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.

Trying to engage in good faith here but I don't really get this. You're pretending to have never encountered positive visions of technologically advanced futures.

Cure all disease?

Stop aging?

End material scarcity?

It's completely fair to expect that these are all twisted monkey's paw scenarios that turn out dystopian, but being unable to understand any positive motivations for the creation of AGI seems a bit far fetched.

That the development of this technology is in the hands of a few people that don't use even a fraction of their staggering wealth to address these challenges now, tells me that they aren't interested in using AI to solve them later.
