I also noticed that Opus 5 doesn't show a corresponding gap on the ARC-AGI-2 leaderboard. There is a significant increase in performance between Opus 5 and 4.8 on ARC-AGI-2 though.

How much does it generally cost to run? For simple tasks vs running overnight?

Interesting if there could be automated circuit designs through it

Original poster - made a chrome extension where ChatGPT decides whether you can visit distracting sites as a side project. Curious what people think? Is this whole concept dystopian?

It's very powerful, I can enter implementations for any algorithm by typing 5 words and clicking tab. If I want the AI to use a hashmap to solve my problem in O(n), I just say that. If I need to rewrite a bunch of poorly written code to get rid of dead code, add constants, etc I do that. If I need to convert files between languages or formats, I do that. I have to do a lot more code review than before, and a lot less writing. It saves a huge amount of time, it's pretty easy to measure. Personally, the order of consultation is Github Copilot -> GPT4 -> Grimoire -> Me. If it's going to me, there is a high probability that I'm trying to do too many things at once in an over-complicated function. That or I'm using a relatively niche library and the AI doesn't know the methods.

Specifically for the US and Germany literacy results, I see a difference between these and past methods of measuring literacy. In the first link, the most basic sample question required the user to interpret a simple table. The second and third level questions required users to navigate websites, including a task of finding the correct link to navigate to the correct page of a site.

I think this establishes a great point that we have an ever changing society with growing demands, where we now need to consider much more than just reading words. Internet literacy is a huge barrier, and it’s great to see it getting measured and accounted for as countries continue to adapt education to the changing times.

I often see mistakes when chatgot is faced with more spatial reasoning, and I wonder if changes as simple as deep convolutional subnetworks in intermediaries layers would help the language model fit better in these situations. In short, I’m excited to see where things go, and can definitely see room for great improvement through improvements to the architecture!

I agree with your sentiment, and I am comforted by competition balancing things out. I think these price distortions are coming from companies with less competition (or they're just losing out on customers!) Most competitive software applications are offered for free (social media, web browsing, word processing) no matter how wealthy the users are, because nobody would pay more for an equivalent product.

This is definitely a good argument for encouraging competition and increased price transparency.

Apple produced a weather app and bought out a leading competitor. This hurts the consumer because there is a loss of consumer choice and competition in the space.

In a related vein, it's exciting that Apple is investing in Apple Maps as a competitor to Google Maps, especially since Google bought out Waze a few years ago.

Thank you for sharing this! I'm sorry it got taken down. I think it's great perspective to hear that the island party still happened this year!
