Especially because LLMs have no moat and they’re strategy is basically “we’ll figure out AGI first”

I feel there is a strong argument that if we described the capabilities of agentic systems today to someone from 2002, they’d say we’ve achieved AGI. It’s just not as impressive as we thought it would be.

At least not yet.

I would say continual learning is the big missing piece that someone even from 2002 would realise.
tbf producing coherent answers to questions (even if sometimes inaccurate) was perceived to be an almost impossible task a decade ago.
indeed, I know this is not actually AGI, I know it hallucinates and it's not reliable in all situations, buy any of today's LLMs would appear magical to anyone from 20 years ago.
It appears magical to us too. It just gets boring fast and the same would happen with the people from 20 years ago
