LeCun always said that LLMs do not lead to AGI.

Can anyone explain to me the non-$$ logic for one working towards AGI, aside from misanthropy?

The only other thing I can imagine is not very charitable: intellectual greed.

It can't just be that, can it? I genuinely don't understand. I would love to be educated.

I'm working toward AGI. I hope AGI can be used to automate work and make life easier for people.

You people need a PR guy, I'm serious. OpenAI is the first company I've ever seen that comes across as actively trying to be misanthropic in its messaging. I'm probably too old-fashioned, but this honestly sounds like Marlboro launching the slogan "lung cancer for the weak of mind".
