a few of my favorite tidbits from the newest @NoPriorsPod with @OpenAI o3 team members: “Humans are a super expensive tool call. If you’re a model, you can either ask the meat bag over here for help—or you could’ve browsed and read a hundred papers instead.” -@mckbrando “If you want the model to be good at collaborating with people, maybe a not-too-bad starting point is making it good at collaborating with other models. Someone should do that.” -@mckbrando “How long should you wait? Ideally, as long as it takes for the model to give you the correct answer—and models should understand their own uncertainty enough to decide.” -@ericmitchellai “People say these models will only spike in math and code, but I think that’s probably not the right intuition. Generalization across a wide range of tasks is still improving.” -@ericmitchellai
