Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

It's like watching a slow motion train wreck.

Either this turns out to be a giant boondoggle (which personally I think is the most likely case) in which case there's going to be an enormous crash

Or we actually get AGI out of all of this and then it promptly kills us all.

Is anyone even working on AGI or have any clue how to get there? Or are we just going to wait a few years, move the goalposts again, and let them call GPT X "AGI"?
