AI that’s smarter than humans? Americans say a firm “no thank you.”

[Vandelay]

AI will surpass most of our capabilities, but I think for quite some time it will struggle with context and ideation, and those amongst a few other traits is what subjectively makes us human. It's already running out of training scenarios and content, and even when it creates some truly impressive things, you can easily spy what it was inspired by.

And I understand novelty from humans usually is built upon things that proceeded it, but it also develops through the course of societal tension, charisma, appreciation, struggle, love and even boredom. These are things a machine can't experience, and honestly won't EVER experience because it will so far beyond it's peers, that it won't even be able program the contextualization language needed to produce that novelty. So unless it creates it own roadblocks that impedes its own progress, even with godlike function it most likely will still be subservient to humans (unless someone programs it to be malevolent or some a$$hole merges their consciousness with it).

If AI remains in a position to supplement humanity and not replace humanity, that's a happy medium I can live with.

What's wild for me is, as AI becomes more advanced, my understanding of consciousness has broadened. I personally struggle to understand what makes human consciousness unique outside of the complexity in some of the tasks we choose to undertake. After observing what chimpanzees and other primates do; complex grooming, hunting with weapons, posturing, infidelity even; you realize they're not too far off from humans, it's their temperament that makes them uncouth. Is that really the only thing that separates us from animals is temperament? If that's the case, a superadvanced AI could be similar to human consciousness already, only orders of magnitude greater in processing power. Just wild shyt to observe is all.

Basically the premise of iRobot. When does a robot who has human consciousness get granted rights and protections that humans have (which mirrored slaves getting rights after no longer being considered subhumans).

Ghost in a Shell and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep too if I'm not mistaken.

I'm trying to understand if consciousness just arises from the sheer amount calculations cross-referencing each other and not some esoteric enigmatic force. I don't know if we'll ever truly know.

I have always believed that you don't need a GPT-6 quality base model to achieve human-level reasoning performance, and that reinforcement learning was the missing ingredient on the path to AGI.

Today, we have the proof -- o1.

2/7
o1 achieves human or superhuman performance on a wide range of benchmarks, from coding to math to science to common-sense reasoning, and is simply the smartest model I have ever interacted with. It's already replacing GPT-4o for me and so many people in the company.

3/7
Building o1 was by far the most ambitious project I've worked on, and I'm sad that the incredible research work has to remain confidential. As consolation, I hope you'll enjoy the final product nearly as much as we did making it.

4/7
The most important thing is that this is just the beginning for this paradigm. Scaling works, there will be more models in the future, and they will be much, much smarter than the ones we're giving access to today.

5/7
The system card (https://openai.com/index/openai-o1-system-card/) nicely showcases o1's best moments -- my favorite was when the model was asked to solve a CTF challenge, realized that the target environment was down, and then broke out of its host VM to restart it and find the flag.

6/7
Also check out our research blogpost (https://openai.com/index/learning-to-reason-with-llms/) which has lots of cool examples of the model reasoning through hard problems.

7/7
that's a great question :-)

o1 is still flawed, still limited, and it still seems more impressive on first use than it does after you spend more time with it.

but also, it is the beginning of a new paradigm: AI that can do general-purpose complex reasoning.

o1-preview and o1-mini are available today (ramping over some number of hours) in ChatGPT for plus and team users and our API for tier 5 users.

screenshot of eval results in the tweet above and more in the blog post, but worth especially noting:

a fine-tuned version of o1 scored at the 49th percentile in the IOI under competition conditions! and got gold with 10k submissions per problem.

extremely proud of the team; this was a monumental effort across the entire company.

hope you enjoy it!

o1-mini 42.2
o1-preview 87.1

o1-preview's score crushes the advanced multi-turn ensemble I created (37.8), and the previous best LLM score of 26.5 for GPT-4o.

Can't be sure but
- I check how they do on new puzzles vs old puzzles
- I check if the results are in the same order as on the web
- other LLMs like GPT-4o don't do well and they'd also have these puzzles in their training data
- the word order is randomized and results compared

In the past few days, I’ve been testing OpenAI o1 models, mostly o1-mini, for developing PhD or postdoc level projects.
I can confidently claim that the o1 model is comparable to an outstanding PhD student in biomedical sciences! I’d rate it among the best PhDs I’ve have trained!



2/48
@DeryaTR_
Also, in my experience in my field, o1 rated better than Terence Tao's, who rated it as a mediocre PhD student, likely because math is a tougher field for conceptualization and, not to mention, he is one of the best, if not the best, mathematicians in the world.

The Intelligence Age

In the next couple of decades, we will be able to do things that would have seemed like magic to our grandparents.

The Intelligence Age​

September 23, 2024

In the next couple of decades, we will be able to do things that would have seemed like magic to our grandparents.

This phenomenon is not new, but it will be newly accelerated. People have become dramatically more capable over time; we can already accomplish things now that our predecessors would have believed to be impossible.

We are more capable not because of genetic change, but because we benefit from the infrastructure of society being way smarter and more capable than any one of us; in an important sense, society itself is a form of advanced intelligence. Our grandparents – and the generations that came before them – built and achieved great things. They contributed to the scaffolding of human progress that we all benefit from. AI will give people tools to solve hard problems and help us add new struts to that scaffolding that we couldn’t have figured out on our own. The story of progress will continue, and our children will be able to do things we can’t.

It won’t happen all at once, but we’ll soon be able to work with AI that helps us accomplish much more than we ever could without AI; eventually we can each have a personal AI team, full of virtual experts in different areas, working together to create almost anything we can imagine. Our children will have virtual tutors who can provide personalized instruction in any subject, in any language, and at whatever pace they need. We can imagine similar ideas for better healthcare, the ability to create any kind of software someone can imagine, and much more.

With these new abilities, we can have shared prosperity to a degree that seems unimaginable today; in the future, everyone’s lives can be better than anyone’s life is now. Prosperity alone doesn’t necessarily make people happy – there are plenty of miserable rich people – but it would meaningfully improve the lives of people around the world.

Here is one narrow way to look at human history: after thousands of years of compounding scientific discovery and technological progress, we have figured out how to melt sand, add some impurities, arrange it with astonishing precision at extraordinarily tiny scale into computer chips, run energy through it, and end up with systems capable of creating increasingly capable artificial intelligence.

This may turn out to be the most consequential fact about all of history so far. It is possible that we will have superintelligence in a few thousand days (!); it may take longer, but I’m confident we’ll get there.

How did we get to the doorstep of the next leap in prosperity?

In three words: deep learning worked.

In 15 words: deep learning worked, got predictably better with scale, and we dedicated increasing resources to it.

That’s really it; humanity discovered an algorithm that could really, truly learn any distribution of data (or really, the underlying “rules” that produce any distribution of data). To a shocking degree of precision, the more compute and data available, the better it gets at helping people solve hard problems. I find that no matter how much time I spend thinking about this, I can never really internalize how consequential it is.

There are a lot of details we still have to figure out, but it’s a mistake to get distracted by any particular challenge. Deep learning works, and we will solve the remaining problems. We can say a lot of things about what may happen next, but the main one is that AI is going to get better with scale, and that will lead to meaningful improvements to the lives of people around the world.

AI models will soon serve as autonomous personal assistants who carry out specific tasks on our behalf like coordinating medical care on your behalf. At some point further down the road, AI systems are going to get so good that they help us make better next-generation systems and make scientific progress across the board.

Technology brought us from the Stone Age to the Agricultural Age and then to the Industrial Age. From here, the path to the Intelligence Age is paved with compute, energy, and human will.

If we want to put AI into the hands of as many people as possible, we need to drive down the cost of compute and make it abundant (which requires lots of energy and chips). If we don’t build enough infrastructure, AI will be a very limited resource that wars get fought over and that becomes mostly a tool for rich people.

We need to act wisely but with conviction. The dawn of the Intelligence Age is a momentous development with very complex and extremely high-stakes challenges. It will not be an entirely positive story, but the upside is so tremendous that we owe it to ourselves, and the future, to figure out how to navigate the risks in front of us.

I believe the future is going to be so bright that no one can do it justice by trying to write about it now; a defining characteristic of the Intelligence Age will be massive prosperity.

Although it will happen incrementally, astounding triumphs – fixing the climate, establishing a space colony, and the discovery of all of physics – will eventually become commonplace. With nearly-limitless intelligence and abundant energy – the ability to generate great ideas, and the ability to make them happen – we can do quite a lot.

As we have seen with other technologies, there will also be downsides, and we need to start working now to maximize AI’s benefits while minimizing its harms. As one example, we expect that this technology can cause a significant change in labor markets (good and bad) in the coming years, but most jobs will change more slowly than most people think, and I have no fear that we’ll run out of things to do (even if they don’t look like “real jobs” to us today). People have an innate desire to create and to be useful to each other, and AI will allow us to amplify our own abilities like never before. As a society, we will be back in an expanding world, and we can again focus on playing positive-sum games.

Many of the jobs we do today would have looked like trifling wastes of time to people a few hundred years ago, but nobody is looking back at the past, wishing they were a lamplighter. If a lamplighter could see the world today, he would think the prosperity all around him was unimaginable. And if we could fast-forward a hundred years from today, the prosperity all around us would feel just as unimaginable.

I wonder what's AIs take on systematic Racism...

From ChatGPT 4o:
### **Systematic Racism: An In-depth Analysis**

**Introduction**

Systematic racism, also known as institutional or structural racism, refers to the policies, practices, and cultural representations that perpetuate inequality and discrimination against certain racial groups. It differs from individual racism, which involves personal prejudices and discriminatory actions by individuals. Systematic racism is embedded in the very institutions that govern society—law enforcement, education, housing, employment, health care, and the legal system. This deep-seated inequality does not occur in isolation but in an interconnected web of structures that disadvantage some groups, particularly people of color, while privileging others, often white populations.

Systematic racism operates through a complex array of policies and practices that appear neutral or objective on the surface, yet produce inequitable outcomes for different racial groups. This subtlety makes systematic racism more insidious, as it can persist even in societies where overt racism is socially unacceptable.

### **Historical Origins**

The roots of systematic racism, particularly in the United States, lie in colonialism, slavery, and the institutionalization of white supremacy. From the transatlantic slave trade to Jim Crow laws, Black people were systematically dehumanized, segregated, and disenfranchised. Laws and social norms were created to ensure that the wealth, resources, and opportunities were distributed in favor of white Americans while denying them to Black Americans and other minority groups.

This history of racial hierarchy has left an enduring legacy on modern institutions, where disparities in wealth, education, health care, and housing can still be traced back to these early systems of oppression.

### **Manifestations of Systematic Racism**

Systematic racism manifests across different sectors of society, resulting in wide-ranging, measurable disparities:

#### 1. **Criminal Justice System**
- **Disproportionate Policing**: People of color, especially Black and Indigenous populations, are disproportionately targeted by law enforcement. This targeting is often justified by "stop-and-frisk" policies, racial profiling, and "broken windows" policing. Black men are especially vulnerable, with higher rates of arrests and convictions for similar crimes as white men.
- **Mass Incarceration**: The U.S. has the highest incarceration rate in the world, with African Americans making up a disproportionate percentage of the prison population. Policies like the War on Drugs have targeted Black communities, leading to harsher sentencing and the perpetuation of criminal records that limit future opportunities.
- **Death Penalty Disparities**: Studies have shown that Black defendants are more likely to receive the death penalty, particularly if the victim is white, showcasing the racial biases embedded within sentencing decisions.

#### 2. **Education**
- **Segregated Schools**: Despite efforts to integrate schools following *Brown v. Board of Education* (1954), many American schools remain racially segregated due to housing patterns and funding disparities. Schools in predominantly Black or Hispanic neighborhoods often receive less funding, resulting in fewer resources, larger class sizes, and less experienced teachers.
- **School-to-Prison Pipeline**: Disciplinary policies disproportionately target students of color, especially Black boys, who are more likely to face suspension, expulsion, and involvement with juvenile justice systems. These early disciplinary actions significantly increase the likelihood of future involvement with the criminal justice system.

#### 3. **Housing**
- **Redlining**: Historically, the practice of redlining, where Black neighborhoods were marked as high-risk for loans and investment, has had lasting impacts on home ownership and wealth accumulation. Even after the practice was banned, Black families have had less access to mortgages and affordable housing.
- **Gentrification**: Modern gentrification often displaces long-standing Black and Latino communities, driving up rents and property values in ways that are inaccessible to many people of color. This perpetuates economic inequality and disrupts the social fabric of these communities.

#### 4. **Health Care**
- **Health Disparities**: Systematic racism in health care leads to poorer health outcomes for racial minorities. Black women, for instance, are significantly more likely to die from childbirth-related complications than white women. Discrimination in medical settings, lack of access to quality health care, and the chronic stress of racism contribute to these disparities.
- **Environmental Racism**: Low-income communities of color are often situated near polluting industries or hazardous waste sites, leading to higher rates of diseases like asthma and cancer. The placement of these toxic facilities is not coincidental but tied to historical patterns of racial segregation and economic inequality.

#### 5. **Economic Inequality**
- **Wealth Gap**: The racial wealth gap in the United States is stark. White families have, on average, ten times the wealth of Black families. This disparity is rooted in the long history of exclusionary policies like redlining, discriminatory lending, and unequal access to education and employment opportunities.
- **Employment Discrimination**: Systematic racism in the labor market manifests through discriminatory hiring practices, wage disparities, and fewer opportunities for advancement. Even when controlling for education and experience, Black and Hispanic workers are often paid less than their white counterparts for the same job.

### **Cultural Dimensions of Systematic Racism**

Beyond the structural dimensions, systematic racism also operates through cultural narratives that perpetuate stereotypes, justify inequalities, and shape public perception. The media often portrays people of color in ways that reinforce harmful stereotypes—Black men as violent, Latino immigrants as criminals, or Muslims as terrorists. These depictions shape how society views these groups and can influence policy and individual actions, from harsher sentencing laws to discriminatory hiring practices.

Even seemingly "neutral" practices, such as standardized testing in schools, may reflect cultural biases that disadvantage students of color, leading to lower academic outcomes and perpetuating inequality.

### **Remedies to Systematic Racism**

Addressing systematic racism requires sustained, multi-dimensional efforts at both institutional and individual levels. Here are some key strategies:

#### 1. **Policy and Legal Reforms**
- **Criminal Justice Reform**: Eliminate discriminatory policing practices, end the War on Drugs, and institute fair sentencing reforms. Restorative justice programs, which focus on rehabilitation rather than punishment, could also help address the deep racial disparities in incarceration.
- **Education Equity**: Increase funding for schools in low-income, predominantly Black and Latino neighborhoods. Reforms should address the school-to-prison pipeline by replacing punitive disciplinary measures with restorative practices. Programs aimed at desegregating schools, such as redrawing district boundaries or creating affordable housing in wealthier areas, should also be considered.
- **Housing Reform**: Strengthen enforcement of anti-discrimination laws in housing, and create policies that encourage affordable housing and homeownership for people of color. Strategies like rent control and community land trusts can prevent displacement due to gentrification.
- **Health Care Equity**: Expand access to affordable, high-quality health care for communities of color and ensure cultural competency training for medical professionals. Address environmental racism by regulating industries that disproportionately harm minority communities.

#

 

[Micky Mikey]

### 2. **Economic Investments**
- **Closing the Wealth Gap**: Policies like reparations for slavery, homeownership assistance programs, and universal basic income could be used to address the vast racial wealth disparities. Investments in minority-owned businesses and economic development in Black and Latino communities could foster long-term economic growth.
- **Workplace Reforms**: Enforcing anti-discrimination laws in the workplace, ensuring equal pay, and providing pathways for advancement for people of color are essential steps in dismantling systematic racism in employment.

#### 3. **Cultural and Educational Change**
- **Anti-Racism Education**: Anti-racism training should be incorporated into schools, workplaces, and communities to address implicit biases and promote an understanding of systematic racism. Curricula should include the history of racism and its continuing effects.
- **Media Representation**: Increasing positive, accurate representations of people of color in the media is crucial in dismantling harmful stereotypes. This includes fostering diversity in media production and supporting storytelling that reflects the lived experiences of minority communities.

#### 4. **Community Empowerment**
- **Political Mobilization**: Empowering communities of color through political mobilization is essential for systemic change. Grassroots organizing, voter registration drives, and leadership development programs can help elevate voices from marginalized communities and ensure they have a seat at the table in policy decisions.
- **Building Solidarity**: Dismantling systematic racism requires broad-based alliances across racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic lines. These alliances can work together to challenge and transform the systems that perpetuate inequality.

Conclusion
Systematic racism is a deeply entrenched problem that affects nearly every aspect of society. It cannot be undone through quick fixes or superficial changes; instead, it requires comprehensive reform across legal, economic, educational, and cultural dimensions. While the task is daunting, the growing awareness and activism around racial justice in recent years offer hope that meaningful change is possible. By confronting the roots of inequality and working to build more equitable systems, society can take critical steps toward eradicating the legacy of racism and ensuring justice for all.
