The parent implied Zuckerberg was there because he was afraid of retaliation

I stand corrected. Still, Trump threatened to imprison other people who didn’t start dressing like a bro and talking differently after the election - and who still aren’t imprisoned.

He also threatened to imprison Hillary Clinton. ~~She wasn't at the inauguration.~~

How weird still that that is the world we live in now. I would have never predict that photograph 1 year before it was taken.

Was that phrase specifically used in the prompt?

He's already done the doing.

I had a similar experience with not being able to convince Claude of a different approach to a problem. Then I shared the idea with Codex and it liked it. As another commenter said, you can have the same thing happen with humans.

The point both are making is that 5.5 produces readable output and 5 to a significant degree did not.

Does it matter if "intelligence and reasoning" are there if what they produce is indistinguishable (or outmatches) what a human could produce?

You only have your own experience to judge that you are even reasoning. You assume others have similar experience and so reason like you because they are able to do all the things that you do - and they look human like you. We can't prove there's a there there in other humans. What happens when the robots are doing everything humans do? What happens when they tell us they are reasoning, when they say they have an internal experience? Maybe there's nothing there, but you can't prove it. Moreover, it's likely they'll be able to affect the world and you in most of the same ways as humans can, whether there's a there there or not.

This isn't a catchy sentence though; it's clearly an LLM. I've read enough LLM writing, and this is it 100%

Also what job do we retrain for?

We're currently at the part of the story where chess AI can beat amateurs and is rapidly improving. Kasparov's not worried, he's an expert. He's more creative and skilled than an AI.

Why would these machines stop improving at average this time?

Well written, and good to reflect on.

However, the one thing I feel like is missed by some in these conversations is that what's being built is a general purpose thinking machine, not a coding machine. How are we going to transition from writing code to solving problems when the machines are solving the problems?

I imagine a mix of models would make sense - GPT controller to make overall decisions and override things (let’s avoid the dark alley it looks dangerous), driving model to handle what humans do when they are just driving and not thinking about it, maybe some other models too
