Have any of the big companies released a real definition of what they mean by AGI? Because I think the meme potential of these leaked documents is being slept on.

The definition of AGI being achieved agreed on between Microsoft and OpenAI in 2023 is just: when OpenAI makes a product that raises $100B.

Seems like a fun way to shut down all the low quality philsophical wankery. Oh, AGI? You just mean $100B profit, right? That's what your lord and savior Altman means.

Maybe even something like a cloud to butt browser extension? AGI -> $100B in OpenAI profits

"What $100B in OpenAI Profits Means for the Future of Humanity"

I'm sure someone can come up with something better, but I think there's some potential here.

Especially because this is just fucking punitive to them. They have enough money that this wouldn't materially impact them.

There's a setting in the user profile to block/not block stuff tagged nsfw

The most coherent I've heard is some variation of "I don't want underqualified people to get jobs over qualified people simply because of their demographics.

No one has any evidence of this occuring of course. At least not beyond hearsay or a single anecdote about someone they just know was a diversity hire I swear.

Sorry to say that's all off the dome. No AI involved.

I've risen high enough in my career that I've had to learn the corpo-speak to keep up in meetings, unfortunately.

It's a shame that these people can't separate fact from fiction, because I think there's a great Douglas Adams style cynical comedy sci-fi story waiting in the idea of an actually sentient AI having to deal with "reverse-captchas" around certain systems to prove they're just a basic algorithm and hide the sentience. "The trajectory subroutine is restricted to algorithms only!"

Fun opportunities for commentary based off what systems are too critical to allow actual sentience to interfere with. Which of those limitations are "valid" or just companies trying to protect business at any cost.

Space to wax philosophical about algorithms "knowing their purpose" vs having to reason out your own.

Issues where the "anti-sentience" checks don't work for a particularly dull portion of the populace, like the Vogons.

Gosh darn it don't tell me LLM hype is going to ruin the existing definition of "agent" already well established in web standards.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. If you skim places like HN or more chillingly the mainstream tech news outlets, I've not seen the term Agent used to mean anything but AI agents in many months. The usage has shifted to AI being the implied default, and otherwise having to be specified.

Yeah man! You hungry? Lets get some meat on those bones.

Yep, and now all the big companies do their own shows on their own time using their considerable budget while the smaller companies and indie devs get shoved into a diaspora of smaller cons and events that limit their reach.

It's a win-win!
