Reddit ML discusses mechanistic case for AGI from current AI

A discussion on Reddit's r/MachineLearning subreddit explores the core mechanisms that could lead to artificial general intelligence (AGI). The central question is whether current AI learning paradigms, specifically next-token prediction and reinforcement learning, possess the inherent capabilities to achieve AGI. Participants are seeking mechanistic arguments grounded in theory rather than extrapolations of current progress. AI

IMPACT Explores the theoretical foundations for achieving AGI with current AI techniques.

    <!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Most conversations I see on various AI subreddits start from the assumption that AGI/RSI/ASI is possible, we're on the way right now, and that things will be incredibly different afterward. The only question is what the post-AGI world looks like.…
