Some guy on Facebook I don't know with 56k followers whose profile claims he is an AI expert.....


"Grok 4 Just Crushed Every AI Benchmark 💀
xAI just dropped the most powerful AI model ever created!
After months of anticipation, Elon Musk's team has officially unleashed Grok 4 and the benchmarks are absolutely INSANE. It is the new SOTA large language model.
Grok 4 delivers SOTA capabilities that put every other model to shame:
🧠 Humanity's Last Exam Mastery - Achieved 45% accuracy on the most challenging academic benchmark ever created, where other top models barely crack 25%. It's beyond human expertise in every academic discipline.
🏆 #1 on Artificial Analysis - Officially crowned the top AI model with a 73-point Intelligence Index, surpassing every competitor in reasoning, knowledge, and problem-solving capabilities.
🎯 ARC-AGI Champion - Scored 16.2% on visual pattern recognition, nearly DOUBLE the performance of Claude Opus 4. This benchmark measures pure intelligence and reasoning ability.
💻 Coding Domination - Grok 4 Code variant hit 75% on SWE-Bench, outperforming every other model at real-world software engineering tasks. Integrates directly into development environments.
⚡ Multi-Agent Intelligence - Grok 4 Heavy uses collaborative AI agents to solve complex problems, pushing accuracy beyond what any single model can achieve.
🔮 Real-Time Knowledge - Unlike static models, Grok 4 accesses live data from X, providing current information and context that other AIs simply can't match.
🚀 Economic Genius - Outperformed humans and all AI models in business simulation tests, generating 5x more revenue than the nearest competitor."



On the ARC thing, I believe Grok was just at 8% last year.  It took forever for models to get even that far, and now Grok doubled its score in a year.  The growth for these is exponential, not linear.  Still don't know if AGI is possible, but if it is, it could be much closer than the futurists like Kurzweil think.

Just finished his 2023 update to The Singularity Is Near, aptly titled The Singularity Is Nearer.

His prediction for AGI is 2029.

Damn. I haven't thought about tin whisker problems for a while now... The move away from lead-based solder had some pain points in the early times...

Just... Wow. The potential implications to grid-level power of AI datacenters...

maybe a rule should be enforced that these datacenters only use green power

Data scientists don't concern themselves with such trivial matters.  We just tell the engineering nerds to git 'er done and get us MOAR POWeR!!! and then keep compiling our ML models, free from the hassles of real-world considerations.  


But srsly, I didn't know much of that, and it was an interesting read, thx for posting

Maybe rather than more heavy-handed government regulation, incentives could be used instead.

No, I don't mean that at all.
