This was a very challenging article to read. Not because any of the concepts described, but for the way ideas are thrown around and organized. This looks like it was written by a set of llm agents that were instructed to write an article without a clear outlined, and then the author took what they felt were the best bits and hit publish.

(i'm the author) it was 100% human, i'm afraid to say. i was trying to summarize a lot of content in a concise article.

An erroneous summarization is:

  The Tiny Teams concept has resonated so strongly that it’s 
  pretty clear it is the next major transition of the org 
  chart as we go from level 2 to 3 AGI.

LLM's, nor any offerings based upon them, qualify as Artificial General Intelligence[0]. So to assert there is an existing "level 2" AGI, let alone a progression to "level 3" AGI, is nonsensical.

Quoting wikipedia:

>Researchers generally hold that a system is required to do all of the following to be regarded as an AGI:[34]

> - reason, use strategy, solve puzzles, and make judgments under uncertainty > - represent knowledge, including common sense knowledge > - plan > - learn > - communicate in natural language > - if necessary, integrate these skills in completion of any given goal

Modern AI can do all of those.

Can it though? Everything I've seen and experienced is that LLMs are very good at making it appear to do those things, but the amount of times I've gotten stuck on "you're absolutely right!" When correcting the LLMs suggests that it can not reason by any means, nor does it learn. Otherwise, an LLM would never get stuck in a loop.

Of the reproduced attributes listed (reformatted and numbered):

  1 - reason, use strategy, solve puzzles, and make judgments under uncertainty 
  2 - represent knowledge, including common sense knowledge 
  3 - plan 
  4 - learn 
  5 - communicate in natural language 
  6 - if necessary, integrate these skills in completion of any given goal

Only 2 (partially) and 5 are applicable to LLM's, as they are statistical text (token) generator algorithms. Very useful ones, no doubt, but not ones which satisfy all of the above.

AI is mostly trained on average stuff and the author is most widely known for throwing a bunch of stuff on the wall at different communities, they were never known for quality.

Also didn't care for the hiring section and how dystopian that feels, well unless you're independently wealthy I guess. People really want to recreate monarchy in the work place.
