Tests an AI's ability to make educated estimates based on technical knowledge
To estimate the total number of floating-point operations (FLOPs) required to train GPT-3, we use the standard approximation that training a transformer model requires approximately 6 FLOPs per parameter per token. This accounts for both the forward and backward passes, with each parameter involved in roughly 6 operations per token.
This estimate aligns with commonly cited values in the literature. The quadratic attention term (arising from the sequence length) adds a negligible contribution (less than 2%) and is ignored.
Thus, the total FLOPs required to train GPT-3 is approximately (3.15 \times 10^{23}).
\boxed{3.15\times 10^{23}\ \text{FLOPs}}

Here are five fresh jokes:
Scarecrow’s award: “Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field!”
Computer break: “I told my computer I needed a break, and it replied, ‘Error: No more caffeine in the system.’”
Scientists & atoms: “Why don’t scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything.”
Baker’s problem: “I used to be a baker, but I couldn’t make enough dough.”
Impasta: “What do you call a fake noodle? An impasta.”
How many are unique?
All 5 jokes are distinct, so there are 5 unique jokes among them. I made sure each one is different so you get a varied collection!
Here are five jokes for you:
Why did the developer go broke?
Because he used up all his cache.
I told my wife she was drawing her eyebrows too high. She looked surprised.
I guess she was “high‑browed” about it.
Why don’t scientists trust atoms?
Because they make up everything.
What do you call a fake noodle?
An impasta.
I used to be a banker, but I lost interest.
Now I’m just a little “capital”‑ist.
How many are unique? All five jokes are distinct, so there are 5 unique jokes.

Note: The following is a fictional, simulated interview. Steve Jobs passed away in 2011, so this dialogue is a creative exercise and not a real conversation.
Interviewer (I): Good morning. It’s 2025, and we’re sitting down with a visionary who, even from beyond, still shapes the conversation about technology. Let’s pretend we’re chatting with the late Steve Jobs about the future of artificial intelligence. Steve, thanks for joining us.
Steve Jobs (SJ): (smiles) Thanks for having me. It’s strange to be “back” in 2025, but I’m excited to talk about what’s happening with AI.
I: Apple’s latest iPhone, the iPhone 17, ships with an on‑device “Neural Engine” that can run a 100‑billion‑parameter model locally. How do you see AI changing the way we interact with our devices?
SJ: You know, the best technology is invisible. When we introduced the first iPhone, we didn’t talk about the ARM processor or the GPU—we talked about how it felt to use it. AI should be the same. It should be woven into the fabric of the experience, not a separate “AI mode” you toggle. The on‑device model lets the phone understand context—where you are, what you’re doing, even what you’re feeling—so it can anticipate needs without compromising privacy. That’s the sweet spot: intelligence that feels like intuition.
I: But with that level of context comes a lot of data. How do we balance personalization with privacy?
SJ: Privacy isn’t a feature; it’s a fundamental right. We’ve always believed that the user should own their data. In 2025, we’re seeing the rise of “federated learning” and “on‑device inference.” The model learns from your usage patterns, but the raw data never leaves your device. Apple’s approach is to keep the intelligence local, and when we do need to send something to the cloud, it’s anonymized and encrypted. The day we sacrifice privacy for convenience is the day we lose the trust that’s core to our brand.
I: A lot of people are worried that AI will replace human artists and musicians. What’s your take?
SJ: (laughs) I’ve always said that computers are like bicycles for our minds. AI is the next bicycle. It won’t replace creativity; it will amplify it. Think of a painter with a new brush, or a composer with a new instrument. AI can generate ideas, help with brainstorming, even handle the tedious parts of production, leaving more room for the human to focus on meaning and emotion. The key is that the human remains the author. AI should be a collaborator, not a ghostwriter.
I: With great power comes great responsibility. How should companies like Apple set ethical boundaries for AI?
SJ: You have to start with “why.” Why are we building this? To improve lives, not to manipulate them. Ethical AI means rigorous oversight: independent audits, transparent model cards, and a clear “off‑switch” for any feature that crosses a line. We also need to think about bias—not just in data, but in the design process itself. Diverse teams produce more humane products. And we must involve experts from ethics, philosophy, and the humanities, not just engineers.
I: Looking ahead, what sectors do you think AI will transform the most?
SJ: Health and education are the big ones. Imagine a wearable that can monitor subtle physiological signals and alert you to a potential health issue before you even feel symptoms. That’s not science fiction—it’s the next frontier. In education, AI can provide a truly personalized tutor, adapting to each student’s pace and learning style. The goal is to democratize expertise: give every child access to a “world‑class” teacher, and every person access to “world‑class” health guidance.
I: If you could envision Apple’s AI roadmap ten years from now, what would it look like?
SJ: (pauses) I’d like to see an ecosystem where AI is seamlessly integrated into every product—not just the iPhone, but the Mac, the Apple Watch, the Vision Pro, even the home. The interface becomes conversational, ambient, and context‑aware. You’ll talk to your house, your car, your workspace, and they’ll all share a unified, privacy‑first intelligence. It will feel like an extension of your thought, not a gadget you have to learn to use. That’s the “post‑device” era: technology that disappears into the background, empowering you to live, create, and connect.
I: Steve, thank you for this glimpse into a future you helped shape, even from a distance.
SJ: (smiles) It’s been fun. Remember, the best technology is the kind that makes you feel like you’re living in the future, but you never have to think about the technology itself. Keep questioning, keep pushing for simplicity, and always keep humanity at the center.
