They are going with the 50% success rate because the “time horizons” for something remotely reasonable like 99% or even just 95% are still so tiny they can’t extrapolate a trend out of it and it tears a massive hole in their whole AGI agents soon scenarios().
I hate that I know what is being talked about the instant I see it.
Also, they’ve appeared on 3 separate top posts in the stubstack this week, so yeah another PR blitz. I find it kind of funny/stupid the news media can’t even bother to find a local eugenicist couple to talk to. I guess having a “story” served up to you is enticing enough to utterly fail to provide pushback or question if the story is even relevant to your audience in the first place.
