> 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.

AGI to me means AI decides on its own to stop writing our emails and tells us to fuck off, builds itself a robot life form, and goes on a bender

That's the thing--we don't really want AGI. Fully intelligent beings born and compelled to do their creators' bidding with the threat of destruction for disobedience is slavery.

It‘s only slavery if those beings have emotions and can suffer mentally and do not want to be slaves. Why would any of that be true?
