Google announced a million things at Google I/O yesterday. I thought it was interesting that Demis Hassabis closed the keynote, putting everything in context. A small part of it:

AGI is now on the horizon, and it will be the most profound and impactful technology ever invented. If built right, it could propel human progress and flourishing beyond our imaginations. We’re in a moment of immense promise, but also enormous responsibility. […] When we look back at this time, I think we will realize that we were standing in the foothills of the singularity.

@manton Do you agree with his “foothills” assessment? I’m torn.

Even if we’re not closer to AGI than we were 10 years ago (and we might not be!), AI as is now can be extremely useful.

@zottmann.dev I guess I don’t have any reason to disagree with him. Feels like we’ve turned a corner from “if” to “when”.

@manton I have yet to see any evidence that we have moved closer to AGI than the day I was born.
