I think that Zuckerberg’s attempt is a mix of publicity stunt and “I want [you] to believe!”. Trying to reach AGI through a large enough LLM sounds silly, on the same level as “ants build, right? If we gather enough ants, they’ll build a skyscraper! Chrust me.”
In fact I wonder if the opposite direction wouldn’t be a bit more feasible - start with some extremely primitive AGI, then “teach” it Language (as a skill) and a language (like Mandarin or English or whatever).
I’m not sure on how many years it’ll take for an AGI to pop up. 100 years perhaps, but I’m just guessing.
