"We have created artificial super intelligence, it has solved physics!"

"Well, yeah, but its kind of expensive" -- this guy




Haha. Hopefully you’re right and solving the ARC puzzle translates to solving all of physics. I just remain skeptical about the OpenAI hype. They have a track record of exaggerating the significance of their releases and their impact on humanity.


Please do show me a novel result in physics from any LLM. You think "this guy" is stupid because he doesn't extrapolate from this $2MM test that nearly reproduces the work of a STEM graduate to a super intelligence that has already solved physics. Maybe you've got it backwards.


And two years ago this result would have been thought impossible.

Picks up goalpost, looks for stadium exit


The problem is not that it is expensive, but that, most likely, it is not superintelligence. Superintelligence is not exploring the problem space semi-blindly, if the thounsands $$$ per task are actually spent for that. There is a reason the actual ARC-AGI prize requires efficiency, because the point is not "passing the test" but solving the framing problem of intelligence.
