These are not novel problems, this isn't a real source and this has nothing to do with AGI.
Literally starts with "OpenAI says" lol

I was with you until you referenced Sabine Hossenfelder. She is no longer any kind of trustworthy source.

Your video is ancient in this context. It does not reference any of this, actually.
You have a very hype driven view of how fast things are moving.

I'm not going to keep doing this because I honestly don't care if you want to be wrong. I've been writing these comments for other people who are going to read this thread and are interested the topic.
You obviously are not interested in taking these kinds of things seriously so just keep posting ads if you really want.
Okay I'm sorry to say this but you literally don't know what you're talking about if you don't think that six months is a massive time frame right now. You are equating Gemini 3 to Mythos. It's not comparable. You should actually do some research into this, since you seem to be so sure of yourself, what's the harm!
Here's an article from the smithsonian, if that helps. About the last round of AI math developments. Which was in July. So, yes, your video about something entirely different from six months ago is not actually very pertinent to the discussion?

I know it's not because I do know what I'm talking about.
I've been hearing tech bros like you echo this same argument since GPT3 came out.
I promise you I'm very up to date on the state of the art.
No, my original article was about GPT5.6 and you are talking about Fabel. Mythos likely doesnt even exist.
You are (willfully?) missing the point by refusing to engage with the concept being illustrated in the article. It doesn't matter that it's not 2 days old. The point is that these are not novel problems and AI is not solving them in the way you think it is.
The challenges here have been about the time it would take a human to solve the problem not the technical difficulty involved in solving the problem.
Thanks for letting me leave this conversation. Look up project glasswing. I guess all of those partners are just in on the conspiracy. Mate, you've got no fucking clue. Enjoy being swept up in the storm that is coming for all of us, blindly holding onto your moving goalposts.
