Naturally, OpenAI CEO and hypeman Sam Altman has remained optimistic. During a Reddit AMA this week, he even claimed that AGI is "achievable with current hardware." His projection shouldn't come as a surprise. It's exactly what we'd expect from the person in charge of a multibillion-dollar company that has made it its mission to realize AGI. But even for Altman, who has a track record of making lofty statements about AI, it's an unusual claim, suggesting he believes the company's current investments in AI infrastructure will result in realizing AGI. However, without any further clarification of what he means by "current hardware," it's a fairly empty statement.
