I had a really good friend on MySpace that I lost touch with. I think he was a little paranoid, we didn't speak much and he was always looking over his shoulder. His name was Tom.

That is a very VC baiting title. But it's doesn't appear from the abstract that they're claiming that LLMs will develop to the complexity of AGI.

Do you have a non paywalled link? And is that quote in relation to LLMs specifically or AI generally?

largely based on the notion that LLMs will, with continued scaling, become artificial general intelligence

Who said that LLMs were going to become AGI? LLMs as part of an AGI system makes sense but not LLMs alone becoming AGI. Only articles and blog posts from people who didn't understand the technology were making those claims. Which helped feed the hype.

I 100% agree that we're going to see an AI market correction. It's going to take a lot of hard human work to achieve the real value of LLMs. The hype is distracting from the real valuable and interesting work.

This is true on algorithmic platforms that reward "engagement" of any kind. I didn't get that sense from pre 2010 Facebook or Twitter and I don't get that sense on fediverse platforms.

It's not a binary question but a good opener would be to ask the panel what AI tools they use. That would also help to set the expectations of the audience for the level of follow up questions.

Where did you get this part?

What's the context here?

What kind of fees are you paying? That chart does not reflect the market. For instance, if you had invested in a low management fee S&P 500 index find you would expect to have seen a 50% increase over the same period.
