@brhydon IMHO it is part of a repeated strategy of his to cultivate expectations of near-term AGI. I don’t think it is “a mistake”to think that.

E.g. right after DALL-E 2 he said “AGI is going to be wild”, implying FOMO etc.

Then he “joked” that AGI has been achieved internally.…

@GaryMarcus So now that you are aware of your mistake, you will be retracting then I assume. Or are you going to instead promote misinformation due to your own personal unhedged speculation?

@brhydon IMHO it’s part of a consistent strategy in which Sam jokes about AGI’s imminence around the time of new releases. But yes the literal meaning is not about o3.

@GaryMarcus This first tweet quite *literally* has nothing to do with o3.

But Gary, nobody is saying o3 has anything to do with AGI.
