@teortaxesTex MirrorCode blog was saying that

@teortaxesTex > Money is no issue for agents helping with internal research. It is though (insofar as money is an issue for AI companies). There is opportunity cost. Those GPU-hours might have been spent generating pr0n and nutrition recommendations for paying customers

@teortaxesTex if things worked this way across the board you would expect to see all of theoretical math get demolished by labs burning $10m per open problem

@absenteewarlord @teortaxesTex You know the AI labs have actual jobs to be doing, right? Also, when Google actually used their AI for cutting-edge science they won a Nobel Prize.

@CandideIII They're really having a ton of cheap capital

@teortaxesTex Definitely some sparks of RSI happening at OpenAI the past couple weeks

@teortaxesTex Even the calculator on your phone is a jagged superintelligence. Far better at long division than you.

@CandideIII @teortaxesTex Peter Steinberger burns 1.5M USD worth of tokens every month trying to maintain the katamari that is OpenClaw and OpenAI doesn't seem to care. So we can assume that the cost ceiling for agents aiding research is much higher.

@teortaxesTex we have AGI, just not unlimited tokens

@teortaxesTex If it's cheaper than market then someone's footing the bill

@PlastiqSoldier @teortaxesTex 10m for a major open problem is a way better use of money than 10m spent on marketing.
