LLM Prediction Capabilities Match Human Accuracy

-A crowd of 12 LLMs vs a crowd of 925 human forecasters on a 3-month forecasting tournament
-LLM crowd is statistically equivalent to the human crowd
-Replicates the "wisdom of the crowd" effect for LLMs

@ednewtonrex I find it helpful to separate change from progress and limit progress to positive change. Change is a difference between points A and B on a timeline. Progress is an improvement at point B measured not in $ but in human progress.

@OrinKerr A great question. In 2021 https://t.co/D5Ld7XQx3r I wrote “I expect an AI written law review article to be accepted for publication (as a test) within two years.” The comments suggested I was crazy. Maybe I wasn’t after all, but that does *not* make me happy.

AI-generated content is raising the value of trust https://t.co/yZSq7rqg42 from @TheEconomist

[Ed Newton-Rex @ednewtonrex]

The EU AI Act full text was leaked, and it reinforces several points:

- General-purpose AI models will have to share summaries of training data used
- These will have to be detailed enough for rights-holders to understand when their work has been trained on
- Open models won't be exempt
- Downstream changes e.g. fine-tuning will also need to share training data used
- This all applies to any model made available on the EU market, wherever it was trained
- Enforcement will be more lenient for SMEs, but they must still respect copyright law
- The existing right of rights holders to opt out of AI training is unchanged

AI Timelines Shorter

-2,778 AI researchers surveyed

-By 2028, 50% chance of AI autonomously building payment processing site from scratch, and downloading & fine-tuning LLMs
-50% chance of unaided AI outperforming humans in every possible task by 2047 (13 yrs earlier than last)
