The “progress” demonstrated in this example is to literally just extract bytes from the middle of a number:

Is this task:

“About 2 minutes later, these values were captured, again spaced 5 seconds apart.

0160093201 0160092d01 0160092801 0160092301 0160091e01”

really even need an AI to assist (this should be a near instant task for a human with basic CS numerical skills)? If this is the type of task one thinks an AI would be useful for they are likely in trouble for other reasons.

Also notable that you can cherry pick more impressive feats even from older models, so I don’t necessarily think this proves progress.

I still wouldn’t get too carried away just yet.
