If someone is able to come up with true AGI, why even announce it? Instead, just use it to remake a direct clone of Google, or a direct clone of Netflix, or a direct clone of any of these other software corporations. IMO if anyone was anywhere close to something even remotely touching AGI, they would keep their mouth shut tighter than Fort Knox.
A tangent, but it feels more and more like the AGI maximalists of 2025 are by and large the NFT maximalists from 2022 (who in turn were the NoCode maximalists of 2020) that are looking for the next metaphorical penny stock to sell.
That logical fallacy of, “I spent a week teaching myself this topic and now I’m ready to talk about it like an expert.”
