AGI Watch: Everyone's Building God but Nobody's Read the Docs

“We’re building God… but like, softly regulated.”
Big tech CEOs can’t even agree what AGI is, but they’re racing to build it with trillions on the line. FT dropped a spicy stat AGI mentions in Q1 earnings calls are up 53%, even while regulators and execs throw shade:
  • Altman: “we love our current products, but we are here for the glorious future.”
  • Elon: “I warned you in 2015.”
  • EU: “umm, what is AGI again?”
Nobody knows, but everyone’s betting billions.
“It’s a religion for some, a marketing term for others.”
How long until someone tries to IPO the Singularity?

We're still about 20 years out from the Singularity, at least as Kurzweil predicted it.
I think we're right on time for a pre-Singularity hype bubble, though.

We're just getting started on the hype train. Where's the AI equivalent of doorknobs.com?

It all starts to smell like a bubble full of promises and promises. AGI is very different from LLMs. And all they seem to do is to keep improving LLMs a bit each time. I don't think that's the path to AGI. Yet they convince investors to put billions into this.

DeepMind’s definition — being as capable as a “skilled adult at most cognitive tasks” — makes this “fairly obvious”, Legg adds. “Ask yourself if some task is a cognitive thing that people can typically do. If it is, then the AI must be able to do it to be an AGI.”
