@GaryMarcus @gcolbourn @TEDTalks @ylecun @demishassabis Likely there will be more redefinition of "AGI" to make it more plausible. It's already been redefined from "machines attaining general human-level intelligence" to "machines performing most 'cognitive' tasks". Still not clear to me what "most" & "cognitive tasks" means.

@gcolbourn @TEDTalks @ylecun @demishassabis i think he did at one point. This recent interview seems more cautious, without any specific date: https://www.wired.com/story/deep…

@GaryMarcus @TEDTalks @ylecun @demishassabis Didn't Hassabis say "this decade"?

The statement in question is part of a broader conversation on Twitter involving multiple participants discussing the timeline and expectations around the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI) by Demis Hassabis of DeepMind. The conversation references various sources and interviews to clarify or challenge statements made by Hassabis regarding the progress and timeline of AGI development. The specific statement, 'maybe i shouldn’t count him on my side then… I am pretty sure I heard him say a decade somewhere recently?' is a response to a clarification about when Hassabis made a particular statement about AGI timelines.
