Wow, @OpenAI's Greg Brockman (@gdb) says #AGI could be achievable within 5 years given massive compute power. I would have guessed more like 50...and that many breakthroughs beyond today's #deeplearning will be required. @RichardWaters ft.com/content/c96e43be-b4df… via @financialtimes

The billion-dollar bet to reach human-level AI

OpenAI believes that huge computing power is key driver

I never said that. Headline misquotes me. The article states my position clearly: "Mr Brockman is wary about predicting precisely when AGI will arrive, and said that it would also require advances in the algorithms to make use of the massive increase in computing power."

The article actually doesn't make your position all that clear: > But, speaking of the vast computing power that OpenAI and Microsoft hope to put at the service of its AI ambitions within five years, he added: “At that point, I think there’s a chance that will be enough.”

Why in 5,10,50? In our laboratory, we have now reachad AGI. He has the level of a 5year old child, excellent memory, understands a person and realizes himself, thinks in images like us. And it is growing progressivety. We just are small and do not have media. Write to us.

Let’s ask @MFordFuture. Martin, what did Greg say?

AGIs invention and AGIs desired utility are 2 very different things separated by decades. Also unless you have discovered the paradigm shift needed for AGI you might as well be predicting when we will have time travel. Machine learning will only lead you astray.
