In their words
The transcript segments this claim was taken from
“the models when they were doing GSM-AK,”
“when they figured out how to do GSM-AK,”
“that would take a human mathematician about five seconds to do a GSM-AK problem.”
“So this is grade school math,”
“grades K through 8.”24:33Report a misattribution
