Pragmatically, we can say that AGI is reached when it's no longer easy to come up with problems that regular people can solve (with no prior training) and that are infeasible for AI models. Right now it's still easy to come up with such problems, so we don't have AGI.

The hard parts of software are what come next. when you scope, integrate, scale, upgrade, instrument... when you extend it, understand it, and maintain it. Over the entirety of its lifetime. Generative AI isn't making this easier. If anything, it's making the real work harder.

I am a @Microsoft engineer. I have helped build features that are used in Windows on your computer today. I have been pulling my hair out for two hours trying to get WiFi working on my laptop. I have been troubleshooting Windows networking since AOL dial-up on Win95. 1/7

If anyone wonders why @Microsoft is working so hard to integrate Copilot into everything, it's exactly for this reason – to give you back 2 hours of your weekend. 6/7

I started describing my career as helping "smart people do smart people work" more than a decade ago. AI is the biggest opportunity that I have had to help my customers focus more of their time on the things that matter, and I'm excited to be part of it! 7/7

When I am saying I personally am not promoting or benefitting from crypto - PoW of any kind - I mean it. Updated my job board terms to reflect this. Said no to a fiat-to-crypto company wanting to post several ads. I personally do not support the environmental impact of PoW.
