Thanks for taking the time for some sober analysis in the midst of reactionary chaos.

I can't wait until everyone stops falling for the "AGI ubermodel end of times" myth and we can actually have boring announcements that treat these things as what they actually are: tools. Tools for doing stuff, that's it.

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe stuffing a computer with enough language and binary patterns is indeed enough to achieve AGI, but then, so what? There's no point in being right about this. Buying into this ridiculous marketing will get us "AGI" in the form of machines, but only because all the human beings have gotten so stupid as to make critical reasoning an impossibility.
