“Altman has said it’s better to talk about levels of progress toward this state of general intelligence rather than asking if something is AGI or not.”
2022: AGI in a year
2023: AGI in a year
2024: AGI in a year
2025: stop asking about AGI!
2022: AGI in a year

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told CNBC that artificial general intelligence is “not a super useful term.”
Sam Altman now says AGI, or human-level AI, is 'not a super useful term’ — and he's not alone
Computer science experts say it's better to focus on the more specialized use cases of AI.

Today I gave a talk at @tue.nl and presented my vision of how to use computational models of human behavior as interactive crash test dummies. I argue that only by using simulation we can develop technology that truly meets human needs.

So here we are... I'm sorry for the colleagues affected. We can't let these twisted arguments proliferate any longer and finally get coordinated as a field.
Mis/disinformation research officially cancelled.
Understanding the creation, content, distribution, and susceptibility is one of today’s key scientific and societal challenges.
Researching this is not free speech infringement. Such a claim is intentionally misleading.

Yesterday I had a nice little chat with @helliwood.bsky.social about our work at ScaDS.AI. The interview is part of a series called "Mobile Digital Classroom" that aims to promote digital education in schools across Saxony and get kids interested in science. Already excited to the final product!
