Technically 'daddy' is a name. A name is fundamentally just a label that we use to identify other people and objects. Post Malone, your first and last name are part of the universal naming system like the Kilometer, and 'daddy' is a personal system relative to the conscious experience of the user.

I always use GPT4 to write boiler plate code etc. It probably automates 50% of my tasks, pretty good.

But humans aren't 'original' ourselves. How do you do 3*9? You memorized it. It's striking how humans could reason at all.

Humans supervising models solving difficult problems is the beginning of an AGI society.

You know at one point we wouldn't be able to benchmark them, due to the sheer complexity of the test required. I.e. if you are testing a model on maths, the problem will have to be extremely difficult to even consider a 'hustle' for the LLM; it would then take you a day to work out the solution yourself.

See where it's getting at? When humans are no longer on the same spectrum as LLMs, that's probably the definition of AGI.

This really is the fastest growing technology of all time. Do you feel the curve? I remember Mixtral8x7b dominating for months; I expected data bricks to do the same! but it was washed out of existence in days, with 8x22b, llama3, gemini1.5... WOW.

Excuse me, the first Macintosh was 7,300 in today's dollars, and did far less.

Consider this: You ask a question (go to google) to solve a problem. But an LLM solve it for you. That's why they are popular in programming.

However, besides this, google is still my go to for relevant information on entertainment and news etc.
