This by @snewmanpv is spot on, and exactly what we called the "false summit" phenomenon in AI as Normal Technology — as we climb the mountain of AGI, what we thought was the peak is repeatedly revealed to be a false summit. This is what leads to the accusation that skeptics keep "moving the goalposts". Of course we keep moving the goalposts — the actual goal turns out to be too far for anyone to see or understand, and the goalposts are mere proxies, so as our understanding improves the target moves farther away. https://t.co/tDqewRNcjT
