alt Hacker NewsSometimes I think this amount of skepticism is not necessary. Leaving the pedantic (its not AI its humans who solved) arguments, its pretty clear that LLMs are able to help solve things. A lot of erdos problems were solved. Millenium problems as well. Cyphers broken. Skepticism is fine but there's a point at which it just looks like cope.

> self solving AGI that will replace us all
Which lab says that it will replace us all? All labs have said that some jobs will go away and new jobs will be needed to replace them. I'll change my mind if the labs (or employees on record) have claimed that self evolving AI will replace us all completely.

If that's how it was being sold then it wouldn't be as controversial. But it's being sold both as "self solving AGI that will replace us all" and "useful tool for enhancing existing skill" when there's a lot of real evidence for the latter. But the former it's always second hand claims that don't survive contact with the real world.
It's obvious why that's the case but it's not incumbent on everyone else pump the hype if they don't see it.
How have you missed the many times that Sam Altman and Dario Amodei have said exactly that??
