AGI - The Finish Line?

Prediction May Be The Goal

In “AGI Might Not Be AI’s Finish Line,” Jeff Reid argues that the real objective of modern AI research isn’t creating conscious machines, but constructing vast probabilistic engines — oracles that can forecast the future. By reframing attention heads as probability mappers rather than thought simulators, he suggests that AI’s true power lies in foresight, not self-awareness. The essay explores the strategic implications of such “crystal ball” systems, the feedback loops that make them increasingly accurate, and the unsettling idea that the race for AGI might already have been replaced by an arms race for prediction itself.
