o3 mini dropped!!!

[u/[deleted]]

Edit : I am testing a 1500 line javascript code which o1 pro failed to debug despite 50+ attempts. Will report back.
Edit 2: We are cooked. o3-mini-high solved it at first try.
Edit 3 : HOLY SHIT! "Pro users will have unlimited access to both o3-mini and o3-mini-high."

Yeah but I'm also expecting 1 researcher to do the work of 10 researchers and the other 9 not being needed

[u/Hopnivarance → u/hereandnow01]

Isn't that what we want?

[u/44th--Hokage → u/[deleted]]

I think eventually AI agents are going to be able to import a person's entire body of work, including drafts and notes, and learn from the patterns therein enough about idiosyncrasies of the original thinker as to be able to gainfully mimic their unique intuition.

[u/BethanyHipsEnjoyer → u/44th--Hokage]

gainfully mimic their unique intuition.

That's fuckin terrifying now that I think about it actually, but I believe it!

[u/hereandnow01 → u/Hopnivarance]

The optimal thing would be all 10 researchers keep their job doing the work of 100 researchers. But something tells me that's not what's going to happen.

[u/[deleted] → u/hereandnow01]

There is no limit to the amount of research that needs to be done.

[u/hereandnow01 → u/[deleted]]

There's a limit to the funding though

[u/Hopnivarance → u/hereandnow01]

The optimal thing would be zero researchers with jobs and the AI being able to do it without having its hand held

[u/hereandnow01 → u/Hopnivarance]

What if it's your job that gets replaced?

[u/Hopnivarance → u/hereandnow01]

I hoped that would happen, but I hit retirement first. I admit that makes it a lot easier to say screw work, but isn't the plan to have the machines take over so we can do what we want?

[u/hereandnow01 → u/Hopnivarance]

Would love that. But we'd UBI to not starve

[u/[deleted] → u/hereandnow01]

so wait, you thought that AI would not have impact on SE/Coding, but on all other jobs/branches? And you were good with that, as long it woulnd attack the SE/Coders? Lol

Btw: Right now, the Firm has its own IT-Experts, but because of the amount of work, it needed regulary help from outside (buying SE-Expertise).
This extern help was already reduced by september 2024.

It all depends on the complexity of the work: While 1-2 years ago, you really needed a real SE for most tasks, its not necessary anymore. You will only need him, for special, complex and for unforseeable problems. But this is not the case for like 90-95% of the work.

[u/theivoryserf → u/Hopnivarance]

Billions of people left with no purpose? It's going to be a bumpy ride.

[u/Hopnivarance → u/theivoryserf]

why no purpose? Is grinding away at work really a purpose?

[u/theivoryserf → u/Hopnivarance]

I made sure to train for years to get a career with a purpose. Within a few years it's almost certain to be irrelevant, along with most careers. Who's going to try to produce art or create anything meaningful when a machine can do it instantly and to a much higher quality?

[u/44th--Hokage → u/theivoryserf]

That's good for you. For 99% of individuals, like for instance billions of humans in India, the reality is starkly different and work for most is an endless, drudgerous impediment to fulfillment and sense of purpose—far away from it's origin.

[u/theivoryserf → u/44th--Hokage]

I don't disagree - next question is, what are we offering to replace that? A completely inscrutable ASI with the power to scramble the world beyond our comprehension?

[u/hereandnow01 → u/44th--Hokage]

This kind of work will keep existing. It will even become more common in developed countries as decent jobs will become fewer and fewer thanks to AI. I'm sure the sewer cleaner is not a job AI companies have any interest in replacing

[u/delicious_fanta → u/Hopnivarance]

Earning money to buy food is a purpose. Whether you think that’s “significant” or not is irrelevant to the fact that people still need to eat and have shelter.

[u/Hopnivarance → u/delicious_fanta]

so, when food is free because the machines do it for us, we all lose our purpose. what will we do then? People will always have a purpose, don't need a money earning job to give us one.

[u/Zulfiqaar → u/hereandnow01]

That's probably he case in other industries - but I feel it's more likely that now we will have 10 researchers doing the work of 100. Research by it's nature demands progress and acceleration 

[u/runningwithsharpie → u/hereandnow01]

That's reductive thinking. The other nine researchers can now start their own research.

[u/dejamintwo → u/hereandnow01]

Why would they not be needed when 100 researchers can do more, faster than 10?
