This is AGI
This Is AGI (S2E4): The Art of Conjecture

How AGI is going to measure the plausibility on uncertain statements in the real-world scenarios of incomplete information so that, among other things, we too can know what AGI is thinking?

This Is AGI (S2E3): Will AGI Obey Logic?

A charge is often laid at the door of the large language models (LLMs) that they rely on probabilistic generation, assuming that this is somehow a bad thing, and that a more deterministic behaviour would somehow be a better idea for the future artificial general intelligence (AGI).  Before the advent of the LLMs, almost all practical computer systems followed deterministic logic encoded in their software, but as I will argue in this episode, the future AGI will be neither deterministic nor deductively logical.


This episode is broadly based on a chapter from E.T.Jaynes (2003) Probability theory: The logic of science. Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press.

This Is AGI (S2E1): Classes, Attributes & Relationships

We take objects, classes, and relationships for granted, but they are just conventions we’ve agreed to use, not truths carved into reality. In this episode, we explore why these human-centric conventions matter, and why guiding AGI to adopt them may be the difference between an intelligible world model and one we can’t understand at all.

This Is AGI (S1E12): The Future of Work

There is no question that the proliferation of the AI throughout the global economy will result in a massive reformat of the job market. A lot of jobs will be lost. A lot of completely new careers will emerge. What can you do about it to find yourself on the right side of the equation?

This Is AGI (S1E10): Yann LeCun, JEPA & the World Models

Before humans act, they imagine outcomes. AI doesn’t. Yann LeCun thinks that must change, and his JEPA architecture could be the missing link between powerful neural networks and real-world intelligence driven by internal models of reality.

This Is AGI (S1E9): The Curse of Inconsistency

The advent of large language models (LLMs) fundamentally changed the behaviour of computer systems that we learned to trust over the last several decades of development of computation.

This Is AGI (S1E8): World Models Wtf?

In this special Wtf? on World Models, I will give you a break-down of what this whole hype is about, where it is misplaced and why it is a good kind of hype to have for those who are interested in the artificial general intelligence (AGI).

This Is AGI (S1E7): Latent Spaces Wtf?

In this special Wtf? episode we unpack the concept of a latent space. You will see why it is so important for understanding both LLMs and the future systems that will exhibit the capabilities of artificial general intelligence (AGI).

This Is AGI (S1E6): Succession

Will the artificial super intelligence force humans into submission? Throughout the human history, a nation that commanded a superior learning capability ultimately prevailed over its opponents. The ability to learn, the key component in our definition of the artificial general intelligence (AGI) will, by that very definition, bring the AGI through super-intelligence to super-power. Will we be able to coexist peacefully?

This Is AGI (S1E5): Can AGI cure cancer?

Can we cure cancer with artificial intelligence?  In this episode, we start unpacking the capabilities that an agent with artificial general intelligence (AGI) must possess in order to find the cure for cancer and transform the medicine as we know it.

This Is AGI (S1E5 Trailer): Can AGI Cure Cancer?

You have to give it to Sam Altman.  He can make even the great and powerful Wizard of Oz blush.


Altman can say something like: “You can choose to deploy five gigawatts of compute to cure cancer or you can choose to offer free education to everybody on Earth.”  He then uses the fact that he himself cannot make that moral choice as a justification for him getting his hands on ten gigawatts of compute while leaving him under no obligation to either cure cancer or provide free education to anybody.  But can we actually cure cancer with AI?


In our next episode on Monday, we will unpack the capabilities that an agent with artificial general intelligence, or AGI, must possess in order to find the cure for cancer and transform the medicine as we know it.

Do LLMs Learn?

In this episode of 'This is AGI', we unpack Adrian de Wynter’s large-scale study on how LLMs learn from examples, their limits in generalization, and what this means for the path toward artificial general intelligence.

Define 'artificial general intelligence'

What is AGI, really? In this episode of This is AGI, we cut through the hype to unpack the elusive definition of artificial general intelligence.  We explore how transferability of skill across contexts and goals, focus on capability vs process, and rule-exploitation vs rule-following come together to define what makes intelligence truly general.

Is AI rational?

In this episode of This is AGI, we grade modern AI on five markers of rationality—precision, consistency, scientific method, empirical evidence, and bias. The mixed scorecard shows impressive strengths but troubling gaps, raising the question: can today’s AI really be called rational, and what does that mean for the road to AGI?
