AI is passing traditional tests like the SATs with ease, so researchers are creating tougher challenges to truly measure AI capabilities.
🚨 Breaking News
New AI evaluation methods are being developed to better assess advanced AI systems and understand their risks, like cybersecurity and misuse.
⚡ Wire Simplified
Standard tests can no longer challenge today’s AI; it’s time for more creative evaluations.
Researchers are designing tougher assessments to uncover hidden AI weaknesses.
The aim is to measure real-world abilities and prevent misuse in areas like cybersecurity and bioterrorism.
Balancing complexity and practicality is the biggest challenge in building these new tests.
Rigorous testing could reveal surprising limits of advanced AI models.
✔️ Straight to the Point
New AI tests are crucial for safe development, but designing evaluations that truly test AI's limits remains an uphill battle.

Here is why AI will KICK SOME SERIOUS ASS as a software engineer!
- it is already aware of all the software packages in the world
- it can test and correct itself
- once we can get it to self-test and self-verify it will have zero bugs
- it can already turn mocks into code
- it can read and fix jira bugs at rocket speed
We are just scratching the surface with CodeLLM and other AI editors.
The best is yet to come and will come very quickly!
Your stock will go up;
your stock will go down.
True freedom — in both business and personhood — entails knowing your stock price does not equate to your true value.
Peace out, and wishing the most beautiful Christmas to all 🤙
