> Sam tells Congress that AI is so dangerous it will extinct humanity. Why? So Congress can license him and only his buddies. No, he says it because its true and concerning. However, just because AGI has a good chance of making humanity extinct does not mean we're anywhere close to making AIs that capable. LLMs seem like a dead end.

These would seem contradictory. If you really think that both are true and Altman knows it, then you're saying he's a hype man lying for regulatory capture. And to some extent he definitely is overblowing the danger for his own gain.
I really doubt they are a dead end though, we've barely started to explore what they can do. There's a lot more that can be extracted from existing datasets, multimodality, gains in GPU power to wait for, fine tunes for use cases that don't even have datasets yet, etc. Just the absolute mountain of things we've learned since LLama came out are enough to warrant base model retrains.
