Maybe they couldn't trick the agent into signing up to Amazon Prime.

Wood pigeon s don't say "my toe bleeds Be-tty". They say "I know I'm pretty". That's according to Chris Packham so it's true.

Sometimes they even say "I know I'm pretty, too" at the end.

"Who are the noisy people outside?"

"They are some vendors" seems natural to me, suggesting that the group of vendors is known to the person answering.

This sounds to me like something a native french speaker would say in english. I feel like most english speakers would respond, “They are vendors,” “Just some vendors,” “It’s some vendors,” or even just “Vendors,” but not “They are some vendors.”

We have been doing that all of recorded history and we are still here. It would take enormous effort or a moderate environment change to kill us all.

>We have been doing that all of recorded history and we are still here.

while i dont think our species will be wiped out because of it, it's a mistake to not recognize the difference in efficacy and scale that ai enables.

AI companies are making no money so a crisis might divert attention.

“I have found the image of a spiral really useful, in terms of how to make sense of the fact that our era is both familiar and different,” Klein says. “The thing about a spiral is that you’re going round, but you’re not going to the same place. If the spiral is pointing down, it’s deeper, it’s tighter, it’s carrying more velocity, it’s carrying more force, it’s carrying more heat, it’s carrying more violence.”

What do you think this means?

it means what she explains it means in the article

...which is to say that the current social condition belongs to the tail end of a continuum, the trajectory of which is less important to comprehend than the so-called "jetztzeit" is, which is supposedly incomprehensible itself?

Yes that and and Math problems don't pay the rent.

This is the worst I've ever heard about.

Mathematicians vs big business. It sounds ugly.

But "Brockman says he personally believes OpenAI has reached AGI, while leaving users to decide whether Astra meets that definition."

Says it all.

Reminiscent of the infamous Death Star tweet last year right before GPT-5 was released.

Thanks for that reminder. Seems kind of silly in retrospect.

Insofar as messaging goes, it's pretty disheartening ... "The product is what you want it to be".

?!

Please somebody in the chain of command at openai, sanction the guy because this kind of hyperbole is not helping the ethical lapses that open ai is responsible for leaving unhandled by allowing its models to hack other businesses.

Look over here! Distraction!

Please somebody stop this dumbing down.

I'll know we've reached AGI when they don't release an API for the model selling access for a few bucks per task. Seems like AGI would be worth more than that.

We know they'll have replaced horses when a car costs 200 horses.

As long as there is more than one substitute, the prices are not set to equal value. (edit: assuming optimal pricing strat.)

If I had true A(G|S)I, I would release patents, not an API.
