Anyone familiar with the syntax / jargon should be able to answer this specific problem in ~5 seconds of thinking, though. And I mean it, even a 10yo kid should...

No, it is `n * 3`. The challenge is simple: starting from "1", we must reach "17" by combining the operations `x * 3`, `x * 2` and `x + 5`. What is embarrassing is that Gemini manages to read the formal jargon and unders

You're completely wrong. Gemini can perfectly understand what is being asked, so this isn't a syntax issue. Notice that, on the answer, it even states the solution: "starting from 1, and combining `* 2`, `* 3` and `+ 5`, we m

Being able to answer these questions is a pre-requisite for AGI. After all, there ARE humans capable of doing that, so, if the AI can't do it no matter how hard it tries, then that means there ARE human capabilities that the AI can

Because once an AI becomes proficient at formalized logic, it: 1. Completely stops hallucinating, since we can demand it to internally prove its claims before showing the answer; 2. Stops outputting incorrect code (for the same reason); 3.

If we want to test these beasts in logic, we should probably start using actual formalized logic, rather than English. In just one test, Gemini flopped hard, while GPT-4-Turbo nailed it. Here is my prompt: Below is a well-typed CoC fu

No, they are completely awful at math. The way you can see that is that, whenever you ask it about known concepts, even hard ones, it will answer, making it look intelligent. But then if you create a small new theory or logical problem that

Based on reports of Microsoft's CEO being "furious", and the size of its legal team, I'd bet the people's reaction wasn't exactly the most relevant factor there...

I was underwhelmed, but I got -20 upvotes on Reddit for pointing it out. Yes products are cool, but I'm not following OpenAI for another App Store, I'm following it for AGI. They should be directing all resources to that. As Sam s

Sorry I'm not sure I understand what Microsoft could possibly do if the board just stays firm on their decision. The non-profit owns the majority of the for profit, and the board has full control over the non-profit. Right? So at best

Completely different situation. Jobs couldn't just fundraise for his new Oranges company, lure all the talent out of Apple and outcompete it at that point. Sam can do that to OpenAI in a blink if that's his plans.

Even if they could, why would Sam accept it? The smartest move for Sam is to just start his own for-profit company, easily raise a fuckton of money, hire all the talents from OpenAI and carry on with whatever he was doing. I think this is O

Yes but wouldn't be great. The problem is that these ultra low level assembly languages actually throw away a lot of information that is useful to parallelism. Recursive functions are great for HVM, but when compiled to assembly, that

Yes that is the goal, but I'm not familiar enough with it to judge the complexity of such project. I do know GHCJS demanded tons of resource and efforts, so I do anticipate it will not be a simple task. That's why I want to suppor

The ultimate goal is indeed to compile any code to GPUs, but we can't change the logic of your program. It is just a bunch of sequential loops, there isn't much we can do about it! But you can still use a Python-like syntax to cre

Yes that is the ultimate goal! Although that is obviously a far future. Currently we only have funding to provide a few toy languages, but hopefully the results will be good enough to draw attention so we can scale and broaden support to mo

Exactly! Sorry if that sounded to be the case. We're first focusing on making the runtime as fast as possible. Next step is to support some simple toy lang (like a Haskell-like and a Python-like) for people to start using. Only then we

Exactly, we're working on a guide for language designers. And while HVM-Core (the repo I posted today) is the lowest IR, I believe most languages should actually compile to HVM-Lang (to be released), which is a higher-level AST that is
