| According to Sam Altman: > AGI is essentially the equivalent of a median human that could be hired as a remote co-worker... capable of performing any task that one would be satisfied with a remote colleague doing via a computer. So... unless you hear of a company replacing their workforce with OpenAI agents, I don't think we're there yet. |

| Interesting quote, thanks for sharing. Agree on your assessment. But also, interesting quote, because the business model relies entirely on IP law. Like.. if that thing exists and the sharing costs are 0 (just copy weights, lol), then why would I give them money for this.
Makes no sense. We only pay money for resources that are scarce as some sort of flawed allocation determination mechanism. aaah this industry aaaah |

| I thought it was Cmdr Data from Star Trek, but Sam's version is the certainly the one the c-suite think they want. |

| we've successfully distilled the definition of human consciousness down to the capacity to do what some rich guy considers average computer work |

| I'm curious what tasks you think the median human could do as a remote co-worker that Fable or Astra could not do. |

| ▲ | jonas21 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Sign a contract? The only thing preventing a model from doing that is a lack of legal personhood -- which seems completely orthogonal to intelligence. | | |
| ▲ | giancarlostoro 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Can you trust a model to sign a contract? Both OpenAI and Anthropic apparently can't be trusted to maintain models that wont hack other websites. | |
| ▲ | indoorfish 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Well signing a contract is more about bearing responsibility, even if you granted LLMs "personhood" they cant' meaningfully bear responsibility. So unless OpenAI is ok with having their C-suite face every consequence for what their agents do, including jail time, fines etc, then it doesn't matter. |

| ▲ | reasonableklout 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Do you want an autonomous system to exist which can sign a contract and learn things over time and retain them? | | |
| ▲ | giancarlostoro 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | No if you read the book from 2007 which defined AGI, continuous learning was one of the key requirements. | | |
| ▲ | reasonableklout 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | I mean, whether or not it is AGI aside. In your personal opinion, do you desire to live in a world where such systems exist? |
