"You can only throw so much money at a problem.

This, more or less, is the line being taken by AI researchers in a recent survey. Asked whether "scaling up" current AI approaches could lead to achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), or a general purpose AI that matches or surpasses human cognition, an overwhelming 76 percent of respondents said it was "unlikely" or "very unlikely" to succeed.

Published in a new report, the findings of the survey, which queried 475 AI researchers and was conducted by scientists at the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, offer a resounding rebuff to the tech industry's long-preferred method of achieving AI gains — by furnishing generative models, and the data centers that are used to train and run them, with more hardware. Given that AGI is what AI developers all claim to be their end game, it's safe to say that scaling is widely seen as a dead end."

We've all known this was the future. That's why I promote local . It's time for , as well as small to mid level , to ween ourselves off , because if we don't we'll see a kind of centralized power that we've never seen before.

Acedemia should reach first, but as we see these companies have also hollowed out universities for talent as well - only for them to be fired in the future? Nuts.

"The point - which I don’t think is understood nearly widely enough - is that radical institutional revolutions such as #DOGE follow naturally from the AGI-prepper framework. If #AGI is right around the corner, we don’t need to have a massive federal government apparatus, organizing funding for science via the National Science Foundation and the National Institute for Health."

Programmable Mutter · Should AGI-preppers embrace DOGE?Av Henry Farrell

I'm seriously worried that a significant number of world "leaders" (present winners in the vast volatility that accompanies excessive inequality) think they are in the end game – that #AGI will freeze a near-present context and give them perpetual sovereignty. I can't believe I'm worried about that, but I am.

"KI"-Fachleute zweifeln an Strategie der Tech-Industrie. 76% der befragten AI-Forschenden halten es für unwahrscheinlich, dass die Skalierung aktueller "KI"-Ansätze zur Entwicklung einer künstlichen allgemeinen Intelligenz (AGI) führt.

"If, alternatively, large models are not the near-term harbingers of AGI, but social and cultural technologies, then DOGE style changes are plausibly a horrific mistake. We are lobotomizing government, and ripping out the funding structures that support key forms of basic and applied scientific research without any plausible replacement. The short, medium and long term consequences are likely to be terrible, unless these changes are reversed quickly."
