I'm so, soooo sick of people claiming so certainly AGI will be there in X time. You don't know. Nobody knows. Anyone claiming they know are full of shit. Stop speaking in absolutes.
- charlieyu1 2y agoI still remember people said fusion energy will be available in a few decades, in a few decades ago.
- skeaker 2y agoThe rest of this comment chain aside, this is silly. "Someone predicted something wrong before so all predictions are sure to be wrong going forward."
- lordnacho 2y agoOn the other hand, we actually do have a computer, with access to all knowledge, in our pockets, right now. EDIT. The point of the comment is not to say that you will in fact have all knowledge available. There's guidelines about how you're supposed to read here on HN. The point was that this device that people could only dream of a few decades ago actually became available. Maybe it's worth reminding people that you used to not be able to sit on your butt at home and still access just about any undergraduate level material you could think of, along with a street map of everywhere, as well as a way to take pictures, deal with your finances, and a zillion other applications.
- phito 2y ago... Totally unrelated to what I said.
- lordnacho 2y agoThe point seemed to be that a lot of promised things did not appear. My point was that some did.
- shakna 2y agoAll knowledge? Hardly. A ton of the things I research just aren't available except in hard copy - and even then, there may be only three or four copies in the entire country.
- omg7584 2y agoYes and as it turns out, access to information wasn't the problem..
- atleastoptimal 2y agoI didn't speak in absolutes, I said 2-3 years, so there's a 1 year margin of error
