Does Astra have human-like continual learning capability over long periods? If not, it's not AGI. Even a system that could pass @demishassabis's new "Turing test" where it has to independently discover general relativity is still a jagged intelligence without human-level "on the job" learning capability. You would have a system that could discover relativity but probably couldn't automate Einstein's job in the Swiss patent office. Lack of continual learning capability is probably an important part of the reason that, so far, we don't see a big impact on white collar jobs beyond entry level. Hot take on OpenAI GPT-6 Astra*, with a challenge to @gdb’s claims about it being AGI toward the end: • Looks to be pretty impressive. Multiple reports suggest it is a genuine advance. • As someone who has campaigned for nearly a decade for (neuro)symbolic world models, often to …
