I think it's funny and telling that they've used the word "declare" where what they are really doing is "claim".
These guys think they are prophets.
- cool_man_bob 1y ago> These guys think they are prophets. You say this somewhat jokingly, but I think they 100% believe something along those lines.
- danans 1y ago>> Whether you are an enterprise developer or BigTech in the US you are on average making twice the median income in your area. There is usually no reason for you not to be stacking cash. Accidental misquote?
- whamlastxmas 1y agoIt goes on to say it'll be reviewed by independent third party so I think "declare" is accurate, they're declaring a milestone
- danans 1y agoI think the correct word is "propose".
- k9294 1y agoThey have a definition actually) “When AI generates $100 billion in profits” it will be considered an AGI. This term was defined in their previous partnership, not sure if it's still holds after the restructuring. https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/26/microsoft-and-openai-have-a-financial-definition-of-agi-report/ https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/26/microsoft-and-openai-have-...
- lm28469 1y agoWhich means that given enough time an LLM powered vending machine would be classified as AGI... interesting
- dandanua 1y agoWhy wait? Just let it bet $100 billions on red or black in a casino a couple of times, and voila!
- qnleigh 1y agoI wonder if they have more detailed provisions than this though. For example, if a later version of Sora can make good advertisements and catches on in the ad industry, would that count? Or maybe since it is ultimately an agreement about money and IP, they are fine with defining it solely through profits?
- torginus 1y agoThat is a staggering number - if an engineer makes $100k per year, and let's say OpenAI can do a 20% profit margin on running an engineer-equivalent agent, that means it needs $600B profit or 6 million fully-equivalent engineer years. I think you can rebuild human civilization with that. I feel like replacing highly skilled human labor hardly makes financial sense, if it costs that much.
- milkshakes 1y agohow much does an ai researcher make per year though?
- vdfs 1y agoOpenAI: I DECLARE AGI MS: I just wanted you to know that you can't just say the word AGI and expect anything to happen. OpenAI: I didn't say it. I declared it.
