Human's own warning system is awful and we've already replaced it. E.g. without using technology to measure LDL you might have no idea you are at high risk of myocardial infarction.

No, I think that nothing happened that should reduce ones belief in llms leading to agi. If you think something like this happened tell me what (so something that was not true 2 years ago and is true now, e.g. „llm architecture is just stochastic parrot so it can’t lead to agi” is not that because it’s not something that happened recently).

Why would it be? It's really not a problem. Run sol 6 at pro effort with internet access. Do you really believe you will see hallucinations?

> I cant believe that the market still thinks LLMs are ever going to result in AGI.

"Still"? I mean if someone believed that LLMs would result in AGI, why would he change his opinion? Did something happen? I mean the progress generally exceeded expectations so far so your P(AGI) should increase, not decrease. This rant doesn't apply if you did not believe that LLM can result in AGI from the beginning of course.

The thing is - Google is fucking terrible. Gemini has nice benchmark but it's unusable, try it. There's a reason why their market share in AI is so small.

> We should really stop talking this guy, he's not a great person as far as I'm concerned.

So what? Should we talk only about good guys? Even if he's shitty person (I'm not sure if he is - maybe he's not, I'm not making this judgement) the story is still interesting.

Because it’s no longer a problem if you use frontier models.

> You raise everyone up simultaneously by distributing in a rational measured way.

No, see, that doesn't make sense. If you "distribute in a rational measured way" you have central planning. And central planning indeed reduces inequality but also makes everyone much poorer. Inequalities are natural consequences of free market and meritocracy. Free market and meritocracy is what's best for economic growth. And with economic growth EVERY decile gets richer.

Man, I really hope that eventually this technology will allow us to build beautiful housing again.

It’s not though because even though inequality is increasing, everyone is getting richer including bottom decile.

> Look at the margins for competitive generic drugs and over the counter medicine. Margins are tight.

Yes, and reducing manufacturing cost if you have tight margin has huge potential for profit.

> You don't get it. [...] A society is not "richer" because the amount of financially backed power is one concentrated set of hands.

No, you don't get it. Read again my post - I've explicately said that EVERY decile is richer.
