It's clever and funny, but nobody is legitimately near AGI, and their own AML Corp link proves Altman believes as much:
> Achieving AGI, he conceded, will require “a lot of medium-sized breakthroughs. I don’t think we need a big one.”
> At the Snowflake Summit in June 2025, Altman predicted that 2026 would mark a breakthrough when AI systems begin generating “novel insights” rather than simply recombining existing information. This represents a threshold he considers critical on the path to AGI.
Though I'm sure they'll try to change the charter before we get to that point, but yeah.
We're not near AGI? Personally, I think we've passed it, given that LLMs are now generally more competent than the average person on average.
