This made me smile.

Lots of money. Yes men everywhere. Needs more science and less popularity contest. I place my blame in the voters.

My opinion is it seems counter to what made Apple so successful in the first place: second mover advantage, see where everyone else fails and plug the gap.

You're right on the liability front - Apple still won because everyone bought their hardware and their margins are insanely good. It's not that they're sitting by waiting to become irrelevant, they're playing the long game as they always do.

You're measuring speed not intelligence. It's a different metric.

It is exactly the same metric. Intelligence is not magic, be it organic or LLM-based. You still need to go through the training set data to make the any useful extrapolations about the unknown inputs.

Brilliant website. It should be a post of its own.

Thank you so much, I _really_ appreciate this first, positive feedback. I only posted this couple of hours ago and my goal is to reach the front page. Here's the Show HN post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46851589

I don't want to believe you are right. Not that I refuse to...

You could be wrong, hopefully. I'll just remain optimistic.

It's good that critical thinking still exists to keep us all grounded.

Edit: I think you meant to replace AGI with ASI.

What we have now is approaching the ability to solve problems generally with considerable effort but super intelligence is definitely out of reach for the time being.

To be honest, just sounds like a new class of crazies. They were always there. Tinfoil hats and stuff.

Everyone dismisses the lunatics until one day they run the asylum.

Why I don't like Deleueze and Guattari

Yes. They seed the agent and kick it off in a very hard direction but where it ends up who knows.

Of course there's the messaging aspect where it stops and they kick it off again.

Still, these systems are more agentic than earlier expressions.

Superpositions on quantum compute get to the epsilon endpoints quicker.

Feedback loops. Like a mic. next to a speaker.

Social media feed, prompting content, feeding back into ideas.

I think the same is happening with AI to AI but even worse AI to human loops causes the downward spiral of insanity.

It's interesting how easily influenced we are.

I get where you're coming from but the "agency" term has loosened. I think it's going to keep happening as well until we end up with recursive loops of agency.

LLMs only have agency at most in the sense that a dog which has been trained and bred specifically to herd sheep does.
