RyanGreenblatt · x · 2026-07-20

He highlights: (1) Doing well on tests doesn't mean excelling in all valued cognitive capabilities. (2) What matters is not test scores but whether models surpass humans in almost every domain. Responding to Noahpinion, he notes AI may reshape the role of intelligence in success, but the key question is: Will AI make thinking optional?
