    I'm surprised there's still so much hype funding 3 years in. There's still no evidence LLMs lead to "superintelligence" - it's interesting that's the word chosen by all these new startups

    I wonder how this compares to Generally Intelligent / Imbue (renamed), whose hiring ads were regularly appearing in HN for months, but I've not seen that lately.

    1)It must be able to provide answers to Zen Koans as a test of its synthetic intuition. 2) Must solve P vs NP problem or it's equivalent. 3) Must be able to provide emotional support to a person who recently lost a loved one.

    imagine what a fancy office with state of the art wallpapers, furniture and state of the art robotic coffee making machines you could add to your office with $130M funding

    Part of me thinks that that before they gave the $130M they knew exactly how they'd get it back (thru some pre-arranged M&A) if it doesn't work out. Or at least that would be the smart thing to do.
