AI companies are buying up all of the RAM in a futile bit to reach AGI.

And haven't even achieved AI yet. What we call "AI" is still nothing more than an upjumped calculator.

In addition, we haven't even come up with a definition of intelligence.

To quote a recent post "we taught computers to talk like middle managers and assumed that meant computers were sentient, rather than assuming that middle managers aren't"

Their fucking calculator can't even calculate. Big fucking whoop.

And people keep shovelling money in their bottomless maw. The world is mad.

I swear bro, just let me add one more gigabyte. I swear, we're gonna get to AGI. Just add one more gigabyte. Just let me add one more gigabyte. Just let me add one more gigabyte. I swear. I swear. I swear. I swear, we're gonna get to AGI. Just one more gigabyte and just make it bigger. Just make it bigger. We're gonna get to AGI. We'll get there. We'll get there. We'll get there. Just make the model bigger. I swear.
