"Learn to feel the AGI"

shades of

> Anticipating the arrival of this all-powerful technology, Sutskever began to behave like a spiritual leader, three employees who worked with him told us. His constant, enthusiastic refrain was “feel the AGI,” a reference to the idea that the company was on the cusp of its ultimate goal. At OpenAI’s 2022 holiday party, held at the California Academy of Sciences, Sutskever led employees in a chant: “Feel the AGI! Feel the AGI!” The phrase itself was popular enough that OpenAI employees created a special “Feel the AGI” reaction emoji in Slack.

From the Atlantic article. He seems a serious person but it's hard to take this circle seriously.

tbh it smells like they've brought in too much to their own hype.

Nothing OpenAI have done more recently suggest to me that they are closer to the AGI. They did create a bunch of other models with different input format that are probably based off pretty much the same thing. And it looks like those other models will be much more expensive to run and burn up their runway sooner.

Agreed. Honestly gpt4o is a massive disappointment. They made it multimodal, but it seems as dumb as ever reasoning wise. I think it's become pretty clear that we've reached diminishing returns with LLMs and AGI isn't coming. Some of OpenAI have realized this and have moved tool full on productization. That said, I do believe some of the people there have genuinely drunk the kool aid.
