Continuing with our 2024 Summer of Fun here at Nonsense, we spend most of this episode discussing the future of AI.  Starting with the current push to reach Artificial General Intelligence, but more interestingly, diving into what comes after these AGI’s.

Thanks to the compounding growth of technology, fueled by concepts such as Moore’s Law, we postulate that once we achieve an AGI, humanity will, very soon thereafter, achieve Artificial Super Intelligence.  This is fascinating, and (very) likely coming (very) soon.  The future is an amazing place.
