It seems like Sam Altman has stopped talking about AGI, now he is planning on pushing ads and porn. He is getting desperate.

He was always desperate.

But who could've known how this AI tech would run into hard limits like all other AI tech since the invention of computers?

Dude, it's a glorified database. It's not a AI breakthrough it's a database breakthrough. All we have made is a smart generative database. There is nothing AI about this. Machine learning is more AI than this know why because atleast it can learn patterns.

I'm 2-4 months from AGI, I'm clearly the better investment!

Ever notice how every time some tech oligarch publicly states how scarred they are of their own models a new round of burning capital starts?

AGI? Because GAI doesn't sound quite as marketable

Gullible@sh.itjust.works · 11 pts · 323d (1 reply)

This sent me down a small rabbit hole. As it turns out, agi was “coined” by like 20 unique projects and people over the last 70 years according to poorly sourced news articles on dozens of sites. Some of them seemed almost reputable. Looking at you, Forbes and medium.

Why even throw that in there? They must not offer their writers anywhere near enough time to properly research anything, and that really casts a shadow over them, in my eyes.

TootSweet@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 323d

Oh yeah. That was me who coined the term "AGI".

lurch@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 323d

Nah, that term is more scientific and at least 25 years old. At the time nobody would have cared about the order, but now (in the last few years) people would probably care, because of confusion with GenAI.

Sam Aman is 5 months away from intelligence please give him 500 billion dollars bro you don't need the money please

Oh they don't even need cash any more. Now they just announce investments and pump up the stock price - no actual money changes hands.
