They could fine tune it, use prompting or multiple pass reasoning, give it an internal python interpreter. Lots of options that would more fairly produce results closer to what this generation of compute plus model architecture is capable of.

I don't know how well that will do but i expect better than median human as these are the result google got who were using a weaker model than gpt-4.

Unfortunately, they didn't tell us anything about how they did the codeforces test. It sounds like they just tried zero-shot, had GPT-4 see the problem and immediately write code to solve it. But that's not humans solve codeforces problems, we sit down and think through the problem. In a more real world scenario, I think GPT-4 would do way better at codeforces. Still not as good as a human, but definitely way better than their test.

It scores at the 5th percentile on codeforces. It can barely solve medium hard questions on leetcode.

Most software development doesn't need one to be good at anything mentioned above. But they do indicate ones ability to do leap of logic required to solve something like AGI. GPT-4 is not ready for that yet.

This argument is just socialism (which I'm in favor of BTW).

Governments control out lives, determining love and death. Therefore we should have the right, as a people, to control those governments. Thus arises democracy.

Businesses control or lives, determining what we can and can't acquire obvious those things necessary for life. Therefore we should have a right, as a population, to control business. Thus arises socialism.

The argument here is exactly the same. AI will have such a powerful impact on our lives that we the public deserve the right to control it and therefore it must be nationalized.
