This isn't really correct. How they decide what an IQ of 160 is, is by get thousands of people together, asking them questions and seeing what percentage of the population get which questions right or wrong.

Questions that are tagged 160 are irrelevant because they norming group is WAYYY to small to say 1 in 30,000 people will get this correct. It's simply not possible to come up with such a question. They questions that get you 160 on IQ score are almost certainly questions that no one in the norming group got correct.

So no, there's zero proof that 1 in 30,000 people have an IQ of 160. There simply haven't been that many IQ test administered to the general population to determine that.

I can't imagine being such a sucker that you care this much about your former employer? You're like a housebroken dog.

The cheap version does all of that much worse. I don't understand how people can be so cheap.

This will be great for Kenya and other countries like it.

A really bad problem in these countries is their best in brightest are too busy doing service jobs for Westerners than doing the work in manufacturing and infrastructure that builds their capital base.

GPT4 can pass the the neurosurgical medical boards, most of the people laughing at it are typically too dumb to note the difference between 3.5 and 4.

>pushing the bottom out of the labor market and actively making the lives of the poorest worse in order to line their own pockets.

This makes zero sense. GPT4 has little effect on a janitor or truck driver. It doesn't pick fruit, or wash cars.
