Quoting theo's take that GPT-6 Astra has done incredible things no model could do — and some of the stupidest things he's ever seen — bendee983 argues the confusion around AGI's arrival stems from AI's "jagged frontier": uneven capability profiles where models excel at complex, high-level cognitive tasks yet fail at basic, intuitive ones. We are still adapting to this mismatch, and theo notes Fable 5.1 by contrast "just does what I ask."
