alt Hacker NewsWe're nowhere close to AGI and don't have a clue how to get there. Statistically averaging massive amounts of data to produce the fanciest magic 8-ball we've made yet isn't impressing anyone.
If you want doom and gloom that's plentiful in any era of history.

I already consider Claude code an AGI and I'm among the biggest AI haters on this website. If you haven't seen Claude code do anything impressive then you're either not subscribed to it or are willfully ignorant. Powerful AGI is clearly coming, if not 3 years from now at most 20.

What’s your objective ‘threshold’ or a set of capabilities that would compel you to accept a mind as an AGI?

Do you have an argument?

You have to have a clue about where it is to know that we are nowhere close.

I'm very impressed. Gobsmacked even. Bill Gates just called AI "the biggest technical thing ever in my lifetime." And it isn't just Bill and me.
