> The AGI bubble is bursting a little bit

I'm surprised that any of these companies consider what they are working on to be Artificial General Intelligences. I'm probably wrong, but my impression was AGI meant the AI is self aware like a human. An LLM hardly seems like something that will lead to self-awareness.

I think people's conception of AGI is that it will have a reptillian and mammalian brain stack. That's because all previous forms of intelligence that we were aware of have had that. It's not necessary though. The AGI doesn't have to want anything to be intelligent. Those are just artifacts of human, reptilian and mammalian evolution.
