Dev hails continual learning paper: AGI defined in 2000, only now is anyone training for it
willcb · x · 2026-09-26
Developer willcb calls a recent paper the coolest he's seen in a long time: someone finally trained toward an AGI definition that dates back to 2000, despite nobody attempting it for over two decades. He argues the approach should scale if you pick any sensible programming language with easy internet access, and urges greenfield continual-learning labs to take note. No specific paper name or technical details are given.
