Even if gpts results are debatable and we sometimes dislike misapplications of ai where its not needed, it feels as though another milestone is being reached. the first was when they were initially released and everyone was amazed. this second milestone seems to be that their competence has increased. I am often amazed at their output despite being a huge skeptic. I guess the fine tuning is coming along well but I still dont think we will see agi from these chatbots and I doubt theres a third milestone. The second was just a refinement of the first.

Well, anyone can derive a new result in anything. Question is most often if the result makes any sense

I'll believe it when someone other than OpenAI says it.

Not saying they're lying, but I'm sure it's exaggerated in their own report.

I guess the important question is, is this enough news to sustain OpenAI long enough for their IPO?

I like the use of the word "derives". However, it gets outshined by "new result" in public eyes.

I expect lots of derivations (new discoveries whose pieces were already in place somewhere, but no one has put them together).

In this case, the human authors did the thinking and also used the LLM, but this could happen without the original human author too (some guy posts some partial on the internet, no one realizes is novel knowledge, gets reused by AI later). It would be tremendously nice if credit was kept in such possible scenarios.

Interesting considering the Twitter froth recently about AI being incapable in principle of discovering anything.

I'll read the article in a second, but let me guess ahead of time: Induction.

Okay read it: Yep Induction. It already had the answer.

Don't get me wrong, I love Induction... but we aren't having any revolutions in understanding with Induction.

End times approach..
