AGI 即将到来 我们现在有信心知道如何构建传统意义上的 AGI GPT-5 是一次重大升级……是通往 AGI 的重要一步 其实 AGI 这个词没什么用 短短半年时间内，OpenAI CEO 山姆·奥特曼（Sam Altman）先后抛出了这个观点，第一句让全世界振奋，第二、三句让用户和投资人躁动，第四句却又几 乎否定了前面的一切。 关于 AGI 的定义，在他嘴里已经变成了薛定谔的猫，既存在又不存在，既重要又无关紧要。 奥特曼的人设，塌在 GPT-5 图片来自：@tsarnick 这些微妙的肢体语言，让人分不清他究竟是在仰望天花板寻找灵感，还是因为心虚而不敢直视镜头？当这些细节被网友翻出来反复解读，也成了压垮奥特 曼人设的最后一根稻草。 在 GPT-5 尚未发布之前，奥特曼的预热推文更是一条比一条神秘。直到现在，我们依然搞不明白为什么他看到 GPT-5 后会「眩晕无力、瘫倒在地」。那 张著名死星图片，原本想营造的神秘感，如今也成了网友们的笑料。 尤其是，他最近大半年来一直强调 AGI 多重要，上周末转头接受外媒 CNBC 采访表示：「我认为这（AGI）不是一个非常有用的术语。」对此，他解释 说 AGI 定义太多 ...

8月16日消息，在最新一期OpenAI发布的播客节目中，主持人（OpenAI前工程师）安德鲁・梅恩和其公 司的黄金搭档——首席科学家雅库布・帕乔基（Jakub Pachocki）和研究员西蒙・西多尔（Szymon Sidor）作为嘉宾参与。 这对搭档回顾了从波兰高中同学到在OpenAI共事的渊源，还深入探讨了人工智能发展的关键议题，包 括通用人工智能（AGI）的定义与衡量标准、技术突破的标志性成果、基准测试面临的挑战，以及AI对 教育、科研和社会的实际影响等。核心观点有： ●AGI的定义与衡量演进：AGI已从抽象概念细化为多维能力集合。比如IMO金牌等里程碑虽有意义， 但点状突破已不足，未来应关注其在自动化科研和现实应用中的影响。 ●AI技术的突破轨迹：从早期情感分析的局限，到GPT系列模型的迭代，模型已能参与IMO、ICPC、日 本AtCoder等竞赛，展现出强大的推理与创造性思维能力。 ●基准测试的挑战与 "饱和"：许多基准测试已出现"饱和"，模型接近或超过人类水平，但难以全面反映 智能。衡量标准需转向实际效用与新见解的发现能力。 以下为此次播客节目的精华版内容： 安德鲁・梅恩：大家好，我是安德鲁・梅恩， ...

关于AI将如何重塑世界，当下的讨论充满了喧嚣与迷雾。有人在渲染通用人工智能（AGI）的奇点焦虑，有人在计算AI取代了多少岗位，但这些讨论往往 忽略了一个更根本、更迫在眉睫的关键：AI如果充分代表个人意志，与现行互联网的平台中心主义，正在酝酿一场不可避免的旷世冲突。 这场冲突的核心切入点，简单到只有一句话：当你的个人AI智能体（Personal Agent）收到的第一指令是"我不想看任何广告"，而服务方平台的智能体核 心目标是"提升广告转化率"，会发生什么？ 答案是，支撑了互联网商业的基石——广告模式，将瞬间崩塌。 因为现有模式的命脉，在于平台对信息流的绝对控制权，在于它能决定你看什么、不看什么。 当AI赋予了每个用户一个忠诚的、以个人利益为最高指令的"代理人"时，这种控制权便被瓦解了，上面的模式就会崩了。 而如果你的代理不听你的而听平台的，你会用它么？所以这是完全不相容的两种模式。 这并非简单的技术迭代，而是一场市场主导权的再分配。 一、 平台主导下的旧秩序 要理解这场冲突的颠覆性，必须先看清过去二十年互联网的底层权力结构：注意力上的权利不对称。 过去用户是注意力的供给方，而平台（所有互联网大厂等）是注意力的 ...
