- cbozeman 8mo agoWell in fairness, the "G" does stand for "General".
- actionfromafar 8mo agoShow me a robotic kitten then, in six months. As smart and learning.
- dsr_ 8mo agoIn fairness, they redefined it away from "just like a person" to "suitable for many different tasks".
- briansm 8mo agoI think this lack of 'G' (generality, or modality) is the problem. A human visualizes this kind of problem (a little video plays in my head of taking a car to a car wash). LLM's don't do this, they 'think' only in text, not visually. A proper AGI would have have to have knowledge in video, image, audio and text domains to work properly.
- misnome 8mo agoBut “PhD level” reasoning a year ago.
- notahacker 8mo agoThere's probably a comedy film with an AGI attempting to take over the world with its advanced grasp of strategy, persuasion and SAT tests whilst a bunch of kids confuse it by asking it fiendish brainteasers about carwashes and the number of rs in blackberry. (The final scene involves our plucky escapees swimming across a river to escape. The AIbot conjures up a speedboat through sheer powers of deduction, but then just when all seems lost it heads back to find a goat to pick up)
- simonask 8mo agoThis would work if it wasn’t for that lovely little human trait where we tend to find bumbling characters endearing. People would be sad when the AI lost.
- layer8 8mo agoWhat’s wrong with having a bittersweet movie?
- notahacker 8mo agoMaybe infusing the AI character with the boundless self confidence of its creators will make it less endearing :)
- GeoAtreides 8mo agoThere is a Star Trek episode where a fiendish brainteaser was actually considered to genocide an entire (cybernetic, not AI) race. In the end, captain Picard choose not to deploy it.
- OneMorePerson 8mo agoThis theme reminds me of Blaine the Mono from the Dark Tower series
- throwway123 8mo agoThere is a Soviet movie, "Teens in the Universe" [0], where teens cause robots' brains to fry by giving them linguistic logical puzzles. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teens_in_the_Universe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teens_in_the_Universe
- simonw 8mo agoIn the excellent and underrated The Mitchells vs the Machines there's a running joke with a pug dog that sends the evil robots into a loop because they can't decide if it's a dog, a pig or a loaf of bread.
- hypeatei 8mo agoYes, get ready to lose your job and cash your UBI check! It's over.
- prmph 8mo agoLaughable indeed. One thing that my use of the latest and greatest models (Opus, etc) have made clear: No matter how advanced the model, it is not beyond making very silly mistakes regularly. Opus was even working worse with tool calls than Sonnet and Haiku for a while for me. At this point I am convinced that only proper use of LLMs for development is to assist coding (not take it over), using pair development, with them on a tight leash, approving most edits manually. At this point there is probably nothing anyone can say to convince me otherwise. Any attempt to automate beyond that has never worked for me and is very unlikely to be productive any time soon. I have a lot of experience with them, and various approaches to using them.
- moogly 8mo agoThey seem to have stopped talking about AGI and pivoted to ads and smut.
- bigfishrunning 8mo agoThis was probably wise, because ads and smut are well understood, and known to exist.
