Worth a read if anyone is interested: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2026/02/16/what-is-claude-anthropic-doesnt-know-either

My favorite part is Anthropic has a bot in the cafeteria that orders what staff request and if the bank balance goes to zero or negative, then it loses and has to close up shop.

This far, nearly all employees have a 1” tungsten cube on their desk that some managed to get for free with a fake 100% off coupon.

It’s a fun experiment in what happens when these agents start doing things in the real world and I commend Anthropic for putting it on display. A real hype train killer.

As a technologist, I work with them all day, every day. I wouldn’t trust them to do my laundry without oversight, let alone run a business.

Eh I was wondering whose turn was it to claim it this year. Turns out it is another guy who is balls deep invested in AI.

Literally the story above this in my feed is OpenAI shutting down expensive services 😂

You goofy goobers

That man is a verbal slut. He will say anything.

[–] HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 15 hours ago

Maybe he's the AI? Hence why he just says shit investors want to hear.

[–] SoloCritical@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

No.. you haven’t.

[–] CeeBee_Eh@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

This guy has completely lost the plot. I don't think it's possible to be even more disconnected from reality.

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.wtf 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If I was a NVDA investor, I'd be worried. This clown is doing nothing but gaslighting and lying these days.

[–] cheat700000007@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

But you're wrong, you're all wrong!

We are not the same

[–] kewjo@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

if agi then why still jobs?

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fun fact: if true AGI were a thing, those AI programs would be people and not paying them for their work would be slavery.

[–] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

This is honestly one of the scarier parts about the rhetoric, they're basically implying they would happily enslave a sentient being.

[–] a_gee_dizzle@lemmy.ca 1 points 14 hours ago

In theory, you could imagine a totally unconscious intelligence, that can make intelligent decisions but has no conscious experiences / is not sentient. Of course I don’t know if such a system would be actually possible. But it is at least conceptually possible to separate the two ideas (consciousness/sentience vs intelligence)

These fuckers will claim whatever nonsense to keep themselves relevant enough to take on more debt before they collapse.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 hours ago

They are going to create a success story where someone becomes a billionaire with an AI doing everything. Then idiots will chase that dream for a hundred years and fill these rich fucks bank accounts.

LLMs aren't AI, let alone AGI.

They're fucking prediction engines with extra functions.

[–] Onihikage@piefed.social 33 points 2 days ago

The best description I've ever heard of LLMs is "a blurry jpeg of the internet". From the perspective of data compression and retrieval, they're impressive... but they're still a blurry jpeg. The image doesn't change, you can only zoom in on different parts of it and apply extra filters, and there's nothing you can truly do about the compression artifacts (what we call "hallucinations"). It can't think, it can't learn, it just is, and that's all it will ever be.

Sure you do. It's not at all a transparent attempt to prolong the bubble.

[–] Technus@lemmy.zip 80 points 2 days ago (13 children)

I only have a rather high level understanding of current AI models, but I don't see any way for the current generation of LLMs to actually be intelligent or conscious.

They're entirely stateless, once-through models: any activity in the model that could be remotely considered "thought" is completely lost the moment the model outputs a token. Then it starts over fresh for the next token with nothing but the previous inputs and outputs (the context window) to work with.

That's why it's so stupid to ask an LLM "what were you thinking", because even it doesn't know! All it's going to do is look at what it spat out last and hallucinate a reasonable-sounding answer.

Oh yes we have achieved AGI! But what we really need is Artificial General Super Intelligence! Just another trillion and it will be useful bro!

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 19 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

The Turing thing again, how good a system is at mimicking a human? Like, lot's of dog owners could swear; the dog is smarter than a cat. But dogs are only better at reading their human.

I'll believe him, if he let's the LLM do his job.

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 13 points 2 days ago

Cats may be able to read their human just as well or better, but as they don't give a shit, there's no feedback to base anything on.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 28 points 2 days ago

Average Gaslighting Idiot.

AKA "a CEO."

[–] mrmaplebar@fedia.io 39 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think you're a bullshitting con artist.

[–] RedFrank24@piefed.social 50 points 2 days ago (2 children)

So why do we need Jensen Huang?

[–] MrVilliam@sh.itjust.works 31 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Exactly. CEO is maybe the easiest job for an AI to take over, so an AGI is possibly the most perfect candidate for that role.

Put up or shut up, tech bro CEOs. Replace yourself if it's so fucking amazing.

Why do we need any of them? They've completed the job. All future plans cancelled.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 35 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Geez. You can almost smell the desperation on this guy.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

Well, he wears the same leather jacket 24/7 so he can't smell good.

[–] meme_historian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 42 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Fridman, the podcast’s host, defines AGI as an AI system that’s able to “essentially do your job,” as in start, grow, and run a successful tech company worth more than $1 billion. He then asks Huang when he believes AGI will be real — asking if it’s, say, five, 10, 15, or 20 years away — and Huang responds, “I think it’s now. I think we’ve achieved AGI.”

So we've achieved AGI in the sense that it could replace a nonsensical fart-sniffing clown, hyping a horde of morons into valuating a company at orders of magnitude its actual worth?

[–] PushButton@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

His can we take this idiot seriously; slop DLSS, tgen telling us we are wrong about this (the buddy telling me what I prefer), then we achieved AGI...

How low can he falls?

[–] GottaHaveFaith@fedia.io 17 points 2 days ago

I just dropped an AGI down the toilet AMA

[–] Dindonmasker@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 days ago

Guys i think i just found AGI in my gramp's old stuff.

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

fart sniffer
