Artificial General Intelligence, the pipedream of a technological intelligence that is not producing a single thing but generally capable, like a human.
Edit: recommended reading is “Life 3.0”. While I think it is overly positive about AI, it gives a good overview of AI industry and innovation, and the ideas behind it. You will have to swallow a massive chunk of Musk-fanboism, although to be fair it predates Musk’s waving the fasces.
I get it. I just didn't know that they are already using "beyond AGI" in their grifting copytext.
Yeah, that started a week or two ago. Altman dropped the AGI promise too soon now he's having to become a sci-fi author to keep the con cooking.
