Literally yesterday we had a post about GPT-5.2, which jumped 30% on ARC-AGI 2, 100% on AIME without tools, and a bunch of other impressive stats. A layman's (mine) reading of those numbers feels like the models continue to improve as fast as they always have. Then today we have people saying every iteration is further from AGI. It really perplexes me is how split-brain HN is on this topic.

My entire (non American) education career was exam based. The exams were tightly supervised, no books etc. Every thing had to be memorised. Cheating was impossible.

Funny thing is, memorising something is a big help to understanding it.

In that system, AI is a very useful tool. AFAIK, this is how they still do it in many Asian countries.

It worked pretty well. Produced a lot of educated people.

... memorising something is a big help to understanding it.

Not if you overfit the training set.

Counting letters is tricky for LLMs because they operate on tokens, not letters. From the perspective of a LLM, if you ask it "this is a sentence, count the letters in it" it doesn't see a stream of characters like we do, it sees [851, 382, 261, 21872, 11, 3605, 290, 18151, 306, 480].

So what? It knows number of letters in each token, and can sum them together.

Isn't most of this demo no man's sky? The voiceover doesn't make it clear that the world is not generated by SIMA.

This is not a world generating model.

It is a game playing model.
