Amazing. Just don't show it to Patrick Bateman.

> GenAI in its current form will never be reliable enough to do so-called "Agentic" tasks in everyday lives
No, but GenAI in it's current form is insanely useful and is already shifting the productivity gears into a higher level. Even without 100% reliable "agentic" task execution and AGI, this is already some next level stuff, especially for non-technical people.
Very simple question:
How do people trust the output of LLMs? In the fields I know about, sometimes the answers are impressive, sometimes totally wrong (hallucinations). When the answer is correct, I always feel like I could have simply googled the issue and some variation of the answer lies deep in some pages of some forum or stack exchange or reddit.
However, in the fields I'm not familiar with, I'm clueless how much I can trust the answer.

Lemme start by saying this is objectively amazing. But I just really wouldn't call it a breakthrough.
We had one breakthrough a couple of years ago with GPT-3, where we found that neural networks / transformers + scale does wonders. Everything else has been a smooth continuous improvement. Compare today's announcement to Genie-2[1] release less than 1 year ago.
The speed is insane, but not surprising if you put in context on how fast AI is advancing. Again, nothing _new_. Just absurdly fast continuous progress.

Wasn't the model winning gold in IMO result of a breakthrough? I doubt an stochastic parrot can solve math at IMO level...

I wouldn't want to be a hollywood production studio or game developer right now.
Well, what would you want to be? Frontend dev? Mobile dev? Script writer? Logo designer? Junior lawyer?
FYI, a VP title at a financial institution doesn’t compare to a VP at a normal company. Don’t be fooled by the different title structures in banking. Being a VP does not mean someone was an executive or even necessarily in management.

“I see you’ve only had 15 rambles this week”
“Isn’t 15 the minimum?”
“Well, yeah, if you just want to do the bare minimum. But look at Todd over there - he has 37 rambles”
“Well if you wanted people to have 37 rambles why wouldn’t you make that the minimum”

That's because the checkbox has misleading labeling. It doesn't care about robots but about spam and data harvesters. So there is no issue here at all.

Yea, if it were true, then Markov chains on steroids (LLMs) would be super at problem solving, but they can't even reason. And they get worse if you add random facts about cats: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44724238
LLMs are Markov Chains on steroids?
By the way, does anyone know which model or type of model was used in winning gold in IMO?
