@GaryMarcus On the other hand, Claude Sonnet 4 just gave me the Java code to solve the Tower of Hanoi in a recursive fashion with well documented Java statements.

Therein lays the path to ASI.

Remind me. How long a task is Tower of Hanoi with 8 disks?

[Not one of the models here can do it without special prompting. Classical AI can do it in less than a minute.]

The statement is part of a discussion on AI capabilities, specifically regarding solving the Tower of Hanoi problem. It suggests that finding solutions online is easy, implying skepticism about the AI's achievement. The tone is slightly dismissive, questioning the significance of the AI's task.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not cause harm but questions the significance of the AI's task.
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    It does not promote understanding or empathy, as it dismisses the AI's achievement. [-1]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    Engages in constructive criticism by questioning the AI's capabilities without personal attacks. [+1]
