  • I wonder if the whole focus on AGI is downstream of LLMs talking like humans.
    • Like, the idea of a planetary scale omniscient personality is easy to imagine, and also terrifying.
      • Chatbots make this kind of fundamentally incorrect "LLMs are basically computers as people" mental model natural.
    • Because it's easy to imagine, it dominates our horizon.
    • What's more interesting to me is: what happens when every human has auto-compounding super powers[ax]?
      • That would be different from AGI.
      • It's not clear if it's worse or better!
