Yes, and also, this isn't real "news" :-)

It is good content though.

Very cool. Looking forward to your demo at Tinkerers! :-)

"But, so many ways to exit... Gee, I wonder if I am doing the right thing here as a beginner..."

Don't get me wrong -- absolutely ❤️ vim.

I'll hazard a summary: we seem to be on some kind of a downward spiral of bad leadership -> bad outcomes for everyone (especially working class) -> bad leadership.

Historically, democracies tend to self-correct. So, if you have a hopeful outlook (like mine), you say: eh, this too shall pass.

Gary Marcus' analysis is the opposite of level-headed. It is self-indulgent and biased in its own way.

o3 is not AGI.

But, it does represents a substantial improvement on one important benchmark and open labs will replicate it and we will learn a lot more soon.

I get that you want to fight the hype (I do too!)

But, is getting into a rapid-response mode really the right approach here?

Let more data come in. We will learn what is what in some time. Give open labs time to replicate findings.

Let the scientific inquiry take its course.

Peace!

This is a "war"... Really?

You made one off-hand comment from a journalist into a blog post...

And your post is all confused... Somehow, you are equating human intelligence to AGI, which... I don't even know where to begin with that.

And you have made it all about some "influencers" and yourself.

Yeah. It is weird. The solution is open alternatives! so happy to see you hanging here! :)

Also, are you folks thinking about using the AT protocol for The Verge. If you do, I will subscribe!

Promise. :-)

Would love to learn more about your experience as you build it.

All the best!

Glad that we are talking about AI power concentration!

Agree but not it's not just rhetoric from well-funded companies training models...

Solutions for less concentration might be both political (inequality?) and technical (R&D for efficient models) as well.

Right now. "they" own the rails.

Thanks for the feedback!

Eventually, monthly subscriptions for extra features that are under construction.

For now, the idea is to put it out there so people can try it and give early feedback. :-)
