Using tools to build tools is recursive.

Are you deterministic? Does that make you better somehow?

So it probably wrote a Python script using OpenCV? That's not exactly groundbreaking and have seen o3 do this.

It is pretty clear at this point that current models are good at maths and problems with verifiable rewards. And puzzles are essentially math problems. Still a long way before we can say their "fluid intelligence" is effectively applicable to the real world.

Truth be told, this was when I looked a few years back. Maybe they tightened up their policies since.

Yeah, let's just say if you take a closer inspection, some may or may not be ethical even for porn. Not exactly great for branding either.

The stock market is not a reflection of reality and revenue and users are up. Software stocks are generally down because all the money is going to the current bubble (hardware) before we come back down to earth.

No, this is just pseudo-science and resembles educational research where they try to find a causation to things that are probably just attributed to genetics. Think about genetics determining the size of your engine and motivation being the amount of energy supplied to it.

I mean the problem with Threads was lack of user engagement. The same could possibly still be said about their models.

As a I said, compute and data. But LLMs can be distilled, so even their data is not much of a secret sauce.

Yeah I don't think any of the labs have some secret sauce for intelligence either. It seems most of the advancements are still coming from hardware, making LLMs more efficient and throwing more compute and data at problems. And even those problems still require a lot of prompt engineering: https://cdn.openai.com/pdf/04d1d1e4-bc75-476a-97cf-49055cd98...

It is not really about graphics as it is about the scale of a game. Many studios don't even create their own custom engines like they used to to push the most out of hardware and use Unreal Engine. Games take long now because they are much larger in scope and are typically open world. Even the sequel to Breath of the Wild took 6 years and the graphics aren't exactly staggering but the scope of these games have improved a lot which isn't a bad thing. You can get lost in some for dozens of hours. I would imagine studios like From Software even enjoy the ambition of creating games like Elden Ring.

Technology is what you make of it. If you want to make it your best friend and your only friend, that's your choice. But I would guess more people would use it as a personal tutor. If it works as well as the demo, this already crushes most language learning apps. Actually the only apps for learning language that it would fail to replace would still be Tandem and HelloTalk because it still can't replicate the nuance of real human interaction.
