METR is an excellent organization and also not nearly sufficient on its own. We need a diverse and large ecosystem of technically skilled and independent assessment bodies. I don’t think anyone—not even METR itself—would disagree with this. We should not anoint METR as the sole evaluator.
The the words it uses that this site has seen least often elsewhere. Posts are matched on those words alone — nothing here is a summary of this one.

Looking at the METR report, it seems clear that AI-model capabilities have already advanced beyond our ability to understand and control them.

the other extreme is if we're serious about exploring the universe and going to the stars, we are going to have to adapt ourselves to that environment. We're not going to export Earth with us everywhere we go.

Thoughts, feelings, decisions, even bodies don't exist, they're only abstractions that we use to manage the chaos.

Large language models write to satisfy an evaluator's grading criteria rather than to move a human reader.Their words
LLMs write to get a grade, not with the goal of moving the reader.

And so that's the last thing which was very surprising to me which is that like we already reversibly cry preserve tissue including human tissue including whole body human tissue at that very very small like you know in a couple hundred cells stage

The benchmark is human performance, not perfection. We sometimes get requirements for 90%+ accuracy.

The main advantage of an LLM evaluator over human annotators is scalability, not higher accuracy.Their words
In my opinion, the true benefit isn't higher accuracy than human annotators-it's scalability.

What you need is interoperability. Interoperability can happen through a blockchain, it can happen through a database, it can happen through standards bodies with defining standards and protocols. And we've been doing it for hundreds of years since the railroads were standardized. And it's not something that totally requires a novel technological solution.

I mean, if that’s right, that means the Maya and the people of Mesoamerica will all share it together, when they thought about, “We need a count of time for us,” they didn’t look up into the heavens, they looked into their bodies. “What’s the first cycle that we actually go through as humans?” and they picked this nine-month thing. It really is our cycle, and no other culture on the planet looked inside themselves to create their calendar like that.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
