It would be super cool if the tech media would simply stop credulously repeating every value-juicing statement C-Suites make like they’re the in-house PR department. The only difference between these hollow promises and the guy crying, “The end is near!” on the street corner is funding.

‘The only difference between these hollow promises and the guy crying, “The end is near!” on the street corner is funding,’ is the best sentence I’ve read all week.

I'm most disturbed by the presumption that a PhD signifies intelligence. I was in Mensa briefly and the other members were imbeciles because they all believed they were too smart for school and thus never refined their intelligence with *education.* Every one was a conspiracy nutter as a result.

I hate this woman because she publicly acknowledged that her product would replace creative jobs but then said we never should have had those jobs in the first place. Up there in her glass tower, saying that I deserve to lose my livelihood of 25 years. Fuck, and I mean this sincerely, her.

PhD is not an intelligence level, PhD's are also vastly different and computers are so different from human brains that it's really silly to compare the two.

Calling it "PhD-level" is especially funny since the basic defining feature of a doctoral dissertation is the contribution of new knowledge, which "AI" categorically does not do

It’s so ridiculous because degree levels are about expertise, not intelligence. Besides, LLMs have no architectural mechanism to support intelligence. Their core mechanism is probability analysis, not reasoning. They in fact aren’t capable of reason.

Like she’s blatantly full of shit. No one will follow-up on this. The models have already absorbed every publicly available dissertation ever written so what’s stopping it from being this “smart” now? And it still doesn’t address the “hallucination” problem. It’s a nonsense statement.
