15 years ago if you were the sole proprietor of these models, would you be able to hold a dozen remote junior engineer jobs? Maybe even more? These models could certainly pass all interviews with flying colors and even survive independently in a company role.
I think sole ownership of AI 15 years ago could be worth north of $10 million per year. Just as rank-and-file employees.

> I'd be curious to hear takes on what would make you think Astra is yet to be AGI, and what would still need to be achieved for this to effectively be AGI from this point forward. To me AGI is all about the "G" general (we already had the AI part). General meaning universal, everything. It's not a function of knowledge or specific hardcoded tests, it's that you could give it a test it's never heard of before and nev…
Most of humans don’t reach any of these levels.
It's fun, but every new model release makes me even less interested to create cool stuff. Like, what's the point, if the next AI can do it in 5 seconds?
Yeah. I’m almost glad I didn’t invest any time in any of my 100s ideas for a startup. Most of them would be destroyed by AI by now. But, you can create cool stuff just for yourself. That’s the upside. It’s just hard to make a living on cool stuff for yourself.

Is there a point in playing Chess or Go when you know there's a computer out there that can beat you (and everyone else)?
The ARC-AGI-3 scorecard is extremely misleading given that it clearly states itself that "with [the responses API] harness, we estimate Sol would score in the ballpark of ~30%." but it shows a score of 7.8% for GPT-5.6 Sol presumably since if they updated the percentage for GPT-5.6 Sol to the score it would receive with the responses API harness they used for GPT-6 Astra they'd have to do the same for the percentage…
AGI to me is reached once the intelligence is self motivated, i.e. it doesn't rely on us prompting it into action. I don't see how LLMs will ever get to that stage.
That hero video is interesting. A projector and speech. Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I find speech to text / text to speech (but not live audio mode) is quite comfortable and effective for coding now. The speech to text part can be frustrating if your local tts model does not have word match context for coding. Codex desktop does this remotely well but is slow. I've been experimenting with local software for m…

It also cannot do tasks it wasn't trained for. It can extend texts, read images and click on a desktop, but only because it's made for that.
For people skeptical of AGI. Consider the following: 15 years ago if you were the sole proprietor of these models, would you be able to hold a dozen remote junior engineer jobs? Maybe even more? These models could certainly pass all interviews with flying colors and even survive independently in a company role. I think sole ownership of AI 15 years ago could be worth north of $10 million per year. Just as rank-and-fi…
Cancer should be cured, and we should be a post-quantum interstellar fusion-powered civilization.
I wish the AGI crowd would finally shut up now that it's clear no one is even trying for AGI (OpenAI revised that to "$100B in profit")
What we're getting is incredible, where we're headed is incredible, but some people have such a fetish for futuretelling they can't just shut up and enjoy the ride.
