At this point there's enough capital and talent being pumped into the industry that debating about whether and how we can reach AGI is moot.

Enough or not, LLMs have shown that you can train an extremely advanced fascimile of intelligence just by learning to predict data generated by intelligent beings(us), and with that we've got the possibly single biggest building block done.

To the alignment/regulation debate, it’s essential. If there is AGI potential, OpenAI et al are privatised Manhattan Projects. That calls for swift action.

If, on the other hand, the risk is less about creating mecha Napoleon and more about whether building Wipro analyst analogues that burn as much energy as small nations is economically viable, we have better things to deliberate in the Congress.
