I worked with some former Microsoft people. It was ridiculous. So much drama. They were constantly pushing initiatives that made no sense. They cared more about their weird culture than they did about making great products. I think that Ballmer broke Microsoft. His endless stacked-ranking made people focus on corporate politics and resume padding over quality.
That’s better, but you’re still just defining things such that you have to be correct.
Humans spend 90% of their time just predicting the next token. All we need is to mix in a little bit more reasoning and bam, AGI!
See how annoying and hollow that rhetorical technique is?
The fact is that we have no idea whatsoever. We might reach AGI next week. We might never reach AGI. The Chinese government might be sitting on AGI right now. We have no idea, and this is completely new territory that has caused us to question our very understanding of intelligence.
