Scoring well in a benchmark that's called AGI does not make an LLM AGI.
Minorities and women, for a start.
LLMs do not learn anything.
> This isn’t the behavior of a mere tool. Microsoft Excel has never impersonated multiple humans and pressured a corporate sales team to generate simpler data that’s easier to process.
This is a straw man fallacy. And it is a tool.
> We don’t know how long we have left before A.I. companies accidentally create the sort of A.I. that can shut us down before we shut it down.
Come on, this is just embarrassing. Hyperbole doesn't help anyone.
It is crucial to discuss the risks. They may even require some of the changes suggested by Soares. But using fear and hyperbole are not the way to do it.
That said, I have long fingers and can easily use the largest phones with one hand.
Repeating specifics that others have already tried isn't going to be helpful which is why I made the more general suggestion of digging in deeper to how these things work.
* Lithium batteries. They are one of the most important innovations of our generation. They are so much better than NiCads and lead acid batteries. Much of today's important tech, like mobile phones, wouldn't be possible without them.
* Solar panels went from a novelty to something that we can put on our homes with a positive ROI in a short time.
* EVs. If you haven't been in one go take a test drive. The prices are still too high, at least in the US, but Chinese innovation are pushing that down.
* Driving automation such as radar cruise, lane assist, and other autonomous driving features.
* Digital media, streaming or self hosted. Yes streaming services peaked 10+ years ago but the innovation is there. Having a small server in a closet hosting hundreds of 4k videos is quite an innovation compared to VHS.
* Home automation. It was previously limited to wired devices for the rich. Now anyone can put together complex self-hosted home automation with inexpensive Zigbee/ZWave devices and a Raspberry Pi hosting Home Assistant.
* Hobby electronics have become far more accessible and inexpensive. Arduino, raspberry pi, etc.
* SDRs radically changed radio technology.
* FDM/3D printing.
* Other CNC manufacturing became accessible to hobbyists.
* Bluetooth
* WiFi
* Progress in machine learning / AI, invention of LLMs
