    Building a metaverse that people want to actually engage with was too hard, so he’s decided to scale back his ambitions and tackle something less difficult: AGI.

      He just want some virtual friends to hang out with in the metaverse, since humans weren’t interested.

    Zuckerberg: Why are my pupils vertical slits? Why am I always cold? Why do people find me so repellent?

    AI: Sir, I can answer all three with one response, but you won’t like it.

    I wonder if he really thinks that AGI is just AI with more parameters and gpus thrown into the mix.

    Sure, we could point to thousands of years of really smart people trying and utterly failing to build mathematical models for innovation and thought, but it also does make a certain amount of sense that, if you pile up enough transistors and wish really hard, that your investment will Frosty the Snowman itself into being your friend, right…?

    Is Zuckerberg an idiot? Or does he have an actual plan with this?
    Seems to me it’s completely useless like Metaverse.
    If the LLM is so stupid it can’t figure out the sides of an equal sign can be reversed as simple as in 2+2=4 <=> 4=2+2. He will never achieve general intelligence by just throwing more compute power at it.
    As powerful as LLM is, it’s still astoundingly stupid when it hits its limitations.

        The difference is that we can go beyond that limitation. Even self-coding AI will either solve a problem, or compound its own inefficiencies before asking an operator to help out.

          Your post sounds almost as dense as:

      I don’t know much, but from what I know, we still haven’t reach a point of diminishing returns, so more power = more better.

          You can already ask ChatGPT to model a real life scenario with a simple math equation. There is at least a rough model of how basic math can be used to solve problems.
