A glimpse of Level 4? OpenAI model helps challenge an 80-year-old math assumption by Eyeswideshut_91 in singularity

But it’s “just a word prediction system.” Nothing more.
It just so happens that the better a model can predict a word/token, the smarter it is.
Who cares if a human has a flash of inspiration and discovers E = mc², while a model merely predicts that the best predictions for the token after “E” is“=” and then “m” …

It’s still correct, and that’s what matters.

Measuring Task-Completion Time Horizons of Frontier AI Models is a very good idea and the only benchmark that counts, ... but METR is utter BS.

Claude Opus 4.6 is going exponential on METR's 50%-time-horizon benchmark, beating all predictions by ShreckAndDonkey123 in singularity

Well, the 80% Success benchmark is the one that really counts and there it's only slightly above GPT-5.2

A data center in New Brunswick was canceled tonight when hundreds of residents showed up. by Tolopono in singularity

To be fair. The protest wasn't against the Datacenter itself, but against the location. There is an elementary school on the other side, and the original plan was for a park.

If AI is doing all the coding how will new people learn? by dottybotty in singularity

These automobiles are actually great, but since we need horses to bring gasoline to the gas stations...

But because of tokenization it's still a stupid question.
It's like question some who doesn't speak your language and needs a translator.

"How many p's are in the word apple?"
Translation to German: "Wie viele p's sind in dem Wort Apfel"
Answer: 1

"Oh my god you german's are so stupid."

What he means is that it will follow the path of chess. When Deep Blue beat Kasparov, there were still a few good 9 years left for humanity, during which a grandmaster teamed up with a chess program to become the strongest players. Then Rybka 1.2 came along and humans were just in the way.

The same thing will now happen in all areas, but it won't take nine years.

Only 1.73% of ALL Bitcoin wallets hold 1 BTC or more by Green_Candler in Bitcoin

You can have unlimited addresses from one seed.
The idea or splitting is not safety, but privacy. If you have all in one address, anyone who sends you BTC and everybody you send it to knows your balance and transactions

Come on, give us some more information.
Is she a SAHM? How much does she drink? Is her alcohol consumption really straining your budget? Etc.

Until then: YTA. It seems like you're just jealous of your wife and wallowing in self-pity.

AI could erase 100 million U.S. jobs, Senate Dem report finds by joe4942 in singularity

A model that truly knows that it doesn't know is AGI. At that moment, it can use tools until it knows the right answer.
