> this is the greatest invention of all time
I think it's a little early to make that statement. Could be. But at this point I think things like printing press, agriculture, writing ... they're all many times more significant.

Now, obviously all these things built on each other, so comparing them like this is a little silly, but in my view, inventing AI is essentially inventing an inventor of fantastical things on par (and beyond) the greatest inventions of humanity, including the ability to self-improve.
To be clear, I don’t think today’s LLMs are there yet, and I take no position on whether they’re a dead end, but in my view ASI has no fundamental barriers that cannot be overcome in time.
