    AGI hasn't arrived, all we have is Artifical General Marketing

      For me, AGI is here.

      ASI is not here, but AGI is.

      A few years back if you asked me to build a system and just name the price, my question would be: What should it be able to answer? Whatever i want. I wouldn't have an idea how to build a system like this.

      Today we do.

      Would you add any context to your comment to even have an argument we can discuss?

        If Astra is AGI, then GPT 4 was AGI too. There's no qualitative difference. It can write poetry and role play with you, and code snippets, and you can run those code snippets if they're in bash format and boom, you have an agent.

        But if that's AGI then it's a meaningless term; it's just a martketing gimmick. Which is entirely my point.

          There is a significant qualitative difference, very obvouse one too.

          The complexity of tasks GPT-6 can do are not compareable to GPT-4. We see this daily. From CVEs which became a real problem after GPT-4, generic tool use (blender, paint, etc.), agentic work (GPT-4 was at a minute or so, GPT-6 can do hours).

          They broke through significant barriers in a short period of time. I would def count the agentic quality of doing hours of work as one of the main proofs.
