Tegmark is a cosmologist through his career.
But anyhow, all this AGI talk (which is a pipe dream when you realize that LLMs are just overtrained language models - a big jump but nowhere near "intelligence") is distracting from more pressing concerns: Personal Data within Datasets.
Generalized LLMs like GPT are only so successful because they were trained on corpora like Reddit, comments, forums, etc.
How do we do this kind of training without also training on PII and also do so without infringing on the privacy of users.
This is way more critical imo and all this AGI and AI Safety stuff is distracting from it.
