So, how do you feel about the recent IMO stuff? Don't they cause a consistency problem for your view that we've plateaued-- to me at least, I felt we were something like two years away from this kind of thing.

Probably very expensive to run of course, probably ridiculously so, but they were able to solve really difficult maths problems.

It's not real, they are cheating on benchmarks. (Just like the previous many times this was announced.)

The biological brain of the top human IMO guy runs on 20 watts. I wonder how much electricity Google used to match that performance.
What is the training cost of such human? Reliability is another concern. There is no manufacturer whom you can pay 10 billion and get few 1000 of trained processor.
And they still couldn’t solve P6. All that power to perform worse than many human contestants.
