"A good canary in the coal mine for AI-caused job loss will be call centers. We're currently projecting 2.75M call center jobs in the US in [----]. In [----] it was 2.63M.

"All the great breakthroughs in science are at their core compression. They take a complex mess of observations and say "it's all just this simple rule". Symbolic compression specifically.

And ARC was never said to be impossible for AI (the point of the benchmark was obviously to get solve by AI). It was said to be impossible for LLMs which proved accurate.

"For non-verifiable domains the only way you can improve AI performance at this time is via curating more annotated training data which is expensive and only yields logarithmic improvements. And here's the thing: nearly all jobs have non-verifiable elements. There's virtually no job that's end-to-end verifiable. Even the job of a mathematician is not end-to-end verifiable. Sofware engineering involves many verifiable tasks but it isn't end-to-end verifiable.

"Today OpenAI announced o3 its next-gen reasoning model. We've worked with OpenAI to test it on ARC-AGI and we believe it represents a significant breakthrough in getting AI to adapt to novel tasks. It scores 75.7% on the semi-private eval in low-compute mode (for $20 per task in compute ) and 87.5% in high-compute mode (thousands of $ per task).

Single-CoT reasoning models (Claude Thinking R1 o3-mini) score 0-1%. So you can't solve these tasks via memorization alone. You need the ability to recombine concepts on the fly you need test-time adaptation. What that means in practice: for many ARC-AGI-1 tasks it was possible to tell the underlying rule instantly by looking at the task without much thinking.

"Interesting finding on frontier model performance on ARC -- due to extensive direct targeting of the benchmark models are overfitting to the original ARC encoding format. Frontier model performance remains largely tied to a familiar input distribution. @mikeknoop We found that if we change the encoding from numbers to other kinds of symbols the accuracy goes down. (Results to be published soon.) We also identified other kinds of possible shortcuts. @mikeknoop We found that if we change the encoding from numbers to other kinds of symbols the accuracy goes down.

"Some people might say "but aren't humans also very sensitive to encoding format" In my opinion for an actually intelligent agent re-encoding a task with a known encoding scheme should always be a no-op for performance. If you give me a set of multiplications to do but you've encoded the values in binary my first action will be to decode them back to the format I'm familiar with - digits. Because "decode binary" and "multiply" are simple and error-correctable operations final performance should be 100% all of the time. In fact you could chain many such indirection steps and still see"

"Software engineers shouldn't fear being replaced by AI. They should fear being asked to maintain the sprawling mess of AI-generated legacy code their employer's systems will soon run on. Because that one will actually happen"

"The idea that we will automate work by building artificial versions of ourselves to do exactly the things we were previously doing rather than redesigning our old workflows to make the most out of existing automation technology has a distinct mechanical horse flavor"

"You rarely solve hard problems in a flash of insight. It's more typically a slow careful process of exploring a branching tree of possibilities. You must pause backtrack and weigh every alternative. You can't fully do this in your head because your working memory is too limited. Writing is the external medium that affords the time and precision necessary. Serious thinking must be done in writing. And that's why you can't outsource your writing because then you're outsourcing your thinking"

"To really understand a concept you have to "invent" it yourself in some capacity. Understanding doesn't come from passive content consumption. It is always self-built. It is an active high-agency self-directed process of creating and debugging your own mental models"

"The bottleneck for deep skill isn't usually intelligence but boredom tolerance. Learning has an activation energy: below a certain skill threshold practice is tedious but above it it becomes a self-sustaining flow state. The entire battle is persisting until that transition"

"Crawling isn't innate (unlike walking). Every baby must invent crawling from scratch using extremely little data and no reference to imitate. Which is why different babies end up with different ways of crawling. Sometimes people tell me "you say AI isn't intelligent until it can invent but most humans can't invent anything either" -- in reality we are all constantly inventing. Even babies are inventors. You couldn't navigate a single day in your life if you weren't capable of invention. Adaptable Intelligence. Multiple possible paths to an objective. https://t.co/Pt6X3eX1WT Adaptable"

"@guy_dar1 There is no AI approach that can do what these babies do not even close. The sample efficiency gap (at equal space dimensionality) is 3-4 OOM. So if the bar is "baby level invention" AI isn't anywhere close"

"Programming isn't like playing an instrument or speaking a language: whether you started coding at [--] or [--] makes no difference to your skill at [--]. Programming is about clarity of thought and the ability to build and manipulate mental models not mechanics like syntax or typing"

""Neural networks" are a sad misnomer. They're neither neural nor even networks. They're chains of differentiable parameterized geometric functions trained with gradient descent (with gradients obtained via the chain rule). A small set of highschool-level ideas put together"

"The problem with Facebook is not just the loss of your privacy and the fact that it can be used as a totalitarian panopticon. The more worrying issue in my opinion is its use of digital information consumption as a psychological control vector. Time for a thread"

"If Facebook gets to decide over the span of many years which news you will see (real or fake) whose political status updates youll see and who will see yours then Facebook is in effect in control of your political beliefs and your worldview"

"Were looking at a powerful entity that builds fine-grained psychological profiles of over two billion humans that runs large-scale behavior manipulation experiments and that aims at developing the best AI technology the world has ever seen. Personally it really scares me"

"If you work in AI please don't help them. Don't play their game. Don't participate in their research ecosystem. Please show some conscience"
