Are there some people here in HN believing in AGI "soonish" ?

I might, depending on the definition.

Some kind of verbal-only-AGI that can solve almost all mathematical problems that humans come up with that can be solved in half a page. I think that's achievable somewhere in the near term, 2-7 years.

What makes you think that this could be achieved in that time frame? All we seem to have for now are LLMs that can solve problems they’ve learned by heart (or neighboring problems)

Transformers can actually learn pretty difficult manipulations, even how to calculate difficult integrals, so I don't agree that they can only solve problems they've learned by heart.

The reason I believe it can be achieved in this time frame is that I believe that you can do much more with non-output tokens than is currently being done.
