Singularity means something very specific, if your AI can build a smarter AI then itself by itself, and that AI can also build a new smarter AI then you have singularity.
You do not have singularity if an LLM can solve more math problems then the average Joe, or if ti can answer more trivia questions then a random person, even if you have an AI better then all humans combined at Tic Tac Toe you still do not have a singularity, IT MUST build a smarter AI then itself and then iterate on that.
When I was at Cerebras, I fed in a description of the custom ISA into our own model and asked it to generate kernels (my job), and it was surprisingly good
And? Was it actually better then say the top 3 people in this field would create if they would work on it ? Because this models are better at css then me, so what? I am bad at css, but all the top models could not solve a math limit from my son homework so we had to use good old forums to have people give us some hints. But for sure models can solve more math limits then the average person who probably can't solve a single one.
And I agree, and a script might do a better job on some taks and you will not claim my script has reached singularity, right ?
