AGI is Almost Here! What comes next? What's left to do? How do we adapt and prepare?

The jar your brain is made of bone. Still a jar.

Every time you watch this video AGI is 24 minutes and 15 seconds nearer

[saadahmad]

we're gonna get AGI before GTA 6 😭😭😭

I’m amazed by some of the O1 results and reviews.
A 30 year oncologist said he is impressed with the treatment plans it’s creating for patients… even detailing aspects he did not think about

These are the videos the people want. You are the Chief AGI Preparation Officer for the AI community

"Most humans are confidently incorrect." best summary of our kind :)

“Your brain just sends a signal saying I understand it”
Dave, you drop wisdom that it takes most people decades of self reflection to reach. I’m digging it. You truly embody your Star Trek ideals.

I didn't realize this genre of videos existed! I have been thinking about this type of video content for a year. I think you're in the right space. This will become more and more important as time goes on, I think.

Look Dave. I’m a union worker. I am concerned about my job and the prospects of my children. I see the potential of post work economics, but we have to get the society of every country from A to B. There wasn’t a single mention of Artificial Intelligence in the US presidential debate. I have absolutely no confidence that the AI entrepreneurs are going to “take care” of us until post labor economics are tolerable for the people. If the government and the entrepreneurs have no defined plan for the world’s population as this future barrels toward us, then general strikes are guaranteed. I’m not a ludite. I want to live a decent life. Let’s not belittle union workers for demanding a future that includes them. Wouldn’t you while you still had power?

Boston Dynamics would beg to differ that we only have a jar. Especially the Atlas models. That freaking robot has more dexterity than I had as a babe... like can you turn your joints 360? I sure cant.

[robsteinbock]

It's absolutely wild that we're in the process of choosing a new leader of the free world and not even a blip of this and its implications are being discussed.

I think Orion will be a LLM trained on a massive amounts (10x gpt4) of synthetic data (made using GPT 4 and strawberry). Clever techniques will have been used to ensure the data is accurate and varied (exploring every topic from multiple angles, explaining things from 10000 of viewpoints ).

It's crazy, if your prediction of AGI this September turns out to be correct.

[I-Dophler]

AI is similar to Matt Damon's character in "The Martian, " confined within a jar, yet capable of extraordinary feats despite its limitations. Like Damon’s portrayal of an astronaut stranded on Mars, the AI operates in a controlled environment, relying on data and systems to achieve remarkable results. Though it lacks physical presence outside its constraints, much like the astronaut dependent on technology to survive and adapt, AI can still solve complex problems and contribute significantly to advancing human potential. It’s a blend of isolation and ingenuity, showcasing just how much can be accomplished with the right tools, even in a confined space.

I had to pause the video to say that I'm loving the Pathfinder plug! At time of writing, this video has only been out for 2ish hours and has over 5100 views. Great work reaching more!!

[Soulscribez]

Great video, Dave! You're truly one of the best on YouTube when it comes to talking about AI. Congratulations on your success! 🎉 Keep up the amazing work!

Good points as usual David! I've been in a few conversations about whether or not OpenAI o1 is AGI. I feel people are not comparing apples to apples. This model's knowledge and ability to think and reason is "generally" on par with the average human. It has gaps that are different than ours for some obvious reasons, but generally is able to think and reason more or less how we do. The things people are waiting for such as persistent memory, the ability to continuously learn, and agency is mostly just infrastructure and tooling around the model. We don't really even need any breakthroughs in those spaces. It's mostly just grunt work to stand them up using tools we already have such as knowledge graphs, databases, APIs, etc. I feel society won't ever agree that we have AGI in the midst of it. I'm convinced we'll only recognize it retrospectively, after we have already had ASI for a while.

[NerdyMando_Ewok]

i personally think we will live along side ai. we will still be able to do the things we want to do and such . also think there will be alot of jobs that will still be for humans

[sirinath]

When it surpasses humans, the accuracy is paramount, as even expects will not be able to validate certain part of the answer. When these are used in critical systems one slip can be disastrous with large losses in terms of money and lives. To realise the economic benefits we have to get the accuracy and correctness really up where it matters. Any increase in intelligence should be backed by a much larger leap in accuracy as it becomes harder to verify the accuracy.

Accuracy is paramount when answering question on:
Banking finance and risk,
Engineering,
Medicine,
etc.

[I-Dophler]

It’s remarkable how near we are to reaching AGI, yet the true challenge is in how we manage and shape its influence. Like all groundbreaking innovations, it demands vigilance, foresight, and a thorough grasp of its wide-reaching effects. We must proceed with caution, making sure that it remains a tool for humanity, rather than allowing ourselves to be guided by it.
