It's hard to read Gwern's accompanying article without seeing this for what it is, which is a kind of mania.

I'm sure he means well and is genuine in his aspirations, but what's outlined for GA is framing LLM's as quasi-gods, which they absolutely are not. I wish him the best, and look forward to being proven wrong.

An LLM just solved 10 top tier math problems this week. It seems very likely that in 6 months they will solve 100 top tier math problems, maybe 1 millenium math problem, maybe 10 top tier physics problems, etc.

It's only going to get crazier.

Suppose LLM solved all math problems. So what? It’s not like diplomacy and war will end. Are humanity’s problems really constrained on our intellectual ability? If anything most evidence points to cultural failing and all AI will do is enable unprecedented oppression due to said skills at intellectual tasks.

As you read this some poor person is starving. Humanity already possesses the ability to identify said person and send them aid. How is AI going to help here?

		I have no idea if diplomacy and/or war will end, I just hope we humans get to hang around a few more years

Meh. It does all sound rather grandiose, but in this startup economy I'm sure he can at least manage to get acquired.

At least he's pursuing something more novel than yet another "sandboxes for agents".

It really underscores how rationality is just another religion
