you can say something and not care about whether it's true or false. That's literally the definition of the BS. And my view is OpenAI, even Anthropic, all these other companies who are talking about AGI, don't have a definition for it. They just say it because their investors want to hear it. It's a great way to drum up money. Total BS.

About this clip

Ian P. Cook argues that companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are essentially bullshitting about AGI because they don't have clear definitions for it. He claims these companies are just using AGI buzzwords to excite investors and raise funding, without any genuine substance behind their claims.

Why this clip

Bold accusation that major AI companies are deliberately misleading investors with undefined AGI promises just to raise money.
