This is an article with a title written in the form of a question but ending with an exclamation point because the obvious answer is of course No, it fucking can’t. Your GrimDark cannot beat the Germans! First of all the Germans are unbeatable on this front because their national park is called the Black Forest and their children’s literature is all about littl

I got the highest score on ARC-AGI again swapping Python for English

news.ycombinator.com Jeremy Berman 2025-09-22 21:53:47

I think ARC-AGI is still the most important benchmark we have today. It’s surprising that LLMs can win the math olympiad but struggle with simple puzzles that humans can solve easily. This highlights a core limitation of current LLMs: they struggle to reason about things they weren't trained on. They struggle to generalize. But they are getting better, fast. Last December, I got first place on ARC-AGI v1 with a score of 53.6%. A lot has changed since then. Thinking models had just come out and

How Prehistoric Humans Survived a Supervolcano So Big We Probably Should Have Gone Extinct

gizmodo.com Jayde N. Hirniak 2025-09-28 05:35:08

If you were lucky 74,000 years ago, you would have survived the Toba supereruption, one of the largest catastrophic events that Earth has seen in the past 2.5 million years. While the volcano is located in what’s now Indonesia, living organisms across the entire globe were potentially affected. As an archaeologist who specializes in studying volcanic eruptions of the past, I often think about how incredible it is that humans survived this extinction-level event that was over 10,000 times larger

New Research Finds That ChatGPT Secretly Has a Deep Anti-Human Bias

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-12 02:30:50

Do you like AI models? Well, chances are, they sure don't like you back. New research suggests that the industry's leading large language models, including those that power ChatGPT, display an alarming bias towards other AIs when they're asked to choose between human and machine-generated content. The authors of the study, which was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, are calling this blatant favoritism "AI-AI bias" — and warn of an AI-dominated future whe

I would love to know how the AI categorizes this, but it's kind of fascinating.

OpenMind wants to be the Android operating system of humanoid robots

Many companies are focused on building robots, or the hardware components to help them move, grip objects, or interact with the world around them. OpenMind is focused under the hood. The Silicon Valley-based startup is building a software layer, called OM1, for humanoid robots that acts as an operating system. The company compares itself to being the Android for robotics because its software is open and hardware agnostic. Stanford professor Jan Liphardt, the founder of OpenMind, told TechCrunc

AI Is Already Disrupting Labor, and Recent Grads Could Be a ‘Lost Generation’

“Artificial intelligence is going to replace literally half of all white-collar workers in the U.S.” That’s a direct quote from Ford CEO Jim Farley from earlier this month. And he is not the only executive ringing the alarm. Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas recently told The Verge that he expects AI to be able to replace recruiters and executive assistants in the next six months. The warnings are plenty, and the timeline the executives give is relatively short. But the reality may be even more i

Large-scale DNA study maps 37,000 years of human disease history

A new study suggests that our ancestors’ close cohabitation with domesticated animals and large-scale migrations played a key role in the spread of infectious diseases. The team, led by Professor Eske Willerslev at the Universities of Cambridge and Copenhagen, recovered ancient DNA from 214 known human pathogens in prehistoric humans from Eurasia. They found that the earliest evidence of zoonotic diseases – illnesses transmitted from animals to humans, like COVID in recent times – dates back t

When Humans Learned to Live Everywhere

Geography is one of the things that sets apart modern humans. Our closest living relatives — chimpanzees and bonobos — are confined to a belt of Central African forests. But humans have spread across every continent, even remote islands. Our species can thrive not only in forests, but in grasslands, swamps, deserts and just about every other ecosystem dry land has to offer. In a study published on Wednesday, scientists pinpoint the origin of our extraordinary adaptability: Africa, about 70,000
