Only read the abstract (Schmidt, the Google oligarch, is clearly unreliable), but this reads like AI doomer propaganda. It's a propaganda technique to hype the dangers of AI in a bombastic manner in order to keep the grift going.
- That is my impression, too.

It’s like an arms race, would be good if no-one did it, would be bad if China got there first.
- Only if it actually worked as the salespeople said it does, we have used this tech enough to know that it very much does not do what they say it can do

  That's the thing. It's been talked about for over a year now, but LLM "AI" won't ever lead to AGI. It doesn't matter how big you make the model, it's never going to actually qualify.
