There is speculation that Ilya Sutskever's startup 'Safe Superintelligence' may be backed by the Israeli government to build artificial superintelligence. They are very secretive and require people to leave their phone in a Faraday cage before entering their offices, one of which is in Tel Aviv. They are already valued at $30 billion.
Another superintelligence startup, Reflection AI, was founded by former DeepMind engineers who helped create AlphaGo. They just raised $130 million. Reflection's lofty mission focuses on building tools that have full autonomy, rather than simply serving as a kind of co-pilot or assistant.

This wouldn't be an interesting observation if it weren't for the fact that many people insist that current AI models are useless. Yet more and more mathematicians are claiming that they are useful, or on the verge of being useful.
Also keep in mind that o3-mini-high isn't even the best existing model. And even the best model will pale in comparison to what will be available by the end of the year.
So all in all a pretty good assist from [o3-mini-high]; it made a mistake that I corrected, but I also made a mistake that it corrected, and code that would have taken perhaps an hour of my time on my own was generated, tested, modified, and reported in maybe ten minutes.
