Why does OpenAI "have" everything and they just sit on it, instead of writing a paper or something? They have a watermarking solution that could help make the world a better place and get rid of some of the Slop out there... They have a definition of AGI... Yet, they release none of that...

Some people even claim they already have a secret AGI. Or at least ChatGPT 5 sure will be it. I can see how that increases the company's value, and you'd better not tell the truth. But with all the other things, it's just silly not to share anything.

Either they're even more greedy than the Metas and Googles out there, or all the articles and "leaks" are just unsubstantiated hype.

They don't have AGI. AGI also won't happen for another laege amount of years to come

What they currently have is a bunch of very powerful statistical probability engines that can predict the next word or pixel. That's it.

AGI is a completely different beast to the current LLM flower leaves

So they don't actually have a definition of a AGI they just have a point at which they're going to announce it regardless of if it actually is AGI or not.

Great.

That's not a bad way of defining it, as far as totally objective definitions go. $100 billion is more than the current net income of all of Microsoft. It's reasonable to expect that an AI which can do that is better than a human being (in fact, better than 228,000 human beings) at everything which matters to Microsoft.

Good observation. Could it be that Microsoft lowers profits by including unnecessary investments like acquisitions?

So it'd take a 100M users to sign up for the $200/mo plan. All it'd take is for the US government to issue vouchers for video generators to encourage everyone to become a YouTuber instead of being unemployed.

If they actually achieve AGI I don't understand what money would even mean anymore. It essentially is just a mechanism for getting people to do things they don't otherwise want to do, if the AI can do it just as well as the human, but for free other than the electricity costs, why the hell would you pay a human to do it?

It's like saving up money, in case of nuclear war. There are a few particular moments in history where the state of the world on the far side of the event is so different to the world on this side of the event that there's no point making any kind of plans based on today systems.

Does anyone have a real link to the non-stalkerware version of:

https://www.theinformation.com/articles/microsoft-and-openais-secret-agi-definition

-and the only place with the reference this article claims to cite but doesn't quote?
