It's not there yet, it's still learning™, but a lot of progress in AI has happened recently, which I would give them that.

However, as you point out in your newsletter already, there are also lots of misleading and dubious claims alongside too much hype in the hopes to raise VC capital which comes with the overpromising in AI as well.

One of them is the true meaning of "AGI" (right now it is starting to look like a scam), since there are several conflicting definitions directly from those who benefit.

What do you think it truly means given your observations?

“‘It’s still learning’ is a misnomer. The model isn’t learning—we are. LLMs are static after training; all improvement comes from human iteration in the outer loop: fine-tuning, prompt engineering, tool integration, retrieval. Until the outer loop itself becomes autonomous and self-improving, we’re nowhere near AGI. Current hype confuses capability with agency.
