Dean Ball: The math-solving unreleased OpenAI model is still dumber than a corporation
deanwball · x · 2026-10-08
Dean Ball argues that while the unreleased OpenAI model that solved the math problem is "smarter" than a randomly selected large corporation in some narrow academic sense, in most meaningful ways the corporation is vastly smarter and uses its intelligence far more effectively to accomplish things. The take plays into the ongoing debate about model intelligence versus organizational intelligence: models crack well-scored problems, while organizations coordinate resources and persistently achieve complex goals.
