Will I think the "AI has a data bottleneck" people are dumb before the end of 2025?

NO

My current view is that synthetic data and/or RL is probably sufficient to get us to AGI, but I can respect people who think otherwise. If the gains of synthetic data and/or RL become so overwhelming at any point this year that I start to think data-naysayers are dumb, I will resolve this YES. Otherwise, I will wait until 2026 to resolve this NO. I won't trade on this market.

I was surprised by this one. I was expecting synthetic data to be a bigger theme this year and for demand for novel data sets to wane. This doesn't appear to be the case--at least not to the extent I was anticipating.

@SG what do you think

"AI has a data bottleneck" people are dumb

@Dulaman seems like a complete non-sequitur?

@DavidHiggs tell that to Gary Marcus

ChatGPT 5 was underwhelming for many people, and it was trained on 8 times as much data as GPT-4.

@Velaris because it's sharp

bought Ṁ500 NO

If the companies are currently somewhat bottlenecked on data, so they spend a lot of resources making their training procedure more sample efficient til the point where data is clearly no longer a bottleneck, am I right in thinking this would indicate the data-naysayers are not dumb? Ig there’s the subtlety where the people that remain data naysayers past the point where data stops being a bottleneck, are selected for for being dumb, so maybe they are currently not dumb but the problem is solved and the ones that remain end up being dumb.. uh

bought Ṁ50 YES

o3 is ridiculously good. I assume o4 exists but not released, so i buy more YES shares

bought Ṁ50 YES

I think that there is no bottleneck as there's a lot of non-public data that will find its way into training through partnerships, etc.

The idea of a bottleneck is partly based on a wrong assumption about data resources and their utilization to date.

Thinking of proprietary technical standards, etc.
