We will have something that we ourselves define to be AGI, sure, but then it's easy to hit any goal that way. Is that machine really intelligent? What does that word even mean? Can it think for itself? Is it sentient? Similar to AI, AGI is going to be a new industry buzzword that you can throw at anything and mean nothing.
You're making me think of the recent "Hoverboards".
That’s crazy money for a vaporware seed round, isn’t it?
All three of these are off the charts.

> Now we have a fairly concrete idea of what a potential AGI might look like - an RL agent that uses a large transformer. Any resources on that? I have a feeling that RL might play a big role in the first AGI, too, but why transformers in particular?
Transformers have gradually taken over in every other ML domain.
I wonder if Carmacks moral compass is in order. First he sticks around at Facebook, now he endangers humanity with AGI. And i'm only half joking.
There is a story in “Masters of Doom” about Carmack getting rid of his cat because “she was having a net negative effect on my life”. That’s cold.
(also cats are extremely destructive beasts)
Carmack gave his opinions about AGI on a recent Lex Fridman interview. He has some good ideas.
I'm very optimistic for near-term AGI (10 years or less). Even just a few years ago most in the field would have said that it's an "unknown unknown", we didn't have the theory or the models, there was no path forward and so it was impossible to predict. Now we have a fairly concrete idea of what a potential AGI might look like - an RL agent that uses a large transformer. The issue is that unlike supervised training y…

Does AGI implies the technological singularity and if not, why not?
b) Even if we say "a human being level of intelligence, whatever that means", the answer is still a maybe. For a singularity you need a system that can improve its ability to improve its abilities, which may require more than general intelligence, and will probably require other capabilities.
