iamtrask: agent stability benchmarks measure stability, not intelligence
iamtrask · x · 2026-11-10
Responding to a discussion of an agent stability/continuity benchmark, iamtrask cautions that such graphs measure stability rather than intelligence: a while(True) loop is already infinitely stable on that chart, yet not intelligent by itself. Long-run stability is an important factor on the road to a singularity, but not the only requirement.
