    Do you just not like AI or do you have a reason to believe that there won’t be significant progress?

      Not OP but out current implementations of LLMs and similar models are just fundementally incapable of true reasoning, we can keep pumping money into them with diminishing returns but its never going to turn into AGI. Maybe not the best example but LLMs are like bronze, pretty good but no matter how much better you get at bronze working its just never going to allow for the things that could be done with more advanced metalurgy. Right now the big names are pouring money into bronze and no one is figuring out how to smelt iron.

        By smelting bronze one learns about ores and sooner or later discovers iron ore.

        The processes matter, the data, the teams.

      Using imprecise terms like AI make it impossible to know. Do you mean than machine learning/neural networks can make robots adaptive enough to pick oranges and butcher chickens, or do you think LLMs are going to get “smart” enough to become AGI?

        Both. Many resources are put into the former which inevitably will lead to somebody having an insight for the latter.
