No, it's not.
A car that doesn't qualify for official records has beaten official records. This isn't new- it happens all the time.
That isn't to say it's not bad ass when it happens- but this isn't a production vehicle, and has been stripped to its bones.
If it manages to hold that record after a fully-equipped production run vehicle does it- then you can say what you said.

For now- it's misinformation. They paying you too? It sure would explain a lot.

I agree that architectural changes will be needed.
There are deficits in behavior where even an LLM with all the emergent intelligence in the world will still be kneecapped- like the limits of context.

But I do think that language modeling itself can be essentially thought of as knowledge modeling (and all available evidence supports this), and that from knowledge comes intelligence (good amount of evidence to support this as well).

I.e., I think there is good evidence that we are, indeed, "on the path". That itself being entirely separate from the slimy salesmen that end up as media mouthpieces for corporations.

It's not an argument. They self-evidently are.

I think perhaps you're trying to imply more meaning to the word "intelligent" than there actually is.
Rather, I think you and your ilk are trying to apply the word anthropocentrically because you're uncomfortable with this particular form of intelligence.

What's changed is that in the early days flash memory was one bit per cell. Now most consumer grade stuff is multi level, so instead of a single threshold voltage that separates a 1 from a 0, there are multiple thresholds that each represent a different binary code.

SSDs sometimes have to re-read blocks with different voltage thresholds to get good data, and make use of error correction on top.

Presumably age related degradation is worse for multi-level flash.

Twitter used to do this with the verified badges, but then Elon started selling them and they became the mark of someone stupid enough to give him money for a blue tick.

It's not a bad idea in principle. A simple cryptographic certificate that government agencies can use to validate their messages. The hardest part will be the UI. Making sure it is clear and not easily spoofed.

I'm guessing it's mostly due to add-ons installed by third party software. There are APIs that let third party stuff hook into Explorer, and the current situation is an absolute shit-show. Because there are so many old and broken ones, Explorer loads them to see if they crash, and if they do it loads them again in compatibility mode, and if they still crash it gives up. Once loaded there are no limits on how slow they are to start up or operate.

And what jurisdiction? If they are using European's emails to train AI models, it's going to be the mother of all GDPR fines.

I think that alone is probably a good enough reason for them not to do it world-wide, because even Americans get emails from Europeans, and the possibility of some of that information getting into their AI models and appearing in the output is a huge legal risk.
