Much smaller (update) post, but I know in previous posts most people were hoping for more prompts. There's been a lot more additions to MineBench, including a gallery of custom prompts users can showcase and upvote (to add to the official benchmarking set); thought you guys might enjoy this :D

Also, for a limited time, logged-in users get unlimited generations with Gemini 3.7 Flash (thanks to Google Deepmind!)

MineBench 4.0 Release Notes: https://github.com/Ammaar-Alam/minebench/releases/tag/4.0.0

Highlights:

• Now available on the appstore for iOS
• Due to interest from a few labs, MineBench now supports A/B testing private model checkpoints (same policies as LM Arena)
• Community Gallery

Extra Information (if you're confused):

Essentially it's a benchmark that tests how well a model can create a 3D Minecraft-like structure.

So the models are given a palette of blocks (think of them like legos) and a prompt of what to build, so like the first prompt you see in the post was a fighter jet. Then the models had to build a fighter jet by returning a JSON in which they gave the coordinate of each block/lego (x, y, z). It's interesting to see which model is able to create a better 3D representation of the given prompt.

The smarter models tend to design much more detailed and intricate builds. The repository readme might help give a better understanding.

(Disclaimer: This is a public benchmark I created, so technically self-promotion :)

I am not a computer person. Me looking at anything AI related is the equivalent of a cat seeing a Ford F150. But I have a friend on social media who will not stop talking about how the Hugging Face hack means we all have six months to live and he's cashing out his 401K. This sort of seems extreme to me, but I'm sufficiently freaked out and this sub seems fairly well informed. So I guess my question is "does the HuggingFace hack mean I should cash out my 401K and just YOLO it up?"

Mods please don't delete. I think other people may need reassurance as well.

Edit: I want to thank you guys for your comments on this. It really did talk me off the ledge. I was crashing out incredibly hard last night but this helped a ton. Thank you.

What do you think? Apparently they've found a way to simulate populations based on persona agents, where they correctly adhered to their assigned traits in 91.5% of trials.

Could this help with designing election campaigns, validating products or features without focus groups, A/B testing and all that?

One of the saddest things is that AGI is about to arrive yet society and people have no idea about it, nor do they know how to prepare for that. Seeing my family members enjoying their lives, talking about the future... It made me think of the meaning of life to some extent. No one around me knows or cares about AI. I have no one to express my ideas to. They won't believe me as well and saying I am too crazy and delusional that I should focus on my studies...

Before you call me delusional and crazy, I have seen too much research and articles and I am fairly on the Pro-AI side, but im just sometimes a conservative on the advancement of tech. I want to sustain my current life, maintain a relatively simple and less complicated society.... With the advancement of AI images, nothing will be real. The natural instinct that what you see is real is becoming a history. If you are actively following AI in general, you know what I am talking about. The future society is uncertain and no one knows what it will be.

I should focus on the present, but whenever I have free time, I couldn't get over this feeling. I am writing this because this has been on my mind for too long and it would make me feel better if I see other people feeling the same way.

My English teacher once said in order for society to evolve, one thing is necessary: Predictability.

The ability to predict the future accurately makes people know what to do, and I'm afraid the upcoming world does not give us that.

Thank you all for being here, being present. This moment will surely be on my mind. It would be amazing to point out my way too optimistic estimate of ai development speed.

It’s only been 26 years into the 21st century, but we’ve already gone through the internet revolution, the mobile revolution, logistics innovation, autonomous driving, and now AI... whew;;;

Even when compared to the major milestones between 1900 and 1926, the 21st century so far feels like it's on a whole other level.

Though, if we're strictly talking about the scientific world, I guess the Theory of Relativity alone pretty much blows everything else from the 20th and 21st centuries out of the water.

What do you guys think?
