So I just asked Astra if it thinks it could do this and it said no, it can't.
Perhaps, I'm pondering, if brains were as transparent and editable as LLMs, that you could look at a small brain when visualized the right way and have some intuitive understanding of it based on its representation in your own brain?
Why would you trust a models opinion about its own possibly emergent ability?
"So I just asked Astra if it thinks it could do this and it said no, it can't." Same. Then I asked it to check the article and it said something like, "uh, it looks I was wrong...".
The frontier labs will make damned sure their models can't do this, if they haven't already.
Astra and Opus also say it will take 6 weeks for a feature they can complete in 10 minutes
