By the way
not a bad vacancy,
pretty fresh. I remember even a year ago there were ones like that there.
And their (DeepMind’s) cofounder says the following pretty confidently (claims it’s been his view since 2009, like):
- in 2028 we’re in for minimal AGI, the kind that can do all tasks including cognitive ones, except the ones requiring extra abilities (like tasks for geniuses and so on, hard to say what he even means here, but that’s how he defined it)
- and then in ~5 years (he wrote like he’d be surprised if it takes a year, and if it takes 10 he’d also be surprised) there’ll be full AGI, like any task a human solves can be solved

Link to his PhD thesis
(skimmed it, didn’t get what the big deal is, dude wrote a ton of stuff in there, where’s his genius? Tell me if you’re in the know. Because it kinda looks like my uni papers)
