Greg Kamradt: AGI's 'general' means doing what it wasn't trained for, via self-built tools
GregKamradt · x · 2026-09-09
Greg Kamradt argues that the 'general' in AGI means a system can do things it wasn't trained to do. If a model's weights are frozen (he assumes Google's astra's still are), any capability gain must come from external memory and tools the model builds for itself. He cares less about what a model can one-shot and more about what it can accomplish through building its own tools given enough time and inference.
