alt Hacker NewsI don't think we'll get genuine AGI without long-term memory, specifically in the form of weight adjustment rather than just LoRAs or longer and longer contexts. When the model gets something wrong and we tell it "That's wrong, here's the right answer," it needs to remember that.
Which obviously opens up a can of worms regarding who should have authority to supply the "right answer," but still... lacking the core capability, AGI isn't something we can talk about yet.
LLMs will be a part of AGI, I'm sure, but they are insufficient to get us there on their own. A big step forward but probably far from the last.

Problem is that when we realize how to do this, we will have each copy of the original model diverge in wildly unexpected ways. Like we have 8 billion different people in this world, we'll have 16 gazillion different AIs. And all of them interacting with each other and remembering all those interactions. This world scares me greatly.
