Ask HN: Is the race to AGI the new space race?

• dlcarrier 2y ago
  No Maybe you could say that getting useful output from AI in general is the next space race, but AGI, at least as it is commonly used, is a pretty arbitrary metric doesn't get us much. It would be like defining the space race as crossing Kármán line, which wasn't really a goal in and of itself.

    At least the Karman line has an objective, measurable definition. Whatever "AGI" might mean depends critically on what general intelligence means.

      Since the V-2 rocket passed the Kármán line during WWII, I wonder if dlcarrier is pointing out that the line was passed before there was any space race and before Kármán proposed that boundary?
