If this is really AGI, like really really, then this will be remembered as the day we all started on the path to building guillotines.
More likely though, it's AGI because they need to hold some claim to differentiate from competitors who are beating them in price and will launch something bigger next month.
We take their claims at face value then we should probably stop them training any more SOTA models til they figure out what they already built is safe or we assume theu are lying to juke the company valuation/keep the money train on the tracks and it turns they in fact were not and just took a sledgehammer to Pandora's box.
Define LLMs. Current models look pretty different to the vanilla transformer from 2017. And its not even known what architecture and training innovations the frontier is using, right?
More likely ten years from now you’ll think, “man, we were pretty naive to think we were on the cusp of AGI back when LLMs automated low-level software engineering.”
