We are nowhere close to AGI. Modern neural networks are just guessing machines.

why keep acting on the assumption that the market is rational? we have so many examples of the opposite

The biggest sign of a bubble is that nobody thinks it’s a bubble. That’s how it keeps expanding irrationally

LLMs like ChatGPT are not true AI, they are statistics applied to language. It’s about reproducing patterns found in the training data. The intelligence lies in the patterns themselves, and those patterns were made by human brains. The biggest problem AI has is sifting out relevant data from noisy, open-ended, and incomplete data. For AI to do what we want, to reach human-level intelligence, it has to be able to do this at least as well as a human. We are good at this because finding relevant information in noisy, open-ended, and incomplete data is why life developed a nervous system in the first place. Evolution did something very similar to what our training algorithms do in computers, but to get the “sifting software” running between your ears, it ran that algorithm on trillions of test subjects with full-spectrum sensory input, across an entire planet, for four billion years. We have nothing even in the ballpark of that. We don’t have a planet-wide evolutionary system to run on, and we don’t have billions of years to do it. We are nowhere close to real human-level AI, and that’s the hard truth these companies don’t want to accept.

The Internet was also considered a bubble, I was there. I had older people tell me how the internet is just some hype and will go away on its own. AI will go the same way, from hype and revolution to consolidation and being a tool that will be used.

5% is a ridiculous overestimate. LLMs are not the path towards AGI, just a larger step. Its like suggesting that with enough investment the wright brothers would have gotten to the moon

Not sure AGI could even be achieved simply because of data degradation. An AI cannot ‘experience’ therefore can’t generate new pure data, it’s always going to rely on us because we can see, feel, emote, smell etc.

This video raises an important question about the massive investment in AI and its potential risks. With so much money on the line, it's crucial to consider whether the AI boom is sustainable or just another bubble. Definitely worth watching to get a clearer perspective.

A fascinating look into the AI investment frenzy. Will the hype pay off, or are we headed for another bubble? Definitely worth considering the long-term impact on both the tech world and the economy.

capitalism is out of ideas. silicon valley is out of growth products! the rate of profit is falling and politics feels like it's failing so we're trying to create god in the computer so he can fix capitalism and override politics by acting as the one true ruler

The problem with the argument is that people perceive AI to be intelligent because the way in which most people interact with it does not actually require real intelligence. In the IT world, AI is basically just used as a really fast script kiddy.

AGI is not having an AI that is more inteligent that every human being, is just having an AI intelligent enough to do every possible task. Is a race bcs if one company gets to AGI it will mean they could sell it and other companies won’t need workers anymore, it’s a race for monopoly

I think they are trying to overtake AI market through building AI infrastructure in the west and globally. Since the Chinese AI is primarily focused on Local AI consumption

There's no way there'll be a monopoly. These companies trade their best resources constantly, there's no hidden recipe for reaching the "next level" outside of massive compute + resource ingestion, of which all these can reach at some point.
