The first panic over imminent AGI was circa 2013 about Atari Q-learning by DeepMind. The second one was circa 2016 over Deep RL (partially triggered by AlphaGo). So many folks in late 2016 were convinced that Deep RL would lead to AGI in under in 5 years…

Yes, that's one of my points.
Text is insufficient.
We need sensory inputs to learn how the world works.
We can estimate the total amount of visual data seen by a 2 year-old: 2 years = 2x365x12x3600 or roughly 32 million seconds.
We have 2 million optical nerve fibers, carrying -
Genome Storage vs LLM Size: Evolution’s Compression Challenge

Whatever it is that we learned through evolution has to be squeezed in 800MB (the size of the genome, uncompressed).
most of it is just low-level biochemical machinery. Even a tiny LLM requires 14GB. -
