No Yard Signs 60 Days Out?

I see my neighborhood here in Kentucky this summer. I want to tell you what I saw. Nothing. No yard signs. No flags on the trucks. No hats in the diner. Two years ago you could not go a mile without seeing all three. Now you can go twenty. That is not a small thing….

Test Called ARC-AGI-3, Same Model, Two Scores.

Last week OpenAI released its most powerful model, and the number everybody printed was 99.9 percent. That’s on a test called ARC-AGI-3. It’s built to be hard in a particular way.
