If it's within reach of a 60 hour week then it's within reach of a 30 hour week.

This LLM copycat bullshit is never going to be it though. It's not thinking, it's looking up the answers at the back of the book.

Is there any actual evidence that they are getting closer to AGI? It seems ridiculous to think that this LLM parrot bullshit is getting there, when the thing can't even learn the rules of a basic sum.

Yup, hire 20-30% more people and have them work 30 hours. That's fewer total hours worked, but they're higher quality hours, so you should get more from less.
