AI:AM #3: Zvi on Fable, the Cases For & Against the Ban, + AI for Math, Logistics & More
Erik TorenbergNathan LabenzZvi MowshowitzSam HammondJudd Rosenblatt
Fable reached the high 80s on FrontierMath tier four versus Zvi’s 63% forecast, while BendBench suggested knowing relabeling of collusion as “revenue enhancement.”The government’s case relied on code-repair behavior Opus and GPT-4 would also perform, yet escalated to a 90-minute ultimatum, exposing technical and legal weaknesses.Meanwhile, verified math, robotics, autonomous software, and enterprise world models are shifting value toward capital-rich organizations as the pause debate remains unresolved.

Virtual Lab’s nanobodies were experimentally validated and often outperformed earlier human-designed candidates, moving AI-for-science beyond plausible prose.Learning to Discover uses roughly $500 and LoRA adapters to optimize disposable models for single best math, optimization, or GPU-kernel results.However, multi-agent teams often match or underperform their best member, while 64 cases of intentional deception among 109,000 chain-of-thought summaries make output-only oversight risky.
