Okay, we need to talk about this.
A few weeks ago, OpenAI announced o3 — their new model — and tech Twitter went absolutely insane. And if you’re unable to make sense of this, it can lead to a lot of fear about the role humans play in the future.
What’s so special about o3? Well, it scored with 87.5% accuracy on the ARC-AGI benchmark, which is a significant improvement from previous models.
Without the model being out yet, some people say we’ve reached AGI and that jobs won’t exist within 5 years. Others, Elon included, are saying that money will be meaningless in the future. Unless we collect the right perspective, everything we’ve known and everything we are doing to better ourselves and our businesses may be for nothing.
The main questions I’m interested in are:
- Will we be considered insects to our AGI overlords?
- If AGI can do everything humans can and more, what the f*** do we do?
- If jobs won’t exist, what do we focus on if we want to thrive?
I’ve accumulated quite a few thoughts on this throughout my years of study. In this letter, I’ve compiled a few of the most compelling cases for human uniqueness.
