Weird how bs like religion is never questioned or pulsed but science and human advancement always is.

1 year imo. FEEL THE AGI

Well by then we'd have already achieved AGI for a few years, so at least that's some consolation.

Showerthought, and a summarization of David Shapiro's comment:
"AGI may already be here. We just haven't woken it up yet."

Based on Andrew Ng's post on agentic AI, and my own musings

GPT-3.5 (zero shot) was 48.1% correct. GPT-4 (zero shot) does better at 67.0%. However, the improvement from GPT-3.5 to GPT-4 is dwarfed by incorporating an iterative agent workflow. Indeed, wrapped in an agent loop, GPT-3.5 achieves up to 95.1%.

To me it seems plausible that a first-generation AGI ought to be a fusion of an LLM + agent swarm + concept search, and if that's the case, there's no reason why someone had not experimented to see if this is the case yet
In fact the way I think of it now is ironically like a corporation: foundational models are literally like the foundation, the building itself, which may have some functionality (e.g. utilities, internet connection, robotic security, etc.) But a corporation is not just a building (save for money laundering purposes). It's the humans inside that make it work, and they are a cascading hierarchy— agent swarms likely will operate similarly, with executive-level cognitive agents and adversarial agents that challenge decisions, and various smaller subagents with new ones "hired" by the larger ones as necessary.
