The following submission statement was provided by /u/mjrossman:

considering all the hype around ChatGPT, I felt like I should concretize some thoughts around ML at present and AI in the immediate future. the main point is that we're already crossing thresholds that indicate an accelerating path towards AGI and a much different looking society because of it. I link to several directions that ML can be studied in order to achieve AGI, but this is mostly an introductory post. may write again about this subject very soon.
