This line of thought doesn't work, because any company approaching AGI might be actively trying to hide that information from regulators and the military. Being the 1st AGI company is actually pretty risky.
- steveBK123 1y agoVCs are far too conditioned as hype men to hide the ball like that. After generations of boastful over-promising, do you really believe THIS time they are underpromising?
- foobiekr 1y agoHowever their actual actions resemble companies who know AGI isn’t even on the horizon and moreso they are acting as exactly as if they believe the AI hype bubble is coming to an end and they need to dump the stuff into the public markets asap. There really isn’t any other way to interpret OpenAI’s actions for the last few months. Sure it could all be a feint to hide their amazing progress. Or it could be what it looks like. Given the hype cycles of the last 20 years, I’m going with the second.
- j_timberlake 1y agoName any other company acting like that besides OpenAI. Or any person besides Sam Altman, the guy who screwed up OpenAI's structure/board/funding. You just have a narrative you want to be true, and one company half fits into that narrative.
