Comment on Peter Thiel dumps entire Nvidia stake, slashes Tesla holdings amid bubble fears

I cannot fathom why I wouldn’t be pessimistic about a tool that’s being crammed into places it doesn’t fit. There are a small handful of things generative algorithms are genuinely useful for. But expecting it to magically solve anything else is foolish, and always will be.

This is what I’m talking about. “Always will be”? AGI will come. Don’t bet against it.

  I don’t disagree with you about AGI but the timeframe is the big question. Will it come in a decade or a century? Impossible to know.
  
  It seems the current predictive machine learning is reaching it’s breaking point and improvements are slowing down. Is that because the limit is reached or just a temporary slowdown until something better is discovered. Also impossible to know
  
  I have no doubts that AGI will eventually arrive unless we blow ourselves up

    I was just about to say the same thing! I’m guessing it will take a bit longer than a decade and I’m not too optimistic about our chances of surviving that long. Well, at least surviving with all of our technology intact.

    I would bet on AGI arriving sooner rather than later.
    
    The primary limiting factor right now is availability of power and space. Once small modular reactors start to really take off, we are going to see insane growth in AI development.
