You're simply imposing it, without measuring anything. The problem is not imposing that the one-way speed of light is c, the problem is measuring it.

If you emit a pulse, you can never (and by "never" we mean a fundamental impossibility) anticipate its arrival at any point to detect it and measure it yourself. If you decide to place a detector at that point and send a return signal to report the light's arrival, that's a return journey.

Exactly, for example in the case of chatgpt, the idea isn't to create a machine that responds "hello" to all inputs, but quite the opposite: a machine that generates a specific output for each input—the optimal output for each input—potentially handling a vast number of different inputs (far...

Nobody wants that, which is why the goal is to eliminate anomalous behavior, to keep the entire process under control. No company would spend millions creating a machine that might randomly decide "I don't want to work today," or commit suicide (or enslave humanity).

It is not necessary to go to the extreme where AGI and highly evolved robotics exist; long before that point we should already be noticing problems and changes in society. The current state of society is such that your boss is more likely to be replaced by AI than you are. Robotics is not...

This is incorrect. You're overlooking hallucinations. Hallucinations occur throughout this process. You can't guarantee that doing the exact same thing will produce the exact same hallucinations.

It's incredible how often this happens, ending up discussing language instead of physics.

Even a rock doesn't have neurons. If by achieving all goals you mean achieving zero goals, I agree. But the most common definition of intelligence is "the ability to solve problems," and a rock doesn't solve problems. Furthermore, achieving goals implies having pre-established them beforehand...

What do we mean by AGI? The AI bubble is inflated by selling AGI instead of AI itself. Major companies are selling an exotic idea of what AI could become. If AGI isn't achieved, the bubble will burst.

For example, https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.04664 , Why lenguage models hallucinate Or, https://www.arxiv.org/pdf/2512.21577 https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.05232 , A Survey on Hallucination in Large Language Models: Principles, Taxonomy, Challenges, and Open Questions...

And this is not trivial. One indication that we don't know how to predict and define the structure of hallucinations is that the superficial changes we make simply shift the problem. Removing hallucinations from one place and putting them in another doesn't reduce the number of hallucinations...

A LLM is a formal system; we can use it to number things, We can make it work with the set of natural numbers. An interesting question I've seen several times is: Is incompleteness applicable to LLMs? Most likely, an LLM without hallucinations cannot be truly general.

Obviously, this isn't the way to conduct an intelligence test, for the reasons I mentioned. We're trying to measure intelligence, not just memory. The only thing we can be sure about an intelligence test is that it measures our ability to solve intelligence tests, never intelligence in its...

Intelligence tests measure our ability to solve intelligence tests, plain and simple. Let's say we take an intelligence test and get a certain score. Let's say we're given feedback on what we did right and wrong on the test. Then we repeat the exact same test, and now our memory (having learned...

Yes, but the original test presentation omits that and directly assumes a human judge who knows the reality. I suppose you can replace the human judge with AGI.
