It is pretty amazing that the first 1,000 words recovered from the charred scrolls at Herculaneum taught us two new things: where Plato was buried and that he was sold as a slave by the Spartans. Usually, most data you get is boring, a promising start! https://

AI Needs Independent Testing Standards Like Consumer Reports
By
–
We need a Consumer Reports or Underwriters Lab for AI testing. All the public benchmarks are game-able and mostly not useful measures of things LLMs do. We need secret test batteries for subject areas (coding, reasoning, human conversation, writing) and secret red team tests, too
