For people skeptical of AGI. Consider the following: 15 years ago if you were the sole proprietor of these models, would you be able to hold a dozen remote junior engineer jobs? Maybe even more? These models could certainly pass all interviews with flying colors and even survive independently in a company role. I think sole ownership of AI 15 years ago could be worth north of $10 million per year. Just as rank-and-file employees. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Yeah, I can't believe all of the skepticism. If we're not at textbook AGI, we're awfully darn close. The demo video showed Astra create a drawing of a rocket ship from an audio prompt, take the drawing to blender, and ended with the gentleman 3D printing the rocket ship. Maybe I'm a bit older than the average HN commenter, but that's damn near magic and a great many here are kind of just taking it for granted. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Cool. Being sole proprietor of AGI 15 years ago should result in monuments and religions devoted to you today. Cancer should be cured, and we should be a post-quantum interstellar fusion-powered civilization. I wish the AGI crowd would finally shut up now that it's clear no one is even trying for AGI (OpenAI revised that to "$100B in profit") What we're getting is incredible, where we're headed is incredible, but some people have such a fetish for futuretelling they can't just shut up and enjoy the ride. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
