We've somehow had a calm few months in the industry without the daily hyperbole on AGI, superintelligence and the upcoming singularity. After the string of underwhelming incremental updates from all the top LLM publishers I guess they need to start the hype cycle again.


Strangely enough, the hype cycle seems to run in lockstep with their funding rounds.


Underwhelming?! We're probably a year out of AI-led pure math research and full AI SWEs. I think people forget what it was like 1-2 years ago somehow


If the last 12 months are anything to go by, one year from now the "full AI SWEs" will be able to write all the code you probably should have used a library for anyway, and continue to be unable to do anything halfway novel without bugs.


Speaking of hyperbole…


We are now many years into full AI SWEs will become a reality in 12 months.


What? AI proofs are still atrocious.
