Is this what they mean to "Feel the AGI?"

AGI has been achieved internally once again at Meta.

Care to elaborate on how you came to this conclusion?

Given that the definition of "AGI" is meaningless, my definition of "AGI" is what it is been used for right now, rather than what any of these CEOs are promising:

It means layoffs with AI, with the smokescreen of "abundance".

Would it be Mark's cloned AI who will call everyone 'personally' to share this news?

I won't be surprised if that's one of the use cases in their mind.

The real question for me is how the hell did this company reach $200 billion in annual revenue? Nothing about our economy makes any sense to me.

This isn't surprising. This will happen at every tech company first, then every other company afterwards. All jobs will get automated, then all companies will be ran by one person: their owner.

So is everyone going to run a company? Or what will the rest of the people do? If they don’t run companies, and they don’t have jobs, how will they buy anything, and who will the people who do run companies find customers?
