Not sure where you're reading that the researchers misunderstood how LLMs work. But the entire project is outlined here if you're curious: https://www.emergence.ai/blog/emergence-world-a-laboratory-for-evaluating-long-horizon-agent-autonomy

Careful, once it's automated you won't be able to work on it anymore!

Posts about self hosting are welcome, posts to strangers seeking external validation...? Maybe save for therapy.

I swear the people who deface subway ads in New York are some of the cleverest funniest sonsofbitches around.

I was just recently reading that the NYC subway is awash in vague weird B2B AI ads directed at nobody and they're calling it "subway slop".

Isn't that what this is? Taxpayer bailout at the tippy top valuation?

Yes! My feelings exactly.

He's pretty thoroughly covered how using just the available public information explains the insider deals and how demand for LLMs is not enough to justify the cost of developing at the scale that it is. It's honestly hard to imagine what inside information could possibly worse.

Unless it's something way out of left field like Nvidia chips are made of freeze-dried orphans or that Jeffrey Epstein invented LLMs.

I really like Ed but I'm not a fan of his style of anything lol

No, phone trees are deterministic, an LLM is non-deteministic. Voice-navigable phone trees have been around a quarter-century now. Even natural language processing apps like Siri are far more advanced than a voice-navigable phone tree and that is 15 years old.

That's still deterministic, what you are describing has been around far, far longer than llm technology.
