@jalefkowit no, no, that's amazing. they operationalized it. well done lol

@jalefkowit like, yes we see people calling this ridiculous and, sure, it is, but keep in mind that, under this definition, it is immediately obvious that the company has not achieved the thing they claim to, and that will keep being the case as long as they haven't

@jalefkowit given the 50-year history of goalpost-moving around the entire concept of "artificial intelligence", something like this does seem necessary

Andrew

@ireneista @jalefkowit I mean it also just says everything about these people, right? "AGI is when it makes $100bn" is absolutely what we should have expected.

Imagine OpenAI building a real artificial superintelligence and it not officially counting because it doesn't think that making $100bn is a worthy goal

@andrewt @ireneista @jalefkowit ...or thinks reaching the goal would have undesirable outcomes for it!

@flippac @ireneista @jalefkowit haha, like the AGI decides to only make $99.999bn just to avoid letting Altman have too much power over it?

@andrewt @ireneista @jalefkowit That's probably a worst-of-both-worlds situation for it tbh!

@andrewt @ireneista @jalefkowit
I mean, it's not far off from how these people determine a human's worth.

@andrewt @ireneista @jalefkowit

It also means that if they really did invent something truly intelligent but had no way of monetising it, they would just quietly dump it.

@FediThing @andrewt @ireneista @jalefkowit this conjures up the image of an engineer sobbing “I’m sorry, you weren’t profitable enough” while smothering a computer with a pillow as dark suited C suite watch on from a viewing platform.
