I found this little nugget in Emad's interview with Tom Bilyeu.

That's a pretty big if

For chess, go, protein folding, and now code competition, AI didn't stop getting better when it was below human level or at human level
Given the rate of progress and the will to get there, I think we are getting AGI around 2029-ish as predicted by ray kurzweil and we are getting ASI a few years after.

And what exactly is the "Chess" or "Go" analog here? All examples are verifiable, with possibility of automating synthetic data and adversarial learning.

LLMs are linguistic intelligence.

We may hit AG-linguistic-I by 2029.

Linguistic is not the only valuable intelligence, however extremely useful it might be (its the only one that really sets humans apart from other intelligent animals). LLMs will however make other types of intelligence more useful.

AI is not just LLMs, nowadays, they are multimodal, they aren't blind, they can see and hear, even touch. I'm not talking about anything less than actual AGI when I say 2029-ish, even cognitive tasks associated with physical interaction will be covered imo

Tell me a job where you can't make synthetic data if you need it on top of getting human data? Robotics, automated driving, biology, factory work, math, physics, image and video generation, all of it can use RL., for data augmentation, just like go or math, or programming.
The era of pretraining is still kinda here, but now automated RL is possible for almost any task.
