    Pro tip:

    If you have to make press releases to convince people AGI is here, it is not here.

    We already know AGI isn’t possible with LLM technology but looking past this, what I despise in the current state of AI tech journalism is the loop of:

    • AI stakeholder/spokesperson says something unrealistic
    • Journalist nods their head approvingly
    • Article is virtually an ad that recounts an event
    • Rinse and repeat

    Too many tech enthusiasts masquerading as ‘journalists’ who seemingly suffer from short-term memory loss.

    It’s like i’m seeing the same information on repeat because ‘journalists’ fall for the same marketing tactics endlessly and do little to actually question what they hear.

        They probably just found a way for it to be more of an asshole in its response. Which in my opinion is pretty close as you can get to AGI. If you disagree well then fuck you!

      Do you remember when every 5 minutes it was a new super advanced battery technology that was going to be able to hold a hundred thousand gigawatts of power and was capable of fully recharging in two minutes. And it was still on lithium ion 20 years later.

    and OpenAI Thinks It May Kick Off the AGI Era

    Oh? Finally? Wasn’t it the same with the last one already? And the one before…

    Why does it remind me of Jehovah’s witnesses and the end of the world?

      Maybe is a weasel word when they know it isn’t. Also, they are trying to change the definition over time.

      Its iterative improvement but with the same risk of hallucinations and the same difficulty in giving it access to sensitive data or sensitive authority and it messes up significantly.

    These AI companies, including Google, should be sold for scrap and the benefits used to repair the damage that MAGA, tech bros, and the heritage foundation have done.
