See the problem is that people expect AGI to learn on its own. LLMs sorta do with big enough context and writing memories, but… They also don’t. They don’t get better at reasoning or anything, they only get better at solving the tasks they’ve written notes on. Which are themselves often pretty bad notes.
They do learn they use search tools and create long term memories. Mechanically that is just tool use it isn’t magic. Do you need these things as emergent properties for them to be real? That would be cool but I don’t think it takes away what is possible now.
