I’ve seen this one a few times and it’s puzzled me a bit for a while now, I don’t think anyone in these companies think iterating on an LLM model alone is going to give them AGI

When Sam Altman and other techbros say that their LLMs will be AGI any minute now and the stocks keep going up then yes, they do believe it.

Yes, LLMs will be the way to present output in a human sounding format from some other AI implementation that is consistent and reliable. That isn’t what is currently in the works though, they are just throwing more and more resources at LLMs as if the techbros were right.
