What currently leaves me speechless is the fact that even the most optimistic scenarios are being surpassed and the internal models are even deeply surprising frontier scientists.
"Seeing this new internal model solve open after open math problem shortly after training commenced was the wildest thing I have ever witnessed at my time at OpenAI"
OpenAIs new model started training aug. 28th. Astra was released Sept 3rd.
Honestly, at this point I don't even dare to guess what will happen next. It was somewhat predictable that exponential growth would trigger an intelligence explosion. But actually experiencing it live is a completely different kind of impact.
