I'll explain why very simply. The vision of AI and the vision of Virtual Reality all existed well before the technology. We envisioned humanoid robots well before we ever had a chance of making them. We also envisioned an all-knowing AI well before we had our current technology. We will continue to envision the end-state because it is the most natural conclusion. No human can not not imagine the inevitable. That every human, technical or not, has the capacity to fully imagine this future, which means the entirety of the human race will be directed to this forgone conclusion.
Like God and Death (and taxes). shrugs

AGI persists not because it’s a coherent scientific objective, but because it functions as a lucrative mythology perfectly aligned with VC expectations...Next step...analyze AGI not just as bad science, but as good branding.

It seems something like a scientific objective. To understand human thinking try making a machine that can do it.

I highly doubt any company are just focusing on AGI, including OpenAI. Else they wouldn't keep on releasing 5 versions of 4o with different "personality".

Is it just me, or this title is gross and annoying up to the point that it's straight up trolling?

It is kinda. And reading the abstract it's maybe worse.

Yeah. I also don’t understand why it’s an Arxiv article, rather than a blogpost.

Because papers are increasingly written to catch the attention of news publications/blogs/social media instead of professors/academics/researchers.

The talent pool has thinned due to oversaturation, isn't that obvious?
