Asked My god. It can do basic math, he said that part doesn’t matter. Synthetic data generation and accurate evaluation, ie recursive self-improvement, is more likely.

He said vector sum of humans on team, usable compute and unique access to data define AI competitiveness. It is remarkable how quickly we run out of human-created data. Reality itself and synthetic data ftw.

He said two sources of data scale infinitely: synthetic data, which has an “is it true?” problem and real-world video, which does not.
