AGI is here in the next like two years, every two months or something.
And we'll just be like, yeah, I guess.
It really just depends on how you define it.

Don't ask me about it because they just feel like, you know, I think they're starting to realize that we're getting up to the point where they may have to actually say whether or not they've achieved it.
They don't feel comfortable doing that.
And this is why the Microsoft deal really helps OpenAI because now they can kind of like consciously uncouple from Microsoft without it being a big, you know, external board drama of like when and when and where they're going to achieve AGI.
