>of all possible theorems almost none have short proofs Ok, but what about the theorems humans would actually care about?
comment
I guess I should expect it on a VC-tied forum, but it seems strange to talk about company valuations and investment outlooks in the event of an artificial superintelligence operating in the world.

Considering how fast open source models are closing the performance gap, this is rather optimistic. Maybe if they somehow fixed hallucinations and kept the secret sauce to themselves, I could see them…

I wonder how an alternative-timeline South which was still segregated would have dealt with interracial porn.

EpochAI have to send the questions (but not the answer key) to OpenAI in order to score the models. An overnight 2% -> 25% jump on this benchmark is a bit curious.

Yes. An actual "thinking machine" would be constantly running computations on its accumulated experience in order to improve its future output and/or further compress its sensory histor…

>Frontier Math (25% on high compute, previous 2%) This is so insane that I can't help but be skeptical. I know FM answer key is private, but they have to send the questions to OpenAI in order …
