Am I right to say that "AGI" was just...cancelled again?

Did we just get scammed right in front of our eyes with an overhyped release and what is now an underwhelming model if the point was that GPT-5 was supposed to be trustworthy enough for serious use-cases and it can't even count or reason about letters?

So much for the "AGI has been achieved internally" nonsense with the VCs and paid shills on X/Twitter bullshitting about the model before the release.

Not only "AGI" is cancelled but they also sort of admitted that so-called "scaling" "laws" don't work anymore. Scaling inference kinda still works, but obviously is bounded by context size and haystack-and-needle diminishing accuracy. So the promise of even steadily moving towards AGI is dubious at best.

How were you still eating that?

Never was. Knew it was a redefinition confidence trick years ago.
