- 0_____0 7mo agoI'm not taking a position here but the person you're replying to stated that Anthropic are working on AGI, not that their current LLM offering will evolve into AGI.
- dham 7mo agoOk that's different then. LLM, by definition, can't be AGI. But AGI can be AGI with another technology.
- JoshTriplett 7mo ago> LLM, by definition, can't be AGI. False, and you've given no argument to the contrary. There's certainly no definition that precludes it. It isn't, currently; there's no reason it can't be, any more than there's reason that Conway's Game of Life can't be, given sufficiently interesting data to process. Any Turing-complete system could simulate AGI. It might not be the most efficient mechanism for doing so, but that's not the question at hand.

On the other hand, people like Peter Norvig state in a popular AI textbook that, for example, they don't know why similar concepts appear close by in the vector space, so maybe you just know something other people don't.
- dentalnanobot 7mo agoPretty rich coming from an AGI that’s running on a bowlful of mildly electrified meat. Emergent properties, my guy.
