I’ve sort of lost interest in AGI. It was always an interest because of all the cool things I imagined it would be able to do, but here we are now without AGI but with so many of the cool things I was imagining. So I care less if it's AGI or not. It’s extremely useful none the less. And as models get better and better and as tools improve we’ll see more and more value added to society even if it isn’t AGI.

I was kind of hoping he would go on to speculate on what those breakthroughs might be, but the article doesn't go into any more detail. If someone like him doesn't have some next steps in mind, that doesn't bode well for AGI happening any time soon.

Just like fusion. But without the strong theoretical underpinnings so .. worse than fusion.

"Breakthrough" is the whiteboard covered in maths and an empty box labelled "magic here"
