The hype is real. We were told that we'd have AGI and be out of jobs 2 years ago, let alone today.


We were also told that AGI would never happen, that it was 6 months away, that it is 20 years away.

I’m not sure of the utility of being so outraged that some people made wrong predictions.


By whom? I don't think anyone seriously said in 2023 we have AGI in two years. Even now, no one reputable is claiming AGI in two years.


Random on YouTube, random here on hacker news.

No, I don’t take them seriously, that was my point, which apparently I didn’t make clear enough.


The phrasing of your comment clearly implies an authoritive person or organisation telling us we would have AGI now.

There are billions of people. You have people who think the earth is flat. You can probably find any insane takes if you look for it. Best not take get told anything by them as you have seemed to have taken it to heart.


> Even now, no one reputable is claiming AGI in two years.

LOL...You really underestimate the intellectual dishonesty of these people...Its all about the greenback...
