The shocking thing is that it's taken this long to happen, right?

It happens as soon as they can't get more investments, up until now they could live on investment money but now they need real profits.

Theyre desperate to meet those lofty revenue objectives they put in their spreadsheet model.

Its kinda comical seeing this play out. I still laugh at the deluded fools who think something even close to AGI is here or coming in the future. If that were true, why haven't we seen genius plays from OAI and Anthropic, progressively over-time, if intelligence rises as compute scales up? If anything we are seeing the opposite.

  • The "A" in "AGI" doesn't stand for "Apocalypse", you know.

    It made some sense as a goalpost when the frontier of "AI" was "a computer plays, specifically, Go really well", now that typical ones are quite general it's just a floating signifier people should probably stop using for anything.

    • I'm not sure that I'm more impressed with LLMs than I am with alpha go.

      Alpha taught itself how to play go by playing over and over again. It learned a new strategy never seen before. I find that a lot more intelligent than an static state LLM regurgitating for loops.
