I sense a new replication crisis. The pool of academics that get excited about AI is very limited. Aaronson worked for OpenAI at least for a while. He cites Caplan as "his friend":

"As I’ve mentioned before, economist, blogger, and friend Bryan Caplan was unimpressed when ChatGPT got merely a D on his Labor Economics midterm. So on Bryan’s blog, appropriately named “Bet On It,” he made a public bet that no AI would score on A on his exam before January 30, 2029. GPT-4 then scored an A a mere three months later (!!!)"

Miraculous indeed.

I'll start listening if these experiments are validated by critics like Chomsky.
