\For nearly an entire semester last year, a student enrolled in an online Masters-level course in health administration at a University in South Carolina was doing really well, participating in class discussion boards, contributing to live online seminars, and getting very high marks on written work and quizzes. But it was not a student at all. It was an AI chatbot – ChatGPT (GPT-4) – surreptitiously enrolled in the course as part of a test by academic researchers. They wanted to see whether a chatbot could do graduate-level coursework, and whether the work of a chatbot would be noticed or caught by anyone.

Researchers STUNNED As AI Improves ITSELF Towards Superintelligence - Wes Roth, YouTube
This podcast talks about the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly the development of reasoning models like OpenAI's 01 and DeepSeek's R1. These models are capable of "thinking" behind the scenes and using that data to answer questions, leading to significant improvements in AI performance. The podcast highlights the concept of knowledge distillation, where these reasoning models are used to train smaller, more efficient models like the 03 mini and DeepSeek V3. This process allows for the creation of AI models that are faster, cheaper, and even more intelligent than their predecessors. The discussion also touches on the potential for AI to recursively self-improve, leading to an intelligence explosion or singularity. This is driven by the possibility of AI automating AI research and development, allowing for rapid advancements in AI capabilities. (summary provided by Gemini 1.5)
