What is that? What could merely require light elementary education and then it takes off and self improves to match and surpass us? That would be artificial comprehension, something we've not even scratched. AI and trained algorithms are "universal solvers" given enough data, This AGI would be something different, this is understanding, comprehending. Instantaneous decomposition of observations for assessment of plausibility, and then recombination for assessment of combination plausibility - all continual and instant for assessment of personal safety: all that happens in people continually while awake. Be that monitoring of personal safety be for physical or loss of client during sales negotiation. Our comprehending skills are both physical and abstract. This requires a dynamic assessment, an ongoing comprehension that is validating observations as a foundation floor, so a more forward train of thought, a "conscious mind" can make decisions without conscious thought about lower level issues like situational safety. AGI needs all that dynamic comprehending capability, to satisfy its name of being general.
Readit NewsThere are a lot of people focused on performance, various methods, just as there are a lot of people focused on non-performance issues like fine tunes that add aspects the models lack, such as terminology linking professional media terms to the model, the pop culture terminology the model does not know, accuracy of body posture during fight, dance, gymnastic, and sports activity, and then less flashy but pragmatic actions like proper use of tableware, chopsticks, keyboards and musical instruments - complex actions that stand out when done incorrectly or never shown. The model knowledge is high but has limits, which people are adding.

We're still just apes with hats. Very complicated hats, but it's still an ape wearing it. You can teach a few apes a whole lot of tricks, but it takes a lot. Most of the apes won't learn much. The few smart apes will learn tricks and incentives, which when properly applied, allow those few smart apes to control the rest of the apes. That control is called society.

The 19th and 20th centuries saw a huge shift in communication. We went from snail mail to telegrams to radio to phones to television to internet on desktops to internet on every person wherever they are. Every 20-30 years some new tech made it easier, cheaper, and faster to get your message to an intended recipient. Each of these was a huge social shift in terms of interpersonal relationships, commerce, and diminishing cycle times, and we've grown to expect these booms and pivots.
But there isn't much of where to go past "can immediately send a message to anyone anywhere." It's effectively an endstate. We can no longer take existing communication services and innovate on them by merely offering that service using the new revolutionary tech. By tech sectors are still trying to recreate the past economic booms by pushing technologies that aren't as revolutionary or aren't as promising and hyping them up to get people thinking they're the next stage of the communication technology cycle.
Perhaps for uneducated casual communications, lacking in critical analysis. The majority of what passes for "communications" are misunderstood, misstated, omit key critical aspects, and speak from an uninformed and unexamined position... the human race may "communicate" but does so very poorly, to the degree much of the human activity in our society is placeholder and good enough, while being in fact terrible and damaging.
That's not how natural general intelligences work, though.
