Well, duh. If you could do this with Opus 4.8, we would know. When Astra’s successor is 2-3x better at math research, and the internal teams say “we believe we will get there,” I’m inclined to believe the insiders.

View on HN

The insiders that said every tech workers would be unemployed in 6 months and every white colar would be unemployed in 12 months like 2 years ago? The insiders who are about to file for IPO?

I'd trust anyone but them personally

They might not have predicted the economy but the scores are going up and up. And I think are really smarter

Dont they also create and score the tests

Someone has to lie somewhere. We're supposed to all be 10x more productive yet it has no effect on the economy? Where is all the productivity going?

Going into the color of the bikeshed; hacking huggimgface to cover up cheating on your hacking test; swapping your language for no discernable roi. You know the guy, severe OCD and anxeity, who barely does anythong of value due to his anxious brain?

Yeah, it should be obvious what AI is really doing and its definotely not ROI improvements.

What quote from 2024 are you thinking of here?

What if any of the older good models could also have written those math proofs if they were given the same order of magnitude of resources? We don’t know and there is literally no one else in the world to check it. To me it’s very suspicious that all these hacking, containment escape, hidden internal thinking, math proofs started coming out all at once in a very short time right as IPO talks have intensified and Chinese seem to get closer and closer, also regulation discussions are starting to get very serious. I have used these models and they are good, especially Fable, but not groundbreaking. With intelligent guiding I actually feel better using Opus 4.6 as I feel more in control, having less hidden away from me.
