We already know AGI isn’t possible with LLM technology but looking past this, what I despise in the current state of AI tech journalism is the loop of:
- AI stakeholder/spokesperson says something unrealistic
- Journalist nods their head approvingly
- Article is virtually an ad that recounts an event
- Rinse and repeat
Too many tech enthusiasts masquerading as ‘journalists’ who seemingly suffer from short-term memory loss.
It’s like i’m seeing the same information on repeat because ‘journalists’ fall for the same marketing tactics endlessly and do little to actually question what they hear.
Yeah but THIS time they super duper mean it.
They probably just found a way for it to be more of an asshole in its response. Which in my opinion is pretty close as you can get to AGI. If you disagree well then fuck you!

Oh? Finally? Wasn’t it the same with the last one already? And the one before…
Why does it remind me of Jehovah’s witnesses and the end of the world?
It’s always maybe with this stuff. Why is it even different from the previous iterations?
Just a few more billions, it’ll work much better, you’ll see!
Pro tip:
If you have to make press releases to convince people AGI is here, it is not here.
Snake oil
These AI companies, including Google, should be sold for scrap and the benefits used to repair the damage that MAGA, tech bros, and the heritage foundation have done.
