AGI is a Vibe Now
30:12|Justin and Andrew dive into the growing debate over whether we’ve already crossed the AGI threshold — or if we’ll even know when we do. From Tyler Cowen’s “AGI moment” with OpenAI’s o3 model to the jagged frontier of modern evals, they explore why defining intelligence is more subjective than ever.Chapters00:00 - Intro02:20 - The AGI Moment10:22 - Is o3 or Gemini 2.5 AGI?14:50 - The Pseudosingularity20:16 - Humanity's Last ExamThe Tip Jar AI Model
32:12|Meta announces not one, not two, but three LLaMA 4 models — and somehow the most impressive one isn’t actually available. Andrew and Justin dive into the weird timing of the release, the confusion around Chatbot Arena scores, and why the open-weight community is raising eyebrows. Plus: what does “open” really mean anymore, and are we on the edge of an eval collapse?Chapters00:00 - Intro00:30 - Llama 406:01 - Open Source vs. Open Weight11:54 - AI Monetization21:37 - A Pending Eval Crisis?31:46 - Wrap-upPerplexity's Comet
