What does training data look like for a model like this?

> much of human interactions operates on rules that are not only unspoken but often unacknowledged or even outright denied.

This sounds interesting on it's own. I would be curious to hear more if you are willing to share.

If we could show the current models to someone like Alan Turing, I am sure he would conclude that we have AGI.

Looking at your ladder, made me think where I fit in and I mostly enjoy steps 1 and 2. The implementation and shipping are big chores to me. Once I know, half in my head, that the problem is solvable and I could see a path towards implementation I loose motivation to continue.

So possibly there are other classes of people, not just either enterpreneur or thinkerer. Thou not sure what this combination is, maybe something more like R&D.

And LLMs give a lot of value here. They allow to quickly do steps 2-3 - "hard and tedious" stuff - to confirm that the thing, in fact, became solvable.

The first entries are a bit weird to me. They are mostly about eugenics for people who got their Nobel prices in the early 1900s. The thing is that in those days even the state of California promoted eugenics [1]. And according to Wikipedia, so much so that they might have even played a role in influencing Germany [2].

This was true some time ago but nowadays I don't get this impression. Seems like whatever style I type in, the LLM is already pre-prompted to respond in "its" "own" "style".

I had a similar experience. I wanted to test it by asking it to summarise a scientific OMICs-related paper. It gave a warning about me potentially developing a bio-weapon or something like that. And switched back to Opus 4.8.

We can look at the same numbers in different way:

  Error with 91.3% = 8.7%
  Error with 94.5% = 5.5%

  Error reduction = 8.7% - 5.5% = 3.2%

So the improvement is 3.2% / 8.7% = 36.8%
