Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

I have unfortunately stumbled upon some nonsense from r/singularity
shockingly, the top comments are calling bs:
They also missed how that graph is measuring software/coding tasks, while the OP was estimating based off math ability, which are two wildly different fields
i also like how they skipped the part where it was 10k (or whatever) instances running in parallel
The y axis is also incredibly misleading-everything under 56h is squashed down so that the gap looks bigger
If they wanted to show exponential relationship, then exponential scale would work better, but i think it was just a ceiling on former benchmarks
