TypeSafe AI's Diogo Almeida says AGI is extremely doable, yet basic work remains largely unautomated:
"I still don't think we're on the path of RSI. I do think that what OpenAI defined as AGI is extremely doable: automating most of the world's economically valuable work."
"There's a lot of work out there. A lot of it is very rote and simple... As far as I can tell, the intelligence of that has been available in the models for quite a while now. My chip on my shoulder is: Why is this not available?"
"Since RLHF, the AI industry kind of bifurcated into gigantic overpromise, underdeliver... Because humans evaluate how good the models are, it looks really good because they are the judge. But we've been optimizing that judge instead of the automation part. That has been the missing thing."
"Are you really telling me that math is solved, or even two years ago, GPQA... is solved, but we still can't handle a drive-through? It's a very hard thing to hold in your head at once. I think a lot of people don't have good answers to that."
