The latest models are natively multimodal. Gemini, GPT-4o, Llama 4. Same model trained on audio, video, images, text - not separate specialized components stitched together.

That's an important distinction. A machine could be super intelligent at solving real world practical tasks, better than any human, without being conscious. We don't have a proper definition of consciousness. Consciousness is infi

Then you are simply rejecting any attempts to refine the definition of AGI. I already linked to the Google DeepMind paper. The definition is being debated in the AI research community. I already explained that definition is too limited beca

I have read his story many years ago. He also designed the Z80. The point is, if he arrived in Bangladesh instead of California, he would have accomplished nothing notable.

I’m not wrong. It’s called Silicon Valley for a reason Since the DoE was established, education has only declined versus the rest of the world. America spends more money for less.
