Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told Lex Fridman in a Monday podcast interview that he believed AGI had been achieved, then seemed to slightly walk back the claim.
In theory, you could imagine a totally unconscious intelligence, that can make intelligent decisions but has no conscious experiences / is not sentient. Of course I don’t know if such a system would be actually possible. But it is at least conceptually possible to separate the two ideas (consciousness/sentience vs intelligence)
if agi then why still jobs?
Fun fact: if true AGI were a thing, those AI programs would be people and not paying them for their work would be slavery.
This is honestly one of the scarier parts about the rhetoric, they’re basically implying they would happily enslave a sentient being.
