Reading that thread it’s really interesting to me. I see how far we’ve come in a short couple of years. But I still can’t grasp how we’ll achieve AGI within any reasonable amount of time. It just seems like we’re missing some really critical… something…

Idk. Folks much smarter than I seem worried so maybe I should be too but it just seems like such a long shot.

This may sound harsh but I think some of these researchers have a sort of god complex. Something like "I am so brilliant and what I have created is so powerful that we MUST think about all the horrible things that my brilliant creation can do". Meanwhile what they have created is just a very impressive next token predictor.

"Meanwhile what they have created is just a very impressive speeder-up of a lump of lead."

"Meanwhile what they have created is just a very impressive hot water bottle that turns a crank."

"Meanwhile what they have created is just a very impressive rock where neutrons hit other neutrons."

The point isn't how it works, the point is what it does.

Whatever it is, over the last couple of years it got a lot smarter. Did you?
