I 100% agree. I don't know what the GP is on. Being able to write instructions in a .md file is "further away from AGI"? Like... what? It's just a little quality of life feature. How and why is it related to AGI?

Top HN comments sometime read like a random generator:

return random_criticism_of_ai_companies() + " " + unrelated_trivia_fact()

Why are people treating everything OpenAI does as an evidence of anti- AGI? It's like saying if you don't mortgage your house to all-in AAPL, you "don't really believe Apple has a future." Even OpenAI does believe there is X% chance AGI will be achieved, it doesn't mean they should stop literally everything else they're doing.
