      Maybe. Could also be that humans never invent anything that comes close to a biological brain. Either because we simply aren’t smart enough, or because civilization regresses before we get there. And there’s several trends going on currently which could cause civilization to regress. For example, climate change and declining birth rates (While we could set up an economic system that can deal with a shrinking and aging population, our current one cannot).

            Why are they? Fewer people, fewer mouths to feed, more value on labor, more natural resources and real estate for the rest of us.

            We cant grow forever. Dropping total population in the most ethical way then keeping things steady seems like the most nonviolent cool way to do this.

            Tor fucks sake there’s like ten billion people we could keep everything we need going, easily, with half that.

            Anf imagibe if we actually valuee people instead of treating them like disposable garbage to throw away in poverty and wars! Wouldn’t that be cool?

              Yeah, but my point was that our current economic system can’t deal with, not that we can’t deal with it in general. Migrating away from the current system would require the powerful to give up their power, which they won’t do willingly, even as the walls are closing in. (In fact, when it comes to global warming, the walls are closing in).

        Other algorithms and combination architectures will be invented/rediscovered.

        Now AI has relationships between tokens. AGI needs concepts to be related, amongst other things.

          I doubt that for the foreseeable future. Llms aren’t new at all the scientific space is old it’s just now popping up because they can do a lot with enormous data sets

            Transformers were the kick-start for this generation of AI. Given the flood of money and brains into the area there will be more innovation.
