And then so therefore, its lead would get bigger and bigger, and you kind of get this recursive self improvement.
And pretty soon you're off to the singularity.
And we haven't really seen that.
We haven't seen one model completely pull away in terms of capabilities.
And I think that's a good thing.
And so, Eric, to your point about this narrative about the virtual AI researcher, that was one variant of this sort of imminent AGI narrative is that the steps would be –
You know, models get smarter, the models create virtual AI researcher, and then you get a million virtual AI researchers, and then, you know, it's singularity.
And I think just the sleight of hand in that is, what is a virtual AI researcher, right?
It's like a very easy...
thing to say, but like, what does that really mean?
And, you know, topologies point about, you know, AI is still middle to middle.
It doesn't it's not end to end.
So if an AI researcher is end to end, there's like things it has to do, things the person has to figure out.
They've got to set their own objective.
They've got to be able to pivot in ways that I can't, you know, like, is it is that really feasible to create a virtual AI researcher?
I think there's like parts of the job
that AI could get really good at or even better than humans, but probably that tool has to be used by a human AI researcher.
I guess the argument, I suspect, could be sort of teleological in the sense that you might need AGI to create a virtual AI researcher as opposed to the other way around.
And if that's the case, you don't just, you know, you're not going to get like singularity.
So I'm a little bit skeptical of that claim.
