I don't know about AGI, but these models are automating a lot of work.
I think but do not know that we'll have higher level work that sits atop it.
I don't know if/when we won't be needed to orchestrate that work.
I'm worried that if we don't have open source models that are up to par with the work-automating models that we'll have a rosy future. One of my biggest fears right now is big capital owning all the big models and infra. And that one day, they'll own all the labor.
I share your worry, and I would say that the AGI scare is definitely instrumental to the outcome you’re describing. It’s a narrative that serves the goal of large capital, with the hope of a side of regulatory capture too.

Now, however, I don't think that we have that option. Pretty much everyone in tech was coerced to board a single boat of commercial AI.
My concern is what happens if it hits an iceberg. It's not like we can go back to pre-LLMs now.
