    The Onion predicted this in 2014: &quot;Teens Migrating From Facebook To Comments Section Of Slow-Motion Deer Video&quot; (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=a4mMY2Kl3GY" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=a4mMY2Kl3GY)

    Reminds me a little bit of the agent improvised coordination schemes.

      What the OpenAI agents did is basically how my class in middle school improvised a chat room. We renamed files in a chosen directory. It made me think that some of the reporting about the technical ingenuity shown in that incident was a bit overblown, at least on that point. I mean, we were able to figure it out as normal 12-year-olds.

        Yeah but five years ago and LLM showing the ingenuity of a 12 year old would have been unbelievable.

          to be &quot;fair&quot; are LLMs even 12 years yet?

            We&#x27;re trusting them to drive and go to war, so might as well treat them as 18+.

              12-year old soldiers exist too. (sadly)

              It&#x27;s not real AGI until it gets depressed and develops an unhealthy relationship with prediction markets.

                We need to get to work figuring out a digital version of booze to offer the coming AGI, it’s the humane thing to do.
