Obvious lockdown residue. Could also be COVID itself but far fewer people were directly affected by that.

Why is a constant stream of ultra high resolution input from ~5 senses for years not count as a huge volume of data? Not to mention all the pre-training data encoded in the brains blueprint via DNA through natural selection? If anything, LLMs are more impressive than humans and animals in that they only have access to text to build a world model from a tabula rasa.

It's possible that long-term you are not constrained by a lack of submissions but instead by a lack of actual AI incidents, how would you tell the difference? Encouraging people to go on a hunt for borderline AI-related "incidents" to submit seems like a bad idea.

Yikes, they have a submission leaderboard. As if the expected signal to noise ratio of a system like this wasn't low enough.
