  • Umm, no, AGI, or Artificial General Intellegence, the new term they invented for actual AI, doesn’t exist. And it’s very likely a pipe dream for all we know.

    No, what is currently marketed as AI, including Claude and ChatGPT and all the others, is just an LLM. On steroids, sure - but just a generative machine learning algorithm. There has been no breakthrough; that’s why they’re desperately making the LLMs just bigger and bigger, cause they got nothing else.


  • The original books never go further into it, but essentially yes. There’s a single bit of dialogue when Paul’s son talks about hunter seeker robots exterminating mankind. But in the prequel books, during the Butlerian jihad, just before it’s defeat the enemy ai makes copies of itself and launched them to random distant stars. And mind you, this was before faster then light travel (the discovery of which is what actually helped the humans win). But presumably Omnius returns for a reckoning.
