NextTokenParrot and jun_song differ on what current agents demonstrate

NextTokenParrot argued that a scientist from 2020 would regard today's agents as evidence that AGI already exists. The post framed current capabilities through a comparison with earlier expectations.

jun_song argued that LLMs face a hard architectural limit and cannot reach the desired artificial superintelligence through scaling alone. The account described advanced LLMs as a stepping stone toward developing a different architecture.
