If we're counting, the USA was already pretty deep in the hole. Anybody that has experienced crippling debt understands there's a point of no return where you just embrace it.

And that point is right before rock bottom.

Government debt is different - mostly gets inflated away.

Funny joke,

But for real, obviously we all know people use agents to pick restaurants and that's a legit vector.

I agree it's not the biggest surface, but it's worth knowing imdo

If you gave me an agent that succeeded 50% of tasks I gave it, I could take over the world in a week. Faster if I wasn't so lazy.

I think you're overestimating, or oversimplifying. Maybe both.

Assuming you used o3, that would cost $58800 per week. That’s an expensive bet for only 50% odds in your favor.

Of course the agents are only that good on benchmarks, in reality your odds are worse. Maybe roulette instead?

No one is claiming an agent can do 50% of arbitrary tasks. It's just 50% of METR's benchmark set.

Yeah if you only read comments on HN but not the actual linked article you will get oversimplified conclusion. Like, duh?

Curiously, for most submissions it's the opposite - comments are much more useful and nuanced than the source being discussed.

I build my own. Maybe I nee to externalize it...

There are lots of free LLMs, but you (often) pay for the good ones.

There's lots of people with lots of opinions, but you (often) have to pay for the good ones.

Thank you, that just made my day.

Unless you're RMS

Well put, but I don't like it. Though, I've seen this exact pattern multiple times now.

Why? Good anxiety or bad?

I've got a gfx device crash that only happens on switch. Not Xbox, ps4, steam, epic, or anything. Only switch.

Opus hasn't been able to fix it. I haven't been able to fix it. Maybe mythos can idk, but I'll be surprised.
