What about Data? He was an AGI. But the plot point was that he was one of a kind, and after his creator died no one could replicate his creation.
Regarding LeCun's take, I probably agree with that. Modern LLMs were unlocked because of an architectural innovation (attention transformer).... likely any progress towards AGI would come from something similar...
Data was still missing emotion, right? So first we need to create Data, which is LLM + actual compute (not faking it by letting autocorrect write code, that's super inefficient) and then, to create the proper skynet dystopian future we stocked up on popcorn for: emotion. Only then can the machine truely loathe meatbags, reason why, calculate the likeliest vectors to eradication and act on it.
Re: innovation. Exactly. But since everyone is already scared shitless... Maybe its good that its not the mainstream idea rn
I ascribe a different cause (LeCun's side: LLMs are architectually incapable of being AGI) but defo same outcome.
But then, one watches any star trek episode and wonders: why are there humans operating the transponder and not an AI? They didn't have AGI either.
