A Reddit post recommends the latest Dwarkesh podcast episode featuring Base-10's Charlie O'Neill, who argues Kimi and GLM are 'almost objectively' better than Opus 5.
The poster highlights that Dwarkesh, historically a skeptic, has come around to the evidence that we're well on the way to AGI and even RSI. The episode dispels the 'plateaued due to lack of data' mythology — there was plenty of low-hanging fruit a year ago — and extrapolates these trends forward. It also mocks the subreddit's growing AI-progress skepticism as 'lack of information and too much time on Reddit.'
