Artificial General Intelligence? Wanna Bet?

Welcome to the very first episode of Philosophy, Programs and Prompts!

In this inaugural episode, hosts Casey Hart (a PhD ontologist building graph data models from @OntologyExplained ) and Carl Brown (a veteran software engineer from @InternetOfBugs ) team up to cut through the massive corporate hype and apocalyptic doom surrounding Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

As two real humans with deep industry expertise, they place their bets on an AGI gambling line—explaining why we shouldn't expect human-level machine intelligence until at least 2075. They dive into the mechanics of how Large Language Models (LLMs) use multi-dimensional vector spaces, debate whether "usage" equals true "understanding," and look back at history to see how AI fits into the long legacy of human automation.
