There's been a talk about how LLMs are only advancing in verifiable areas like math or coding, but that isn't what the data suggests. As models have gotten better at that, they are also better at solving business cases in unbounded fields, generating ideas, medicine, law, etc. Cool paper looking at how AIs solve unbounded, complex business problems in many fields by testing how well they can crack the cases we use to teach MBAs in business school: 1) AI already does extremely well across diverse business topics 2) Models are improving rapidly with time
