We are about to test the tests, so to speak, and discover whether an agent that aces a test is capable of doing "real work". Meaning information work you would normally pay a human to do. Paperwork stuff, managing accounts, but also programming and social media marketing. Anything mediated by a computer.

If so it means the union of all human expertise is a few gigabytes. Having seen both a) what we can do in a kilobyte of code, and b) a broad range of human behavior, this doesn't seem impossible. The more interesting question is: what are humans going to do with this remarkable object, a svelte pocket brain, not quite alive, a capable coder in ALL languages, a shared human artifact that can ace all tests? "May you live in interesting times," indeed.
