This includes many of my papers, too. The point I am making is the findings in careful academic research likely represents a lower bound of AI capabilities at this point.

I bet if someone *has* succeeded, it's via spinning up an elicitation-GPT that just drilled you for critical intel, wouldn't let you weasel out via under/overspecified output, then dumped it all back to you in standardized format so you could think faster - basically exporting your extraction algo.

Exactly. If we overheard Dario, Sam, and Demis chatting about certain well known AI critics, I'd be willing to bet they'd be expressing gratitude. Proving a grouch wrong is a real motivator.

Just *one* of the reasons that Blindsight was ahead of its time. Way ahead.

Wrote a little something on this in 2012, though I didn't anticipate the main reason for hiring such workers - training data.

They did NOT. Wow. Sign of the times.

And I can verify on your rule! I was so flabbergasted and honored. Your feedback was rich and so helpful. Remain grateful.

I remember *treasuring* the previews. I'd fight to get there on time. Was part of the thrill.

But ads? F*ck that noise. Seriously, straight up evil.
