And at the time, you responded that it didn't really matter whether you've reached AGI or not because the systems are going to be very, very capable and Google's strategy should be the same.

I noticed that you did not say AGI in your keynote.

Demis did, but you did not.

What's your relationship with the term AGI today and sort of the idea that all of this progress is building towards something singular and world-changing?

Are you AGI pilled?

Well, Casey, other than IO, there has been a lot happening this week on some stories that we have covered in the past.

So it is time for our segment that we call System Update.

All right, update number one is that the Elon Musk OpenAI trial is finally over after weeks of testimony.

We got a verdict on Monday.

And what was that verdict, Kevin?

Well, after less than two hours of deliberation, the jury came back and unanimously rejected Elon Musk's claims, not on the merits, but just on the sort of grounds that he had waited too long to file the lawsuit.

They said it fell outside of the three-year statute of limitations.

And they basically said, we're not going to even debate the merits because it's too late.

You're too late, bro.

When is Elon Musk going to catch a break in this crazy world?

Yes.

So I think the trial ended up being quite important, but not for reasons related to the trial.

It was sort of all the evidence and all the gossipy juice that came out during the trial.

It felt like a stimulus package for the tech media.

Yeah, me too.
