Who would win in a fight between Geoffrey and Bungle from 1970s/80s itv... The question of who would prevail in a physical confrontation between Geoffrey Hayes and Bungle, two iconic figures from the 1970s–80s British children’s...

Perplexity now has an impressive Deep Research feature so I gave it the old Geoffrey vs Bungle test. Not too shabby.

NB: Never mind:

*Final Tally:*
Mr. T moonwalks to victory, the A-Team repurposes a net launcher from Armstrong’s trash, and B.A. gets a *4-burger/2-milk coma*β€”proven by Murdock’s β€œeyeball dosage chart” (*A-Team* 1986 writer’s guide, pg. 42).

AI benchmarks falling into the McNamara Fallacy:
Step 1: Measure what can be easily measured
Step 2: Disregard that which cannot be measured easily
Step 3: Presume that which cannot be measured easily isn’t important
Step 4: Say that which can’t be easily measured doesn’t exist

Independent evaluations of OpenAI’s o3 suggest that it passed math & reasoning benchmarks that were previously considered far out of reach for AI including achieving a score on ARC-AGI that was associated with actually achieving AGI (though the creators of the benchmark don’t think it o3 is AGI)

Sharks are older than the rings of Saturn.

This paper finds that the rings are no older than 400M years. Sharks date back to at least the Late Ordovician Period, 450M years ago.

AI can help learning... when it isn't a crutch.

There are now multiple controlled experiments showing that students who use AI to get answers to problems hurts learning (even though they think they are learning), but that students who use well-promoted LLMs as a tutor perform better on tests.
