artificial general intelligence

“I would say if we are aiming for AGI, there is a token crisis, but if we are aiming for useful small models, I don't think there is a token crisis.”

“The trick is, if the output is the same as a human, then I'm happy, basically. I don't really care about what's going on inside. And so it feels like caring about the inside is like a pretty high bar. Like, why do you care? It's kind of like the plane thing, l…”

“The open source thing will be very much in line with getting to AGI, because open source has that, like natural selection effect. Like, if a better open source model comes, Really no one says, huh, I don't want to use it because there are ecosystem effects, I'…”

“The whole process of, like, how we think we got to AGI will be continuous and not, like, not discontinuous”

“I think agents are just absolutely the correct long-term direction, right? You just go to find what AGI is, right? You're like, hey, like, Well, first off, actually, I don't love AGI definitions that involve human replacement because I don't think that's actua…”

“In some sense, the big AI companies are incentivized and interested in building AGI internally, and giving everybody else a child-proof application.”

“So I believe that the API is kind of our broadest vehicle for distributing AGI. You know, we're building some first party products, but they'll never reach every niche in the world and kind of every corner in community.”

“The simplest way to achieve AGI is literally just record the re-actuatory of every human being and just put them together, you know, like what do you have thought about? What do you have done? Let's say on the computer, right? Imagine like solid experiment. Li…”

“I'm not optimistic On us actually patching OAuth, because I agree with you ultimately, like we would want to patch OAuth, because the new account thing is kind of a cludge. It's really a hack. You would want to patch OAuth to have more granular access control …”

“I think the odds, the timeline for AGI has certainly been pushed out, right?”

“It seems likely to me that, you know, at first and something that is AGI will be good in digital domains you know, because it's software. So if you think about something like AI discovering a new say like pharmaceutical therapy, the barrier to that is probably…”

“And I found that, like, the subject is pretty evergreen, because we're not, you know, over the last year and a half, like, the same principles apply. And, you know, we're not really talking about Like, you know, using specific tools and APIs is more of a gener…”

“Now I know that sounds kind of like a weird question, but my current hypothesis that AGI will be heavily scaffolded. And why do you have that? Well, my hypothesis is that you're going to need different components that are working together in order to get the e…”

“Because our hypothesis and our definition of AGI is as long as we can come up with problems that humans can do and AI cannot, then we do not have AGI. And then the flip side of that is also true, which is When us as ArcPrize, we're like, we consider ourselves,…”

“Any AGI definition that involves money has ulterior motives. I mean, simple as that. Money has nothing to do with intelligence, right?”

“My hypothesis is that when AGI is declared, it will happen via an interactive benchmark. We're not going to know that AGI is here just via a static benchmark.”

“The flip side, though, is that I think that the evidence has been away from having the final form factor, the AGI itself being a single model. But instead thinking about this menagerie of models that have different strengths and weaknesses.”

“I think AGI is also a religion. It has a problem of evil. We don't have enough intelligence. It has a solution, a deus ex machina. It has the second coming of Christ that AGI, the singularity is going to come. It's going to save humanity because we will now ha…”

“Yeah, I think, like, eventually, you know, we'll have AGI, and like, you're not gonna have to worry too much about how hard to think directly. It'll just, you know, we'll have a one tool that you always go to, and it knows how long to think for, and things lik…”

“If you just look at the AI progress now and five years ago, I think people would think that we already reached like AGI.”

“I think that, like, one reason why we work on these models is that we want to get to AGI, and, like, this was a right thing that we added AGI to the job posting, yeah. There is no, like, formal name of the team yet, but it's basically the Gemini theme Singapor…”

“It will be a transformer, I think. Like people, it depends on what you call it, but I think unless the paradigm shifts completely, which is, I mean, as a scientist, you cannot like completely say no to like that, this would never happen. But my feeling is that…”

“I think the best researchers in the world have this dilemma of, okay, I want to go all in on AGI, but it's the product usage revenue flywheel that keeps the revenue in the house to power all the GPUs to get to AGI. And so it does make you know, I think it sets…”

“It is the closest I've felt to AGI this year.”

“I think one thing that's becoming more clear is I think like coding agents are the kernel VGI, sort of everything is a coding agent.”

“And there, P zero from day one was coding. The reason the mechanism system there was, if we crack coding, Then we will crack AGI. You know, our mission is AGI. We want to get there safely. If we focus on coding, it's such a generally powerful capability that i…”

“Yeah, probably LLMs are going to run out at some point and they're not AGI and okay, we have maybe another 30 years of AI winter or something and then like the next paradigm really is actually the thing.”

“We think focusing on coding and long horizon software tasks is a path towards AGI because it forces us to solve the hard problems.”

“I don't think audio. Adds to that. I don't think it pushes us close to AGI. I think it is a necessary modality as you get close to AGI.”

“You look at any advanced civilization in science fiction, there's two twin pillar technology. One's AGI in some form, and the other is simulation.”
