AGI may use the same hardware, or same compute concepts.
But LLMs (like low/high pressure wing flight) will never result in AGI (you won't get to the moon with a wing).
You're making my point.

You're making my point.
Your point is good enough any spaceflight, despite some quibbling from commenters.
But I haven't seen where you make a compelling argument why it's the same thing in AI/AGI.
In your old analogy, we're all still the guys on the ground saying it'll work. You're saying it won't. But nobody has "been to space" yet. You have no idea if LLMs will take us to AGI.
I personally think they'll be the engine on the spaceship.
I thought your point was terrible about aerospace. And since you're insisting I follow you further into the analogy, I think it's terrible here.
LLMs may be a key building block for early AGI. The jury is still out. Will a LLM alone do it? No. You can't build a space vehicle from fins and fairings and control systems alone.
O1 can reach pretty far beyond past LLM capabilities by adding infrastructure for metacognition and goal seeking. Is O1 the pinnacle, or can we go further?
In either case, planes and rocket-planes did a lot to get us to space-- they weren't an unrelated evolutionary dead end.
> Yet powered flight has nothing to do with space travel, no connection at all.
Fully disagree.
