AGI is an engineering problem, not a model training problem

news.ycombinator.com Vinci Rufus 2025-10-31 13:18:52

Published: Aug 13, 2025 | at 11:00 AM We’ve reached an inflection point in AI development. The scaling laws that once promised ever-more-capable models are showing diminishing returns. GPT-5, Claude, and Gemini represent remarkable achievements, but they’re hitting asymptotes that brute-force scaling can’t solve. The path to artificial general intelligence isn’t through training ever-larger language models—it’s through building engineered systems that combine models, memory, context, and determ

Before Colin Farrell became the Penguin in Matt Reeves’ The Batman, the character almost had a different origin story in the DC Universe. According to star and producer Margot Robbie, early versions of the script for her Harley Quinn vehicle Birds of Prey, featured the iconic Batman villain as the main antagonist, but then someone stepped in and asked that not to happen. “Matt Reeves said, ‘Don’t use the Penguin.

Roborock was the first company to market to offer a robot vacuum with a mechanical arm to help you sort items, with the Roborock Saros Z70 making a strong impression on us when we tested it.
