Ok, i appreciate what he wants to say, but he has fully bought into the delusion that an LLM gets somewhat close to an AGI, including the "LLMs could wipe out humanity" crap that Musk/Altman/Amodei are pushing to make their models seem more capable than they will ever be. The only way an LLM can be a danger to humanity is when it gets integrated into automated killchains including a nuclear arsenal, and i hope noone is stupid enough to hook up the nuclear football to a statistical model that is guaranteed to have malfunctions.
It's not just about current LLMs, though. LLMs are being made to work 24/7 on the next generation of models (and not just LLMs), which may be quite novel or just more effective. The next generation might be the one to worry about... Or the generation after that.
LLMs can be used like an army of monkeys with typewriters, with evals guaranteeing progress. It's inefficient, but effective.
Assuming it is possible to make progress (and I think it is), the logical conclusion is that progress will be made, and AGI and ASI will come
