O3 beats a master-level GeoGuessr player, even with fake EXIF data

I fully expect that someday the news will announce, "The AI appears to be dismantling the moons of Jupiter and turning them into dense, exotic computational devices which it is launching into low solar orbit. We're not sure why. The AI refused to comment."

And someone will post, "Yeah, but that's just computer aideded design and manufacturing. It's not real AI."

The first rule of AI is that the goalposts always move. If a computer can do it, by definition, it isn't "real" AI. This will presumably continue to apply even as the Terminator kicks in the front door.

Yes, but I choose to interpret that as a good thing. It is good that progress is so swift and steady that we can afford to keep moving the goalposts.

Take cars as a random example: progress there isn't fast enough that we keep moving the goalposts for eg fuel economy. (At least not nearly as much.) A car with great fuel economy 20 years ago is today considered at least still good in terms of fuel economy.

And if you account for the makeup of the fleet on the road overall, a great fuel economy car from 1995 (say, a Prizm), still beats the median vehicle on the road, which is certainly an SUV weighing twice as much and gets worse mileage.
