But couldn't they just turn around and sell this hackers for much more money?

Makes negative sense. If it were that easy, OpenAI wouldn't have any bugs bc they could just run agents to exploit their own stuff and then fix all their bugs.

This bug could not be found by just asking an AI "find bugs in ChatGPT", that's why it was reported through a bug bounty programs and that's why it should be worth more than $5k

I guess, but kids still go outside and do chores. What do you think kids no longer do that kids in Twain's novels did?

They certainly don't use many of the same words, probably don't sail or float on a river (but how many kids could ever do that). What else? The core elements of friendship, loyalty, cunning, and the base satire are all still relevant and visceral today

> I wonder how many more generations we can go before that's all gone, or if it already has. There's still a lot of value in it as a work of literature, but I don't know if it has the same intuitive understanding it had in the 20th century.

...what do you think will cause kids to be unable to understand it? They understand things like the Odyssey and the Iliad, Charles Dickens, the Bible/Torah/Quran/Baghvad Gita/etc., Faust, Don Quixote, etc. all of which were written far earlier

I don't believe new copies are censored? I read the book (Huckleberry Finn's not Sawyer's) as a kid in the 2010s and we read the version with slurs as well

Antitrust is completely dead with the current President brazenly taking bribes through his son in law and his sons fake crypto company and scamming his own supporters twice with rug pull memecoins. With that level of disdain for consumers who will ever enforce antitrust?

That's crazy bc in California with super high minimum wage and DD paying a portion of the order and not a minimum wage, the drivers make less than everyone else usually

The OP said it was a complicated return so anyone assuming OPs anecdote is in line with the article is filling the lines in themselves with a lot of assumptions

The goalposts shifted so hard here I think we're playing rugby instead of football

It's unusual to spend that much even for a small business tax returns except maybe in major cities

According to these benchmarks. It's not there yet

Your anecdote seems to clash heavily with the results of the benchmark announced in the article. I suppose that is part of the jagged experience of agentic AI

Isn't writing out the example in the beginning that Astra missed basically ensuring that every future model will get this task correct?

I guess my point is these benchmarks unless they are constantly refreshed with new scenarios and not ever having their outcomes written about publicly or available on a public server, will always be prone to being gamed

They are on the rise but that rise is slower than and has not yet made up for the jobs lost despite growth in revenues returning to the industry

Most people who say this have no idea how complex governments are. California has a budget stabilization fund which they deposit extra revenue into every year. But it needed to be used post COVID a time 90% of commenters here would have failed to handle well if they'd been in charge.

This is proven by looking at the disastrous Trump admin. Who came in thinking "Uh government is so bloated we need to spend smarter and cut waste" and did DOGE for a bit, then quit, and added more money to our deficit and barely saved anything and spent more money hiring back essential people bc they couldn't distinguish essential spend from frivolous spend
