@yunyu_l Neat benchmark. Two questions:

1. The accuracy is from the best of three runs. Do you define run as the whole twelve-month span, or is each month considered a run?
2. How different does this look if accuracy is reported as an average of three? Was there substantial variance?

@OfficialLoganK real-time video understanding API? :D

[Tim Abdulla @tabdulla]

@snowmaker The top-scoring approach using images only. If you consider other approaches using the accessibility tree, it's essentially the same as the previous SOTA.

[Tim Abdulla @tabdulla]

@usesoso I don't believe you :|

[Tim Abdulla @tabdulla]

@pitdesi If AGI comes to pass, isn't the rationale for most forms of economic immigration eliminated?

[Tim Abdulla @tabdulla]

If our post-AGI future comes to pass, much of the economic rationale for immigration disappears, eliminating a bulwark against base nativist impulses.

@simonw so useful! thank you!

[Tim Abdulla @tabdulla]

@emollick And if you subscribe to the beliefs of some folks that work at the big labs, then literally all work _except_ for research towards AGI is a waste of time.

[Tim Abdulla @tabdulla]

@emollick A truly general agent would reshape the entire economy, full stop. Most folks (not just in the AI space) that continue onwards with building are implicitly betting that they still have quite a long time before that happens.

@levelsio The "no-bs" part doesn't seem to take into account the fact that they do bullshit all the time. Saying this as a former Tesla owner that was promised the ability to summon my car from anywhere way back in 2019.

With incremental model updates, you appear to receive more intelligence for just changing a few characters around in a string. The reality is that you almost always need to tweak your prompts to accommodate for new idiosyncrasies.

The amount of indirection involved in writing a Chrome extension is my job security against AI.

[Tim Abdulla @tabdulla]

merge conflicts are especially bleak when your only colleague is yourself

[Tim Abdulla @tabdulla]

@RussTheMagic True!

[Tim Abdulla @tabdulla]

With LLMs, there is truly no excuse for leaving out delightful little flourishes in your product. Fun animations, twee bits of whimsy, a splash of pizzazz — all achievable now with barely any effort. Have fun out there, folks.

[Tim Abdulla @tabdulla]

@emollick Yeah, it makes sense, just kind of funny that he essentially invalidates the efforts of folks at OpenAI working on the GPT Store, SearchGPT, the macOS client, etc.

[Tim Abdulla @tabdulla]

@tszzl Sad for all your colleagues wasting their time on SearchGPT, the GPT Store, the macOS client, and so on!
