Talk about moving goalposts. This one from MSFT's Suleyman may well take the cake. “Superintelligence” just went from intelligence beyond all humans to merely “delivering product value”. 🙄

Microsoft can pursue superintelligence independently after OpenAI declares AGI, using AGI's weights as the starting point. Fully automated AI research, combined with the sheer amount of compute available to Microsoft, could suddenly turn it into a frontier lab. [image]

Microsoft's new “superintelligence” game plan is all about business. It's launching a new transcription model today that is a step towards those goals, says Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman https://www.theverge.com/...
