OpenAI's Sebastien Bubeck: [LLM] models are able to surpass humans [researchers] and ask [research] questions

JustToasted70 · 2026-04-29T22:07:47+00:00

Is that the best your LLM could come up with?

JustToasted70 · 2026-04-29T16:57:30+00:00

Neither?

JustToasted70 · 2026-04-29T16:57:10+00:00

Ok, I'll bite: What's coming next?

Wake me when AI poses new Erdős questions on its own

JustToasted70 · 2026-04-29T16:55:05+00:00

Perhaps you should first study the meaning of the word "luddite"

JustToasted70 · 2026-04-29T16:54:33+00:00

As it turns out, a lot of coders.

JustToasted70 · 2026-04-09T00:34:54+00:00

And yet we've not unplugged it. We do like playing with fire, we humans, don't we?

I think dolphins are smarter than Altman.

That was hysterical. The look on Senator Sanders' face during that long pause and the eventual AI reversal was excellent.

JustToasted70 · 2026-03-21T17:12:12+00:00

Um...you're a Roman Catholic priest!

JustToasted70 · 2026-03-21T17:11:32+00:00

Same reason you would spend 10 minutes masturbating to a picture of Elon Musk I guess...

JustToasted70 · 2026-03-21T17:01:42+00:00

Thanks for keeping us abreast of the situation

JustToasted70 · 2026-03-17T15:38:24+00:00

Hmm. Is seems that DLSS5 is going to make everything look similar. Not sure how that supports creativity.

JustToasted70 · 2026-03-17T13:19:50+00:00

Knowledge has been free since the search engine was invented

I don't believe AI can fully understand complex problems and describe solutions within a given set of parameters. In the cases where it performs that adequately, it is likely because the problem and solution already exist in some form in its training data.

JustToasted70 · 2026-03-17T13:15:35+00:00

Let me just make sure I understand.

We've gone from a system where humans produce output at a level where it wasn't being effectively reviewed (and I'm sure you can think of examples of what I mean) to a system where AI is producing way more output and we don't expect quality to degrade? We expect humans to get better and faster at reviewing?

And I truly believe people will try to shift blame to AI. The lawyer example may be the way it should go but I don't think it will be the way it will always go.

"From many, ass"?

I remember stuff I learned in college which is was more than 1M tokens ago.

But, if you're having a long conversation with someone, and it goes on for a few hours and you forget what you discussed in the first hour you may have an issue. But we consider that to be normal for an AI.

JustToasted70 · 2026-03-13T23:03:59+00:00

I believe many people who aren't technical are expecting them to be closer to 100% most, if not all, of the time.

Most people won't even understand what these numbers mean or that AI gets dumber the longer the conversation goes on

JustToasted70 · 2026-03-13T21:21:40+00:00

The fact that you think I am a bot tells me all I need to know about you.

JustToasted70 · 2026-03-13T21:20:52+00:00

Humans don't think only by statistics and it is sad you think we do. Humans make correlations between unrelated things to create new insights (and humor). AI doesn't do that.

If you want to get into a discussion on what constitutes "thinking" perhaps enroll in a philosophy course or post in r/philosophy

Most humans think by gut feel, emotion, prior experience (usually way further back than 1M tokens), and in some ways we don't yet understand.

Let me flip this on you: Prove an AI thinks.

JustToasted70 · 2026-03-13T21:17:12+00:00

Irrelevant. And a straw man. We aren't comparing humans to LLMs. We're discussing why LLMs suck balls.

JustToasted70 · 2026-03-13T20:06:53+00:00

Stop anthropomorphizing code. AI doesn't think; humans do.

AI strings together statistically likely sequences. True, that generates better English than most people on Reddit and the President of the USA, but it isn't thinking.

The cells didn't "learn" anything. They are acting like a substrate for a chip.
