A recent Forbes profile, meticulously detailing Sam Altman's profoundly chaotic journey through the artificial intelligence world, revealed a striking initial declaration from Altman: "we basically have built AGI, or very close to it."
However, this definitive assertion was swiftly recalibrated. Just days later, Altman clarified his stance, stating, "I meant that as a spiritual statement, not a literal one." He further conceded that the realization of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) would necessitate "a lot of medium-sized breakthroughs. I don’t think we need a big one."
