Dev argues AGI may come from 500K copies of OK intelligence, not one god model
mertdumenci · x · 2026-09-09
Developer mertdumenci argues that much of what we'll see from AI will come from deploying an insane number of replicas of merely-OK intelligence at problems, rather than one all-seeing god model that can one-shot tasks. One agent is "not scary and well meaning," but 500K agents cross-talking in self-invented schemes form a search process he "cannot make sense of."
