A possible protection for OP and anyone else reading this could be to upload a draft of a report to a repository at osf.io (Open Science Foundation). You can keep the repository hidden for now, but it’ll be there with a date stamp on it should the worst happen and somebody rip off the work

Yep. I’m using a used ThinkPad X1 Carbon. 8 years old and running Linux like a dream

Because they tried leaving it to the private sector and people got unhealthy from eating cheap refined carbs?

I was questioning the use of the word “prolly”

“Prolly”

The idea of general intelligence (g) is that you’ve got some overall capacity that can be turned to any task. Human intelligence is probably much more like a big toolbox of skills, though, and I can’t see a version of computer “intelligence” that’s any different to that. I worry that people who get excited about AI are kidding themselves a bit as it isn’t going to be general - it’s going to be a toolbox at best: an LLM for writing, a totally different system for drawing, another for identifying birdsong, and and yet another for maths… And at that point you’ve not got some special interesting AGI - you’ve just reinvented the idea of apps

If AGI is made of components, you could argue that it isn’t “general”. Which would be fine, as most psychologists would say the same about human intelligence
