Benj Edwards: Major Shifts at OpenAI Spark Skepticism About Impending AGI Timelines

The moves have led some to wonder just how close OpenAI is to a long-rumored breakthrough of some kind of reasoning artificial intelligence if high-profile employees are jumping ship (or taking long breaks, in the case of Brockman) so easily. As AI developer Benjamin De Kraker put it on X, "If OpenAI is right on the verge of AGI, why do prominent people keep leaving?"

I stand by my opinion that LLMs are kinda useful in some cases but artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a looooong ways away.
