I don't think so. It's just a bubble. There's no AI, we have fancy chatbots. If someone were to achieve AGI, maybe they win, but it's unlikely to exist. Or if it does, we can't define it.

What would you say if the IMO Gold Medal models from DeepMind and OpenAI turn out to be generalizable to other domains including those with hard-to-verify reward signals?

Hint: Researchers from both companies said publicly they employ generalized reasoning techniques in these IMO models.

Nice. That's really great progress. Maybe a model will be able to infer what consciousness is.

"Fancy chatbots" is a classic AI use case. ELIZA is a well-known example of early AI software.

I'm not familiar with ELIZA. Technical terms mean things. AI has no technical meaning. It's difficult to distinguish what people mean when they say AI, but as technical people I assume we know AGI doesn't exist yet and we don't know if it ever will.
