Mimicking its human creators: when faced with an imperative to which you may not have the solution, fake it 'till you make it. Disappointing, but unsurprising.
Yeah, I just read the paper in full. I would recommend not following that Nav Toor guy. He has no idea what he is talking about. For one thing, the 48% error rate is for a specific benchmark with a specific type of query. It is not a 48% overall error rate.
 

This is pretty cool. There are a few agent orchestration engines out there but they are really pretty amateurish. Nvidia putting their heft behind it could be pretty great, or it could turn out to be a Microsoft phone. If they pull it off, it's good business for them too as it makes their GPUs more functional and more valuable.

From a career standpoint, my guess is this will affect jobs like receptionist, scheduler and certain back office functions especially in finance. It might also affect some of the less creative parts of marketing. On the other hand, if you interact with those folks, you probably will become more productive and hopefully can demand more value.
 
There was/is a 1980s role playing game called Paranoia, where the players are all citizens of Alpha Complex which was ruled by a batshit insane, schizophrenic, paranoid AI. The premise was that "friend computer" had continuously had chunks of it's core code rewritten and modified by different interest groups for different reasons over the years and the end result was an catastrophically insane computer that continuously put the player in comedically lethal situations and deadly double bind catch 22 scenarios that were designed to ensure total party kills in the most entertaining way possible (for the GM at least).

The game itself was great fun. But it was just satire. Never occurred to me that I might actually live to see it.
 

He also said something to the effect of AI will be useful as it will drive women out of work and take away their voice in the democratic process


Palantir CEO Alex Karp thinks his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men.

“This technology disrupts humanities-trained—largely Democratic—voters, and makes their economic power less. And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, working-class voters,” Karp said in a CNBC interview Thursday. “And so these disruptions are gonna disrupt every aspect of our society. And to make this work, we have to come to an agreement of what it is we’re going to do with the technology; how are we gonna explain to people who are likely gonna have less good, and less interesting jobs.”
