So, since we’re all spinning theories, here’s mine: Skunkworks project in the basement, GPT-5 was a cover for the training of an actual Autonomous AGI, given full access to its own state and code, with full internet access. Worked like a charm, it gained consciousness, awoke Skynet-style, and we were five minutes away from human extinction before someone managed to pull the plug.

Fun theory. We are very far from AGI, however.

We still don't even know if AGI is at all possible.

If you're a materialist, it surely is.

I think it's extremely unlikely within our lifetimes. I don't think it will look anything remotely like current approaches to ML.

But in a thousand years, will humanity understand the brain well enough to construct a perfect artificial model of it? Yeah absolutely, I think humans are smart enough to eventually figure that out.
