@gerardsans@SpirosMargaris I believe the latest models are around 15% in this benchmark?
Looking at other benchmarks -- many hovered around single digits, like HLE and Frontier Math, but are now ~60% 2.5 years later.
Also SWE Bench and SWE Bench Pro (~80% now I believe). In 2024 they were like 10%.
@HowToAI_ Whether AI is using real reasoning or synthetic reasoning, doesn't matter. It is one by one starting to solve unsolved problems in all domains... and it seems to be doing so at an exponential rate. 🤷♂️
When AI "phase" will end?
Likely only after a mature Singularity phase, when today’s economic systems no longer make sense at all, and humanity has already transcended into something far beyond the structures, incentives, scarcity, labor markets, and limitations we currently take for granted.
This will be post K3 civilization level.
A civilization like that wouldn’t just be richer or more advanced.
It would be operating under a totally different reality, one where intelligence, energy, matter, consciousness, and civilization itself may be reorganized at scales we can barely describe with today’s language.
Wisdom and self-awareness are the rarest traits in the world.
There are many brilliant and successful people with no wisdom or common sense.
Self-awareness is understanding that your brain and beliefs and understanding of the world are nothing but a flawed map of reality, not reality itself.
For many people what is in their head is indistinguishable from reality and so they view a shadow of the world their whole life.
It's from these two root problems that most other major problems in the world come.
@MatthewBerman It really should be framed as "don't ruminate", not "don't introspect".
But that said, meditation is designed for this very purpose. But also said, it's a lifelong process.
@newstart_2024 What were considered very aggressive timelines earlier now seem VERY conservative.
I see all of this transpiring in 10 years, not 20 years.
We should being preparing for transcending our human, individuated consciousness.
Science should not be the ultimate frame for reality,
because there are no real frames to begin with.

Only perspectives.

Only consciousness all the way down.
🚨In 1999, psychologists at Carnegie Mellon 180 couples for six years and discovered something that destroys every piece of relationship advice you've ever heard.
Partners who viewed each other through a lens of future potential maintained 87% relationship satisfaction. Those committed to seeing each other realistically broke up 63% of the time within three years.
The researchers called it the Michelangelo Phenomenon, after the sculptor who claimed he didn't carve David from marble but simply revealed the figure that was already trapped inside the stone.
Think about what this actually means for a moment.
We've been conditioned to believe that healthy relationships require radical acceptance of your partner exactly as they exist today. Relationship experts preach this gospel constantly: love means embracing flaws, accepting limitations, seeing past imperfections to the "real person" underneath.
The data suggests this approach is relationship poison.
Couples who practiced this kind of clear eyed realism were systematically unhappier and far more likely to separate. Meanwhile, partners who maintained what psychologists would normally call "positive illusions" about each other's capabilities created relationships that lasted and thrived.
But calling them illusions misses the point entirely.
The couples with higher satisfaction weren't deluding themselves. They were seeing potential that existed but hadn't been actualized yet. They were recognizing capabilities their partners possessed but hadn't fully developed. They were loving the person their partner could become while simultaneously loving who they were in the present moment.
This creates a feedback loop that traditional relationship psychology doesn't account for.
When someone sees your potential consistently, you start to live into it. When someone believes you're capable of growth you haven't achieved yet, you unconsciously begin moving toward that vision. The "illusion" becomes a prediction that fulfills itself.
The Michelangelo Phenomenon reveals that we become who we think others see us as. In relationships, this effect is amplified because romantic partners occupy an outsized role in shaping our self concept. The version of yourself that your partner consistently sees and responds to gradually becomes the version you inhabit.
Which means choosing a partner is less about finding someone compatible with who you are right now and more about finding someone who can see and nurture who you're capable of becoming. And equally important: becoming someone who can see and call forth the best version of the person you're with.
Most people are walking around as rough marble, waiting for someone to see the sculpture inside.
What do you think?
