't really need words to solve once you’ve conceptualized it. You can solve it by moving physical figures back and forth, either literally on a table or using the visual imagination part of your mind if you have one.
Weirdly enough, this sort of lines up with a theory posted on 4chan 4 days ago. The gist being that if the version is formally declared AGI, it can't be licensed to Microsoft and others for commercial gain. As a result Altman wants it not to be called AGI, other board members do. Archived link below. NB THIS IS 4CHAN - THERE WILL OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE. https://archive.ph/sFMXa
A link to 4Chan about how AGI is among us. That actually makes perfect sense. Also love the "formally declared AGI".

I would be curious as to the basis for that trust. I struggle to find any reason that AGI would care about "humans" at all, other than during the short period of time it needed them to be cooperative actuators for machinery that is creating a replacement for humans that the AGI can control directly. My expectation for the chain of events goes something like: 1) AGI gains sentience 2) AGI "breaks out" of its original…
Why is the AGI interested in copying itself? Why is that more likely than the AGI becoming a nihilist, seeing no point in itself, and offing itself?

I don’t understand this sentiment. Aren’t consumers doing the burning?
I'd like to have the choice not to. I have extremely limited options for that. And I already live in a country which regularly has all of its electricity generated renewably.
Of course, doing this would extremely hard and dangerous. But living an easier and safer life is the whole point of the industrial revolution and it's consequences, so if you truly believe that it's the disaster for the human race, this should not be a problem.
Turns out a quarter of a million dollar paycheck plus whatever they get for letting Microsoft gobble them up was more pressing for the staffers. Unless these staff were the unsigned 5%.
The employees had a lot more money than that on the line.
The average salary there is $250k. More than that would be the vestment greater than their base, no?
