Could a major opportunity to improve representation in deep learning be hiding in plain sight? Check out our new position paper: Questioning Representational Optimism in Deep Learning: The Fractured Entangled Representation Hypothesis.

6 weeks later and it appears this problem might be fixed!? @rockt.ai are you able to find me now in the tool?

Not only will this benchmark help us understand the AI’s human-level creative abilities, but it will eventually save real human effort - if it succeeds then much less need for the committees who write these tests!

New AGI benchmark proposal: instead of giving the AI a hard test like AIME, have the AI come up with a corresponding hard test of its own (and answer key), and then give that test to human students of the right level. Was it a good test with novel questions?

Thank you so much @annamillsoer.bsky.social ! I didn’t realize there was a way to do that (I still need to learn a lot here!) and was feeling hopeless about my account. I really appreciate your efforts!

Oh interesting thank very much! Did you submit specifically about my account or just in general?

Reddit - Dive into anything Bluesky Social is a microblogging social platform being developed in conjunction with the decentralized AT Protocol. Previously invite-only, the flagship Beta app went public in February 2024. All are welcome!

Thanks Tim for highlighting this frustrating problem! It seems to be happening to others as well so there may be a bug in Bluesky : www.reddit.com/r/BlueskySoc... Hey @bsky.app is there any fix for my profile not being searchable? I’m not seeing any, at least nothing that worked so far.

Somehow makes sense that a place called "Bluesky" should be friendly to open-endedness!
