> 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.

Looking at LLMs and thinking they will lead to AGI is like looking at a guy wearing a chicken suit and making clucking noises and thinking you’re witnessing the invention of the airplane.

It's more like looking at grided paper and thinking that defining some rules of when a square turns black or white would result in complex structures that move and reproduce on their own.
