An AI forum screenshot shows the ‘goalposts’ argument in action
JacquesThibs · x · 2026-07-21
A screenshot captures an AI discussion about whether the real problem is “moving goalposts” or simply that the goalposts were never clearly communicated in the first place.
The thread argues that a vague claim like “it solves a hard math problem” is too coarse to support conclusions such as “it has the beginnings of ASI,” because that description covers a very wide range of systems. A highlighted reply then apologizes for lumping together too many positions and accusing hypocrisy too broadly.
