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.
