I had a really good friend on MySpace that I lost touch with. I think he was a little paranoid, we didn’t speak much and he was always looking over his shoulder. His name was Tom.

That is a very VC baiting title. But it’s doesn’t appear from the abstract that they’re claiming that LLMs will develop to the complexity of AGI.

Do you have a non paywalled link? And is that quote in relation to LLMs specifically or AI generally?

largely based on the notion that LLMs will, with continued scaling, become artificial general intelligence

Who said that LLMs were going to become AGI? LLMs as part of an AGI system makes sense but not LLMs alone becoming AGI. Only articles and blog posts from people who didn’t understand the technology were making those claims. Which helped feed the hype.

I 100% agree that we’re going to see an AI market correction. It’s going to take a lot of hard human work to achieve the real value of LLMs. The hype is distracting from the real valuable and interesting work.

Hosting local has become even more important with the vulnerability of submarine cables.

Yay! I’m in! I’m very excited about this

What about AI agents that do shoplifting for you?

I’ve used Thorium in the past and thought it was decent. But given Google’s updates to the chromium project I’ve moved away from chromium based browsers.

Generative AI is great for loads of programming tasks like helping create regular expressions or syntax conversions between languages. The main issue I’ve seen in codebases that rely heavily on generative AI is that the “solutions” often fix today’s bug while making future debugging more difficult. Generative AI makes it easy to go fast in the wrong direction. Used right it’s a useful tool.

Commercial social media is a cancer on society. Facebook has convinced adults to commit atrocities. There is no doubt it’s harming children.

I agree. Very few people in industry are claiming that LLMs will become AGI. The release of o1 demonstrates that even OpenAI are pivoting from pure LLM approaches. It was always going to be a framework approach that utilizes LLMs.

This is clearly AI. That baby goat is obviously a terminator sent from the future to assist particular humans in destroying humanity.
