I wish people would knock this off. There is zero path to AGI at the moment — and all the Anthropic/pentagon Sam Altman/AI-skynet stuff is scaring people into being fearful (and outright ignorant) to the actual uses of this probabilistic NPL tool.

You can't use AI atm without a human with proper knowledge spot checking and directing it. We should market it that way.

The current theme is that agi may not be definable, and an ai which matches humans on all economically relevant tasks is close enough for business purposes.

Billions spent on RL may be good enough to beat human performance.
