I'm not trying to be too negative on it, it could be the best model right now, but it clearly isn't some agi god because things like that should have been caught (also should have been caught by human reviewers).
It shows people who seem to have very full and rich lives, and the reason they do is because they use ChatGPT. These are the people smart enough to say things like "do what needs to be done", or "change the background to make it look better"--insights like these are why they make the big bucks.
On the one hand, I think this is an accurate depiction of the future. There is no meritocracy here. Some people have access to the best AIs and can speak a sentence and get great results, and the rest of us don't have access and so we're the poors. The happy presentation doesn't match the way I'm feeling.
I do wonder how rich CEOs will justify earning 500x as much as their employees when they're just another person that's dumber than an AI. Why are they paid so much again?
Haven’t you learned anything?
It will probably still have some veneers of meritocracy.
These will be very well-credentialed people, who went to top schools and will know all the right people, to whom they can tell all the right words, and it's not access to AI that will be the determining factor, but the fact that they're entrusted with capital and authority to direct small teams of people who also went to top schools and can speak corporate jargon at a bot.
It will just exacerbate dynamics that are already there. Why do people need bachelor's degrees to send emails, today? For the same reason someone will need a PhD or a master's degree from a prestigious school to do it tomorrow.
And the rest, well, you know, some of the remaining journalists will write op-eds describing how they are beyond help, too angry, too dirty, too much of an other.
The benchmarks are impressive though.
One other thing that bugged me though was that they crop every single plot in some cases the y-axis would show a range between like 40 and 70%. Makes the whole thing feel like a spectacle rather than anything serious. I find it cheapens it because it is quite serious in the end.
They decided to use the iconic Herman Miller Eames chair if I'm not mistaken:
And that's basically 50% of the vid looking "classy".
I don't know if it's farcical but at this point --maybe I'm jaded-- I'm expecting more than a kid rocketship I can print on my Bambu Lab A1.
Now I'd say the promotional vid is actually good. But it's marketing: so it's a good vid, but cheesy good.
Doesn't mean GPT-6 Astra is good or bad: looks solid from the numbers.
I thought people here were smarter than that
