This is wild: OpenAI is basically declaring that AGI is here. https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/989601/o... “If we fast-forward a couple of years, and we look back and say, ‘When was it, really, that AGI was created?’ I think it’s going to be about this time, and I think it might be about this model,” OpenAI president Greg Brockman said during a Thursday press briefing. Later in the call, he added,…

Why does he say what he feels? Is that how leading figures in the space define AGI - a gut feeling? What are the usual definitions and how can we test for it? Is there something like a Turing test for AGI?

The “I” alone is already not well-defined. That’s why.

I hope they don't `fable` it and block people from doing they daily jobs with it, by introducing huge amounts of restrictions that are not really needed.

Argh! I hit a wrong keyboard shortcut and moved the entire thread. Please stand by... it will all come back shortly

Luckily there’s a standard keyboard shortcut for “undo” as well. ;)

I almost feel like I need just as much healthy skepticism toward hn comments that have the automatic reflex of dismissing performance gains, as much as I need a similar form of skepticism toward AI claims. It feels like (from what I'm understanding) the harnessed result on ARC-AGI-3 is not exactly playing by the normal rules that would tell us how much of a leap this really is. Nothing wrong with harnesses, but if there's one thing they aren't, it's an indicator of generality in performance gains.

So I think it's a bit of a misleading signal and we should wait for more independent vetting. I think the middle ground is that these are improvements worthy of the "GPT-6" label but still well short of a true "this is AGI moment" that would truly put the question to rest.

What does 'Astra' here mean? Surely they must be referring to the Latin word. Because in another dead language of antiquity, Sanskrit, it means "weapon". Which would be a bit too on-the-nose.

Luna, Terra, Sol, Astra. Though Sun is also a star, should have called it Galaxy or something.
