MIT Technology Review SUBSCRIBE And yet for all of LLMs' remarkable wordplay, Goertzel doesn't think that they do in fact contain sparks of AGI. "It's a little surprising to me that some people with a deep technical understanding of how these tools work under the hood still think that they could become human-level AGI," he says. "On the other hand, you can't prove it's not true." And there it is: You can't prove it's not true. "The idea that AGl is coming and that it's right around the corner and that it's inevitable has licensed a great many departures from reality," says the University of Edinburgh's Vallor. "But we really don't have any evidence for it."

Um…you can prove it’s not true, and more generally that AGI via learning is impossible. @irisvanrooij.bsky.social did.

Looks like ICE or CBP

Not gonna be brief

I crossed an interesting threshold yesterday, which I think many other mathematicians have been crossing recently as well. In the middle of trying to prove a result, I identified a statement that looked true and that would, if true, be useful to me. 1/3

Instead of trying to prove it, I asked GPT5 about it, and in about 20 seconds received a proof. The proof relied on a lemma that I had not heard of (the statement was a bit outside my main areas), so although I am confident I'd have got there in the end, 2/3

the time it would have taken me would probably have been of order of magnitude an hour (an estimate that comes with quite wide error bars). So it looks as though we have entered the brief but enjoyable era where our research is greatly sped up by AI but AI still needs us. 3/3

I know during a war game I was part of 25 years ago actually doing rejection sampling with calculator calls to rand was met with light bulb moments from some officers involved—they had specified probabilities but no methods
