Model Evaluation and Threat Research is an AI research charity that looks into the threat of AI agents! That sounds a bit AI doomsday cult, and they take funding from the AI doomsday cult organisat…
ahahaha holy shit. I knew METR smelled a bit like AI doomsday cultists and took money from OpenPhil, but those “open source” projects and engineers? One of them was LessWrong.
Here’s a LW site dev whining about the study, he was in it and i think he thinks it was unfair to AI
I think if people are citing in another 3 months time, they’ll be making a mistake
dude $NEXT_VERSION will be so cool
so anyway, this study has gone mainstream! It was on CNBC! I urge you not to watch that unless you have a yearning need to know what the normies are hearing about this shit. In summary, they are hearing that AI coding isn’t all that actually and may not do what the captains of industry want.
around 2:30 the two talking heads ran out of information and just started incorrecting each other on the fabulous AI future, like the worst work lunchroom debate ever but it’s about AI becoming superhuman
the key takeaway for the non techie businessmen and investors who take CNBC seriously ever: the bubble starts not going so great
Yeah, METR was the group that made the infamous AI IS DOUBLING EVERY 4-7 MONTHS GRAPH where the measurement was 50% success at SWE tasks based on the time it took a human to complete it. Extremely arbitrary success rate, very suspicious imo. They are fanatics trying to pinpoint when the robo god recursive self improvement loop starts.
