Marc Andreessen argued that we've already reached AGI. He says that the top AI models give better answers than 99% of people he has access to, and he has access to some of the best people in their field. I'm getting more convinced.

Investor with vested interest in AI companies makes claim of reaching "AGI".

He is one of the last people to listen to about AGI. Unless the term "AGI" means something entirely different to him vs to independent researchers vs to CEOs, since the term has become entirely meaningless.

Personally I think this is very good. One of the hardest things out there is maintaining a society in the face of changing times and it's because law is dense and slow. I think, in the right hands, this could be huge.

It turns out everybody has at least one right hand, even the people we trust the least.

Incredible that the common people will be able to wrestle the right to rule of law away from the bloated legal caste, who have built themselves quite the moat.

The inaccessibility of justice is a huge driver of inequality. Any tools which bridge this gap will help make a more just society.

I’m not an AI stan by any means and certainly no fan of Andreessen, but using the term “clanker” immediately biases your statement and can discredit what is a well-referenced or well-meaning comment.

He would tell you NFTs were AGIs if it might get you to buy them.

Marc Andreessen has a strong financial incentive to feel this way and to convince others to feel this way.

I also think it’s easy to think that AI gives good answers if you don’t know the field well. In fields where I know the material, the answers are pretty variable and can be quite bad.
