I think we just need to decouple "doing better on benchmarks" and "actually more useful to me", since they've clearly diverged

(it's a really interesting situation since I think I read somewhere that the reason federal income taxes are directly remitted to the federal government today, is specifically to disallow this kind of state retaliation)

They're both constants, so yeah, they should be!

And, maybe I'm missing something, but to me it seems obvious that flat top part of the S curve is going to be somewhere below human ability... because, as you say, of the training data. How on earth could we train an LLM to be smarter than us, when 100% of the material we use to teach it how to think, is human-style thinking?

Maybe if we do a good job, only a little bit below human ability -- and what an accomplishment that would still be!

But still -- that's a far cry from the ideas espoused in articles like this, where AI is just one or two years away from overtaking us.

As you suggest, I've had a moderately successful time trying to get AI to write its own Sublime Text plugins so our favorite editor doesn't get left behind, so might be cool to try with this too?

I know there are a lot of conversations going on about the dangerous elements of LLMs, but it’s nice to read a story like this alongside them — it’s a reminder of the remarkable potential of this new technology.

Could you have found out somehow else about the severity of the problem? Maybe, sure! But the fact that you had this LLM to ask, and it so easily understood whatever info you gave it, asked clarifying follow-up questions, and gave you info/directions in the way you needed to hear them — it’s such a new way of interacting with computers, almost like an API but made for humans to use, and cases like this is where that value shines most clearly IMO.

(There is a reasonable amount of the article before the paywall, and since the other comments here don't mention it, I am wondering whether they just thought the article was very short and then ended abruptly, lol)
