Given that a lot of HN users don't read a 5 paragraph article before commenting on it, I wonder how many will listen to a 2+ hour podcast. I would like to hear from someone who has listened to the whole thing, but maybe there should be a post called "Ask HN: Is AGI being achieved incrementally?"

Betteridge's Law of Headlines will answer your reformulated post title accurately: no.
The law doesn't apply:
> Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word "no".
It's a statement not a question.

The reformulated headline in the comment is a question, so that does apply to the reformulated one... which the quote was in response to.
Well, actually, the reformulated one was for an "Ask HN" submission title, not a headline. ;)
> Headline: a heading at the top of an article or page in a newspaper or magazine.
I don't think an "Ask HN" fits the definition.

I'd like to point out that Betteridge's Law is, like any other such "law", kind of tongue-in-cheek. It's not serious.
The real point of my earlier comment was that I was voicing an opinion that it is not the case that we are "achieving AGI incrementally", and I referenced Betteridge's Law as a way of making that point.
