When someone tells you that AGI is inevitable and the permanent economic displacement of most humans is a foregone conclusion, what they're really telling you is that they believe the current leaders of the AI industry will execute flawlessly, indefinitely, against challenges they can't yet foresee, in an environment that's changing faster than perhaps any in history.
This seems unlikely.
@Daojoan The people propagating the inevitability of AGI or the permanence of the current LLM hype are just the current iteration of parasites who deliberately push every "next big thing" in ever faster intervals to profit off of it.
They manufacture volatility, brand it as necessary "innovation" or life saving "transformation" while selling imaginary products and services as solutions. They did it with #Apps, #Cloud, #Blockchain, #Metaverse, #VR and who knows how many technologies before quickly pivoting to the next. They have no interest in improving anything despite their bank accounts while making things worse for everyone else.
And still, nobody is able or willing to stop them...
