Latest ORCA benchmarks are out and they provided us an early glimpse. Surprise, LLMs are still not that good at math, getting a C grade. However, most have gotten better since last time, with the exception of Grok, which slipped slightly:

If AI causes massive unemployment, we will have a depression, thus no one will be able to pay for AI services, and the AI companies, which have huge debts, will go bankrupt. So, as seems to be common these days, all of this is nonsense.
